Dear Members,
First SOSTEJE Inter-Congress
We are delighted to inform you that the first
SOSTEJE inter-congress in Israel on student research
on the Ethiopian Jews, which took place at Bar-Ilan
University, Ramat Gan, Israel on Sunday 3 July,
2005, was a great success. It was organized by
international committee member, Simha Getahon, in
conjunction with members of the SOSTEJE Israel
committee (Anita Nudelman, Malka Shabtay, Shlomo
Akale, Bat-Zion Eraqi Klorman, Yarden Fanta, Gadi
Ben-Ezer). It was hosted by Bar-Ilan university and
co-sponsored by the Open University, the Association
for the Advancement of Education (the Steering
Committee for Ethiopian Immigrants in the
Educational System) and the NCJW Research Institute
for Innovation in Education at the Hebrew
University. The conference was opened by the
Ambassador of Ethiopia in Israel, Mr. Negash Kebret.
One plenary session dealt with an example of
doctoral student scholarship and another was given
on qualitative and quantitative methodologies; six
students reported on their works. Attached is a
report of the conference in Hebrew prepared by Simha
Getahon, for those who can download in Hebrew.

Large Scholarships for Ethiopian-Israeli Students to
Research the Beta Israel
The need for more Ethiopian students studying the
Beta Israel was identified in the Addis Abeba
conference. We are delighted to announce that
SOSTEJE initiated a move whereby the Center for
Absorption in Science at the Ministry of Absorption
will grant large scholarships for Israeli students
of Ethiopian origin, who wish to research their own
community. These grants will be given to Ethiopian
students who have an M.A. degree and are either
continuing to a Ph.d. or are involved in research
under the supervision of a researcher/lecturer at a
recognized university or college. One such grant has
already been approved at the Weizman Institute.
Attached is the announcement sent out by Mr. Omri
Ingber to all universities and colleges in Israel.
Aynor Fund Scholarships
The Aynor Fund, named after the late Ambassador
Aynor and run by his wife, Sara Aynor, will be
allocating student scholarships to qualified
students at its annual ceremony to take place this
year on 1.1.2006. |
