Traveling Forward in Jerusalem Kickoff Conference – Moving Multicultural Activism Online

As part of our work in advancing the Jerusalem Covenant in Jerusalem, we’re advancing a number of multi-cultural initiatives to improve everyday life in Jerusalem, including, and especially public transportation.

Public transportation in Jerusalem, event invitation

Public transportation in Jerusalem, event invitation

In ‘normal’ times, is an issue that severely affects all – Arabs, Haredi Jews, secular and religious Jews. Each community has their own unique challenges, but it is a problem that is common to all.

For weeks we’d been planning a major conference for Jewish (religious / secular and Haredi) and Arab activists to come together for a conference on public transportation, which was set to take place on March 23. And then the COVID-19 crisis broke out, and mass gatherings were banned. So we took the conference online.

The conference went online, to Zoom

The conference went online, to Zoom

The meeting was attended by 90 people, including residents and professionals, Arabs and Jews, ultra-Orthodox and non-ultra-Orthodox, adults and young people, residents of Jerusalem from all neighborhoods and city council members. The participants were highly diverse, but their common goal was one – coming together to bring about better public transportation for all Jerusalemites. The fact that many of the initiatives raised were common among the different communities only reinforced the need for such intercultural work, and that this process is the right thing to do. We’ve called this initiative, Traveling Forward in Jerusalem.

Traveling Forward in Jerusalem seeks to create a group of residents and professionals – from all Jerusalem communities – who will work together, and who believe that together, and together with the Ministry of Transportation’s Master Plan for Transportation, these processes will make public transportation more accessible, and more adapted to residents’ needs. We aim to create a situation where residents and Jerusalem professionals influence the state of public transport in the city.

During the meeting, different ideas for discussion and action were raised. Among the initiatives that came up were: Developing an application to help operate public transportation more effectively, access to information for residents, a transport committee in East Jerusalem and more. From here, smaller action teams will focus on specific topics and initiatives. We will mentor and support the teams, and together we will work to promote and develop better public transport in Jerusalem.

It was amazing to see people’s willingness to get involved and discuss public transport in the city, even at a complex time like this, when all efforts are focused on the coronavirus. The responses from the participants were very positive, and the meeting seemed to exceed all expectations. We believe this is the first step in a long and meaningful process in our work in the city.

Here’s a short video (in Hebrew) that shows some of the issues discussed:

 

And, of course, many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation, the Natan Fund and the U.S. Embassy Jerusalem, Tel Aviv Branch Office and U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem for helping us to advance tolerance and cross-cultural activism in Jerusalem.

Another Step in Assimilating Principles of Cultural Competency in the Jerusalem Municipality’s Welfare Department

We’re continuing our efforts to assimilate cultural competence in the municipal welfare department in Jerusalem. We’re concentrating on the western region of Jerusalem, which covers a large and diverse area – from Haredi Har Nof and Bayit Vagan to Beit Hakerem, which is considered a secular neighborhood, to Kiryat Hayovel, which includes a highly diverse population of Haredim and secular communities, to the city center, which also includes a broad spectrum of communities, including asylum seekers from Sudan and Eritrea.

The meetings included discussions with the regional director. She is in charge of the welfare offices, the rehabilitation centers, and the training centers. She spoke about the activities of the different professional forums. At each monthly meeting, all professionals from the different neighborhoods meet to discuss the same issue. For example, there are forums that deal with aging, violence, families, authority, eligibility, youth, disabilities and more …

Each forum is accompanied by the forum coordinator and a facilitator, both of them social workers at one of the regional offices. At these meetings, they raise professional dilemmas related to their meetings with clients and the other employees in the region. We decided that this is an ideal forum to advance cultural competency – if each session would also include intercultural aspects that emerging from the cases they bring up they could better assimilate concepts of cultural competency in the different welfare offices and associated centers.

talking about cultural competence with the social workers

The first phase of the process was conducted at the Jerusalem Intercultural Center. At that meeting, held on December 22, 19, all forums and forum coordinators were given tools to examine case studies, raised by the participants from different forums, from a cultural competence standpoint. One of the tools is the three-question model developed at the JICC:

  1. What are the possible interpretations? What possible cultural mores does it touch on?
  2. Have you experienced a similar incident before? How did you act then?
  3. What would you suggest to do at the event presented?

Since then, we’ve worked with them in a number of steps. The second step was work with the forums themselves. Preparatory meetings were held with the director and facilitator of the forum in which they design a meeting with joint facilitation. The third stage is the meeting with the forum itself. So far, we have met with the Authority Forum – employees of the Welfare  Department, who are not social workers and who accompany and assist families in various areas. We spoke with them about their ability to be go-betweens, providing social workers with important cultural information on the one hand and those requesting assistance on the other. Another meeting was held with the Eligibility Workers Forum, which is responsible for subsidizing activities and providing assistance to eligible offices. One of the issues raised in the meeting was how to deal with a person who comes thinking that he deserves assistance (after receiving incorrect information from his friends), but in fact is not eligible according to the guidelines, and how our culture meets (and deals with) that of the person who is asking for assistance. Additional meetings have been scheduled with the Social Workers for the Elderly Forum, and the Family Social Workers Forum.

Many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation for their continued support of cultural competency in Jerusalem since its inception over a decade ago.

JICC Cross-Pollination – Living Safer, Living Longer and Cultural Competence Training at Sha’re Zedek

We continue to hold Cultural Competence meetings for workers at Sha’are Zedek Medical Center. You can read more about our work with Sha’are Zedek here, here and here.

The hospital continues to provide professional enrichment to those who went through our medical interpretation course. These employees speak a range of languages, including Arabic, Russian, Amharic and French. This time, the enrichment covered preventive health and home safety. Our Aliza Shabo-Hayut, Director of our Living Safer, Living Longer project, gave the lecture.

Learning about preventive health and home safety measures

Learning about preventive health and home safety measures

Living Safer, Living Longer seeks to reduce one of the largest problems in preventive health and home safety – procrastination. We know it’s important to perform periodic examinations and tests for the early detection of different illnesses – periodic examinations by the family doctor, mammograms for women, tests for colon cancer, and more. But the daily hustle and bustle of work and family often get in the way, as do personal and cultural fears. This leads to missing opportunities for detecting serious illnesses early. As part of the presentation, Aliza and the participants shared personal stories of early detection, which saved lives – routine skin examination, detecting of a lump in the breast and more. We hope that the employees will use this information to promote their own health and that of their family members, and serve as ambassadors for preventive health and home safety.

Learning terms, learning about tests

Learning terms, learning about tests

Afterward, we held a practice exercise related to interpretation. The participants learned about the advantages of working on online documents (such as Google Docs), where a number of people can upload and update terms for translation at the same time, to the same document. The translation instructors will review the terms translated on the document so that an accurate, up-to-date and professional file of health-related terms – for children as well as adults – can be created.

We were also happy to see that the hospital felt that the interpreters’ visibility was important as well – new tags have been made for them to use when translating! This is how we advance professional medical interpreting, showing that medical interpreting is indeed an added skill, and not everyone can translate. Well done to the hospital management.

New tags in languages they need

The Jerusalem Intercultural Center – Hosting Bar Ilan’s Israeli Hope in Academia Diversity Forum

The Israeli Hope in Academia is one of President Reuven Rivlin’s initiatives to promote diversity and cultural competence in Israeli society. Although the president’s vision focuses on “four tribes” – four groups in Israeli society that will be prominent in formulating its future (Arabs, secular, religious-national and ultra-Orthodox Jews), but conceptually, this vision is very close to that of the JICC and its work to promote cultural competence in Israel.

Introducing the JICC's work in cultural competency

Introducing the JICC’s work in cultural competency

Part of the work of the Israeli Hope in Academia at Bar Ilan University, led by Dr. Liat Netzer, includes activities to promote leadership within the university. The Gvanim (“Diversity”) group is a group of senior academic and administrative staff selected to promote cultural competence within the university.  Our own Dr. Michal Schuster is part of this group.

Mount Zion as an example to cultural competence and diversity

Mount Zion as an example to cultural competence and diversity

On February 26, 2020, the JICC hosted this group at its offices on Mount Zion. They began their day at the Jerusalem Intercultural Center with an introduction to the topic of cultural competence. Dr. Hagai Agmon Snir, our Director (and lecturer at the Louis & Gabi Weisfeld School of Social Work at Bar-Ilan) presented cultural competency and the diverse activities at the JICC over the past 12 years. Dr. Netzer connected the concept of cultural competence to the mission of Israeli Hope in Academia, and showed thought-provoking examples of the academia’s blindness to student diversity, barriers to students and lecturers from minority groups to advance and integrate as equals in the system, and the motivations to improve the diversity and cultural competence of academic institutions in Israel.

Taking lessons from Mount Zion to academia

Afterward, the group toured Mount Zion, guided by Merav Horowitz, Coordinator of the Window to Mount Zion project. The tour illustrated how partnerships between people and organizations (sometimes those who do not hold official roles) succeeded in bridging disagreements and tensions in a place that is small but holds religious, political, and cultural importance to many, many groups. She described numerous examples of cooperation at the David’s Tomb complex, the Dajani family cemetery, and various events that take place on Mount Zion, sometimes routine and sometimes as surprises.

After the tour, the group met to raise questions and insights about the JICC’s work and how it can be applied to academia.

We were happy to host the Diversity group and to be part of the process of formulating and raising ideas to enhance cultural competency at Bar-Ilan University.

The Little Prince is Everywhere – this Time, Kiryat Hayovel

The Little Prince is at it again. This time, on Olswanger Street in Kiryat Hayovel.

In February 2019 the Little Prince began a project called “Clean Olswanger St.”

Olswanger Street, finally being cleaned up

Olswanger Street, finally being cleaned up

They posted on Facebook about how much trash there was on the street, a place where thousands of people live, work and study. (In addition to residents, there’s an elementary and junior high school and six kindergartens on that street.) We developed relationships with local sanitation workers, the municipal enforcement workers (those who give fines for littering, etc.) and landscaping department. We recruited residents, created plans, met, talked, and…… nothing happened – there was not yet enough passion and responsibility at the residents’ side to be a part of the solution. Very frustrating.

Before. This is what people had to live with.

Before. This is what people had to live with.

A year went by. The Jerusalem Municipality began to implement its clean city reform, according to which the Municipality would take responsibility for cleaning 1,250 acres of private-public spaces (PPS’s – we wrote about them here). Technically, it doesn’t need to, because, technically, these spaces aren’t city property. But they are public property, and it just makes sense. We’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating – thank you to the Municipality as a whole and the different departments involved. This is a groundbreaking move, with Jerusalem being the first municipality in Israel to clean up the PPS. Hopefully, other municipalities will follow suit.

Bags upon bags of garbage

Bags upon bags of garbage

So finally, Olswanger St. is receiving its due. Last week, at the end of February 2020, sanitation crews began cleaning up the garbage that had piled up on the hillsides, on the pathways, between the buildings. Over the first week they cleaned one side of the street and the difference is huge!

Look how many bags the garbage filled!

Look how many bags the garbage filled!

Let’s hope that this is a turning point for Olswanger Street, for many clean years to come.

After. Hoping for a cleaner future.

After. Hoping for a cleaner future.

Our Tal Kligman posted about this cleaning event in the Little Prince Facebook group. Here’s her post:

Santé Israël Raising Awareness about Coronavirus for French Speakers in Israel

The coronavirus – its spread, possible cases in Israel and what to do if you’ve visited certain countries or been at different sites at certain times – is at the top of Israel’s news headlines these days.

Santé Israël has been getting the word out to French speakers around Israel.

It has translated directives from the Israel Ministry of Health, and published updates since its outbreak a few months ago. This post, from January 30, was among the first giving instructions in French:

It is important to note that the information doesn’t include medical / scientific information about the virus itself. We’ve found that there is plenty of information about the virus in French online. The goal of this awareness campaign is to make sure that as much information as possible that is issued by Israeli authorities is also available in French. Here’s one of the earlier announcements:

And one of the later announcements:

And the latest post:

In addition, Santé Israël has added the latest information to its web site.

HoliGame – Learning about Workforce Diversity through Play

Deep into the winter months, as the seasonal rains seem to never stop, it’s easy to forget that there are holidays just around the corner. How many holidays? About 20, many of which are concentrated in April-May, and which are celebrated and commemorated by most of the religions and communities living in Israel.

As a manager or employer, how do you prepare for the holidays? What should be taken into account when preparing for the holiday? How should it be marked? What happens when holidays from different religions fall on the same day? How do you make everyone feel like they belong, even when the holiday being celebrated is not theirs?

To learn about the ways to deal with all these complex issues, our Orna Shani Golan, Director of the Cultural Competency Desk, teamed up with  Noa Tron, Director of the Israeli Forum for Employment Diveristy, and together they created HoliGame – a tool about how to prepare managers, employers and other staff to speak about the different holidays during April and May, as they prepare to mark the different holidays in their organizations and companies.

Orna and Noa while the other playin the "MIshag"

Orna and Noa while the other playing HoliGame

On 18.2, we were hosted by Intel’s Petach Tikva campus. A group of 25 women from different organizations came to play HoliGame for the first time: Getting to know the holidays, dealing with different dilemmas, challenges and opportunities that arise around the holidays, as well as issues, both regarding values and organizational logistics, that arise in when different holidays fall on the same day, the different ways workers react to each other, and more.

The Mishag board

The HoliGame board

This is how the game works. In order for participants to advance on the game board, they had to deal with dilemmas such as:

  • How to mark the Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers without adding to existing tensions?
  • How do you decide which holidays the organization celebrates, and which they don’t?
  • What to do with a worker who actively works to sabotage an organization’s holiday commemoration?
  • What to do when employees complain that they must give up their traditions in the name of inclusion and cultural sensitivity?
Playing in action

Playing in action

They also advanced if they picked a card that advances cultural competence, such as:

  • As part of the preparation for the holiday period, you checked in advance who of the employees would like vacation and when.
  • As a result of being prepared and organized early, both the needs of the staff and the needs of the system were taken care of.
  • At a management meeting, it was decided that during Ramadan, all staff meetings at the company would end no later than 2pm so that the those who fast could have time to get home to the special meal that breaks their fast in the evening.

The participants were held up or had to ‘pay’ fines if they picked a card with an activity that is not culturally competent. For example:

  • The foreman scheduled employees for shifts without taking into account that Easter and Passover fall at the same time, and as a result, you receive complaints about being inconsiderate about employees’ needs, and employees are unwilling to work during the holiday.
  • Every May, a ceremony for the company’s Workers of the Year is held, with a rich array of refreshments. This year, Ramadan comes in May, so Muslim workers will not be able to take part in the ceremony.
  • During the interim days of Passover week, a worker who does not keep Kosher dietary laws brought a pita into the common kitchenette, which led to an incident between him and those who do keep Kosher. Workers came to you to handle the issue, and it turned out that there were no previous instructions on what to do regarding food in the company during Passover.

Participants noted that they learned a great deal about both the holidays themselves and about tools to work out issues dealing with them in order to not create new tensions in the organization, and how to prepare ahead of time for the upcoming April and May holidays in particular and holidays in the organization in general.

concluding the game

Concluding the game

Orna posted the following on Facebook:

Remember what it’s like when you had that dream? When you have some vague notion of what you want something to be, but the idea still doesn’t have a clear framework, a precise image in your mind, or even a name. Just a feeling. That’s the way it was with the HoliGame. A game that helps people become acquainted with the different holidays and commemorations in Israel, for those managing diverse teams. For the past several months, Noa Tron, Director of the Israeli Forum for Employment Diversity and I (from the Jerusalem Intercultural Center) have been passing ideas back and forth about how to make all the diverse holidays and commemorations in Israel accessible to everyone? What is the potential to create an inclusive environment with the right approach? And how many issues can be missed along the way? And not to mention the dilemmas that arise from just preparing for and commemorating the different holidays themselves. And finally, today, 25 women (where are you men?) had the opportunity to play this game, the HoliGame. A chance to get to know the holidays (Pentecost anyone?), deal situations, some more familiar, some less, and about think what each person can do to change things in each of the companies she came from.
So one small dream was fulfilled. (And thank you to amazing designer Sagi Ashin for understanding exactly what we dreamt about.) Thank goodness that there’s more where that came from. And if you want to hear more about HoliGame or want me to come to your company, speak with me (or Noa).

Here’s the original post:

The Israeli Forum for Employment Diversity also posted the following on Facebook:

It was a festive and interesting morning at Intel’s Petach Tikva campus. Months of developing and planning about how to prepare for the April-May holidays led us to the HoliGame. Becoming familiar with the holidays, dealing with dilemmas, challenges and opportunities that arise around the holidays, as well as issues regarding values and organizational logistics that arise when holidays fall on the same days, employee reactions, and more. Twenty-five women from different companies were able to deal with these questions in an experiential and unique way.
Some of our recommendations on how to make the corporate environment more culturally competent:
* Get to know the different holiday calendars and prepare for them ahead of time.
* Learn from mistakes and successes – create an organizational memory
* Adjust the company’s readiness to the needs of current employees
* Decide what to celebrate and commemorate – along with employees
* Holiday policies – take into account: food, ceremony, work scheduling (shifts, vacations, working hours), terminology, translation, appropriate gifts
* Creating an organizational ‘toolbox’ for responding to organizational tensions
* Using effective dialogue tools for dealing with employee resistance
* Holidays are not just welfare – they affect workers’ well-being on various levels.
Want to know more? Did you want to play and were not able to come? We also come to the companies themselves. Many thanks to the Jerusalem Intercultural Center and especially to Orna Shani on the wonderful partnership. A special thanks to Sagi Ashin for the stunning design. To the Be-Atzmi organization for the comments, and to Racheli Livni-Mordechai and to Hadar Tal Falik for their wonderful hospitality and the inspiration you gave us in telling Intel’s story.

Living Safer, Living Longer in East Jerusalem Continues to Grow

We’re happy to tell you about two new groups of the Living Safer, Living Longer program in East Jerusalem. One is in partnership with the MiniActive network of Palestinian women (read more about them here), and the other is at the Abna al-Quds Community Center.

Living Safer, Living Longer’s partnership with MiniActive has been so successful that we began a second group this year. The group has 18 participants.

Thus far, all have undergone training in ensuring home safety for families with young children as well as for the elderly. In addition, each was accompanied by the project’s Arabic-speaking staff member in their first home visit. They then continued to make ‘house calls’ on their own.

In order to receive the graduation certificate and volunteer card, each volunteer is required to make at least one house call to one of the group’s members, and two visits each to the homes of local elderly and families with young children.

Completing training

Graduation certificate and volunteer card

They will continue to make new home visits and return to review the improvements to homes they have already visited. We can’t wait for an upcoming visit from a firefighter from the Wadi Joz firefighting station on March 31. He will give a lecture about preventing and putting out household fires.

Another group that is now undergoing training is taking place at the Abna al-Quds Community Center in the Old City of Jerusalem. There, a group of 26 women has completed the theoretical training and is beginning to make house calls, accompanied by  Hirya, the project’s Arabic-speaking staff person.

Sometimes these visits are hard – people often don’t want to invite others into their private space to have them see all they’ve been doing wrong. However, if approached properly, these visits are basically about engaging the public on a personal level to think about home safety. And sometimes, the mentees have suggestions for us, too. One woman who Hirya visited with another volunteer in the Old City suggested, “Don’t wash your floors with too much water, or you could slip!” and “Remove all your rugs from the house!” Definitely worthwhile suggestions.

Thanks to these groups we are refining our work with the volunteers and the most effective methods of engaging the public to improve safety in their homes.

Many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation for their support of Living Safer, Living Longer.

The Little Prince – Creating a Revolution in Private-Public Space

Who’s responsibility is it to clean up those open spaces between apartment buildings? That walkway or set of never-ending staircases that lead from the street to your complex? That vacant lot two doors down? This is an issue that unites all members of the Little Prince network – Arabs, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, residents of various ethnicities etc., and the reason we began the Little Prince network two years ago.

Jerusalem, along with many other cities in Israel, has an interesting section of its zoning code called Private-Public Space, or PPS.  These spaces are basically public open spaces – beside apartment buildings, or in common courtyards, or gardens or stairwells to very large complexes. As opposed to property that technically belongs to specific homeowners or apartment complexes, these PPS’ are open for anyone to pass by. But paradoxically, although they are open to the public, the space doesn’t belong to the Municipality, so technically, the Municipality is not responsible for maintaining these spaces. This responsibility is supposed to be the residents. However, many residents are either unaware of this responsibility or are unable to maintain and clean these areas. The result – too many PPS spaces throughout Jerusalem that are overgrown messes strewn with trash.

Cleaning up the Shapap

Cleaning up the Private-Public Space

And this is a widespread problem, that the Municipality has recognized that is must step in to improve. After several decades of neglect, as part of its plan to clean up Jerusalem, the Municipality mapped PPS’ around the city – over 1,125 acres – with plans to help residents clean and maintain these spaces on a regular basis. Cleaning will be carried out at different frequencies according to each PPS. In addition to cleaning, the Sanitation Division will, as far as possible, be responsible for handling lighting and safety hazards and more.

This is a tremendous accomplishment. Private-Public Spaces cover huge areas throughout Jerusalem, and cleaning and maintaining them will make a significant impact on how Jerusalem’s neighborhoods look.

The most exciting part of this news is that in doing so, in taking responsibility for cleaning up the PPS’s, the Jeruslaem Municipality has set a groundbreaking precedent throughout Israel. As we noted above, issues of PPS’s and whose responsibility it is to clean them up permeate Israel, but most of the municipalities keep to their legal responsibilities – public spaces as zoned. Congratulations to the Little Prince for this huge accomplishment, and many thanks to the Operations Division of the Jerusalem Municipality for their partnership.

fianThe Little Prince – Fostering cooperation between city workers, city departments and residents

One example is in old Katamon. This PPS has been the subject of Little Prince activist, and member of the Ginot Ha’Ir Community Council board, Sarah Yacobzada’s attention over the past few months. A few weeks ago, the Municipality finally began to clean up the area. In response Sarah wrote:

Remember the PPS? They finally started cleaning it in old Katamon. It’s important to say a huge thank you for the partnership between Dudi Turgeman, the Director in the Southern District of the Sanitation Department, and Mazal Gorney, who is responsible for landscaping in our area, as well as to Eitan Levy and Jamal who recruited the workers who cleaned up all the neglect from over the years! And our dear friend Gil Gorny who directed everyone, and who managed to drive significant change in cleaning up the city.
