The urban renewal project in Giv'at Shmuel also took twenty years to come to fruition The dream of owning an apartment seemed more distant than ever for the residents of 21 public housing buildings in Giyora Neighborhood – buildings that were deemed unfit for habitation All the neighbors had already signed the paperwork and were prepared for the prospect of urban renewal; however legal complications and lots of red tape made it seem impossible to realize as one resident put it: "We raised the property's value based on its potential the National Committee for Planning and Building Preferred Residential Complexes finally approved the Giv'at Shmuel plan which will include 1,831 new housing units to replace 552 crumbling public housing apartments The existing buildings will be converted into 18 new mayor of Giv'at Shmuel: "This is a major development for the city and its residents The plan was prepared based on a comprehensive urban approach that took into account transportation needs and is expected to improve the city's appearance and quality of life I sincerely hope the Israel Land Authority will understand the importance of this project and advance its implementation as quickly as possible." a company that specializes in urban renewal projects and did much to promote the demolition-reconstruction plan in Giv'at Shmuel where it is a stakeholder in the new residential complex Rom says that "it was only after a long period of professional work that the plan was finally significantly improved." The past year's crisis caused additional delays The fact that Israel has no functioning government generates uncertainty in the field of urban renewal as well There is still no law to replace the TAMA 38 program and the Urban Renewal Fund lacks any significant budget and exists in name only about 350 urban renewal companies failed financially; another 250 are at high risk of failure Urban renewal is a mainstay of the Israeli real estate sector with about 1,400 developers active in the field About 30,000 urban renewal housing units are currently in different stages of construction The annual financial scope of these projects is estimated at about NIS 20 billion representing about 20% of the residential real estate sector's aggregate revenue The problem is that 75% of construction is executed in the country's strong central area In the cities along the Syrian-African Rift the national building reinforcement program has barely been implemented and other historical cities along the fault line have been intermittently devastated by quakes throughout history a tsunami once hit Caesarea's Herodian Harbor – a fact that did nothing to shorten the approval process of an urban renewal project in the nearby town of Or Akiva The project awaited approval for over a decade and construction has only recently finally begun This year saw a decline of about 15% in urban renewal housing starts compared to 2019 due to the general decline in housing starts in Israel in 2020 the urban renewal field retained its relative size representing nearly 20% of total housing starts 2020 also saw a drop in the number of permits issued for new projects not least due to disruptions in the activity of planning authorities Some projects took longer than forecast; in others and some companies suffered a decline in sales Another problem is that city mayors are dominant in the project approval process with each municipality taking its own approach "There is no procedure that obligates all municipalities," says Yehuda Katav Chairman of the Contractors' Association in the Tel Aviv and Central Districts and Vice President of the Israel Builders Association and so does each bureau or district committee About 70 thousand urban renewal housing units are expected to join the real estate market in the next few years The proportion of apartments in the Jerusalem District and Judea and Samaria is forecast to rise at the expense of the Tel Aviv and Central Districts the Tel Aviv and Central Districts are still expected to make up 55% to 60% of the sector's activity," says Efrat Segev VP of Data and Analytics at Dun & Bradstreet Tel Aviv has found an interesting way of shortening the cumbersome approval process: in certain areas the municipality itself initiates the urban building plan rather than placing its advancement in the hands of a private developer the municipality publishes a tender and a developer executes the project "This kind of mechanism makes it easier to move plans through the system," explains Architect Lilach Mor barely any buildings have been reinforced; the same is true in the Gaza envelope area and the tax authorities can change this reality by means of incentives for developers "National collaboration is needed to revitalize these cities," says Nir Shmul CEO of the Company for Development and Urban Renewal VP of Urban Renewal at the Rotshtein Company: "One of the main challenges facing large cities in approving major plans is dealing with high housing density During the pandemic we allowed project planners to set aside land for the municipality and communal spaces for residents without reducing the apartment or building size VP of Marketing at YH Dimri: "There is an inherent conflict of interest between the district committee and the developer regarding the number of housing units to be constructed Local councils are concerned about the lack of financial resources and public infrastructure that can suppport an increase in housing density while the developer seeks to add housing units to improve profitability The solution is simple:  appoint appraisers who are experts in project accompaniment and financial checks who will arbitrate between the committee and the developer." CEO of Bonei HaTichon Urban Renewal: "Although local authorities understand the necessity of urban renewal plans they definitely find such plans challenging the head of the local authority set a clear policy and the professional level – led by the Municipal Engineer and the head of the Urban Renewal Administration – implemented the policy understanding that these processes serve not only the apartment owners in the specific complex but also the complex's immediate surroundings and all of the city's residents This created a platform for fruitful activity where the scope of urban renewal projects is greatest is housing density and overburdened infrastructure One solution is based on the concept of shared spaces which has gained popularity mostly in an employment context Local authorities now encourage developers to create shared public spaces for residents These spaces sometimes come at the expense of various amenities for residents we have been seeing greater understanding and general willingness on the part of local authorities to advance such plans." "Urban renewal is usually a common interest of all the parties involved," sums up Tal Kopel "But often there is mistrust between the sides These can happen at almost any stage of the project – the agreement in principle and finally the construction stage – and depend not only on the good will of the parties but also on the professionalism of the developer It is very important to check who the developer is and what his record is using tools that grade professionals in the field." find out the percentage of residents who agree to the plan Even if you reach the majority required by law experience shows that few developers will choose to cooperate when there are residents who oppose the plan It is therefore crucial to speak in person with neighbors who raise objections Try to understand the reasons for their opposition Show respect and don't get too excited about all-encompassing objections Approach each objector and emphasize the component of the plan important for him or her Emphasize the advantages of adding a security room in each apartment and an elevator that will benefit the building's older residents an apartment owner cannot continue residing in the building during the reinforcement or renovation process the law obliges the developer to cover the costs of renting a different apartment for that resident until construction is completed Subscribe to Israel Hayom's daily newsletter and never miss our top stories if the apartment owner is aged 80 or older when the permit is obtained an amendment to the law requires the developer to offer the owner the value of his future rebuilt apartment at the time of evacuation so the resident does not have to move to a rented property If one resident remains who continues to oppose the plan for no logical reason and the objector may find himself accountable for the financial damage caused to the other residents due to his opposition land inspectors have clearly tended to deny objections and allow urban renewal plans to go forward author of the Guide to Tama 38 and Demolition-Reconstruction Projects) This article might include sponsored and commercial content/marketing information Israel Hayom is not responsible for its nature or its credibility The publication of such content or information shall not be considered a recommendation and/or an offer by Israel Hayom to purchase and/or use the services or products mentioned in this article Menora is buying 450 Park Avenue in New York for $445 million Chairman of the Construction and Allied Industries Union: “The agreement is great news for the sector which is..

Sign up here to get Haaretz’s free Daily Brief newsletter delivered to your inbox Mindy Levine never attended the Jerusalem Pride Parade before the religious mother of three will not only participate but also deliver one of the keynote addresses With the LGBTQ community feeling under growing threat from Israel’s extremist new government this year’s event is likely to draw a record-breaking crowd But more than speaking out on her own behalf Levine will be there representing her 8-year-old child who has emerged in recent months as a symbol of the struggles many young transgender people in Israel face – especially in the religious community who are being subjected to really terrible hate just because of who they are,” says the 39-year-old scientist in an interview at her apartment in Givat Shmuel (a largely religious suburb of Tel Aviv) “But it doesn’t have to be that way,” she adds “And I want people to understand that there’s no contradiction between being religious and being LGBTQ and that there’s no need to give up on either identity Asked why she decided to speak out publicly after so many months of keeping her identity under wraps Levine responds: “I felt that if we shared our experiences and explained how all our decisions were based on professional consultation and a belief that what we were doing was in the best interest of our child it could help other families in similar situations.” who grew up on Long Island and immigrated to Israel four summers ago is a chemistry professor at Ariel University in the West Bank She is also the founder and director of an Israeli nonprofit that encourages girls to explore the sciences But she is probably best known these days for being the relentless mom who went to war for the right of her child to express his gender identity as he wished – and won the first parent in Israel to take the school system to court on such grounds her court victories are not the end of the battle but just the beginning as Levine calls her third and youngest child (he has two older brothers) began to identify as a boy from a very young age “Once he was able to dress himself or express his preferences he was reaching for my middle son’s clothing,” his mother recalls I just thought it was because boys’ clothes tend to be more comfortable.” Roee came out as a boy while the family was spending a sabbatical in Israel five years ago “He used to wear his hair short and his brother’s clothes “I’d correct them and say this was my daughter But one day I asked Roee whether he thought I should continue correcting them “Roee came home from preschool and announced to me that he had been thinking about it and realized that he was a boy,” she recounts Levine consulted with a pediatrician friend in Massachusetts whose expertise was gender identity in adolescents “‘This doesn’t have to be complicated,’ she told me when he’s done being a boy he’ll tell you that Roee’s preschool teacher had a different reaction “She looked at me like I was the craziest person in the world when I told her we wanted Roee to be treated as a boy,” Levine recalls “She told me she had been teaching preschool for 30 years and had never heard anything so ridiculous She said she understood we were from Massachusetts but we needed to recognize that we were in Israel now and this isn’t how things are done in this country.” Levine eventually asked the municipality to intervene on her behalf so that Roee would be allowed to come to preschool dressed as a boy and be permitted to use the boys’ bathroom Not every mother would have gone along so easily with a 3.5-year-old child and Levine has indeed been criticized – especially within the religious community – for not putting her foot down Her paramount concern was her child’s mental health “One of the first articles I read on the topic said that trans children supported by their nuclear families have no bigger risk of suicide than the rest of the population but those whose families do not support them have risks that are eight-to-10 times that,” she explains The family returned that summer to Massachusetts where Roee was enrolled in summer camp as a boy Levine fulfilled her long-standing dream of making aliyah and returned to Israel with her three children – but this time without their father a religious public elementary school in Givat Shmuel The district supervisor in charge of the school notified the principal that Roee was transgender and asked Levine whether she wanted the parents in his class to know “I said I wasn’t sure that it was relevant and Roee definitely didn’t want them to know because he wanted to be treated like any other boy So I told her that unless she felt it was necessary She said she didn’t think it was necessary.” who wasn’t very impressed with the comparison that if I had a cisgender kid who was born with one testicle nobody would think it was appropriate to share that level of information about his private parts,” she explains Roee is just a boy with unusual genitals – and once you think about it that way it’s not something that needs to be shared with other people.” Levine got a call from the principal summoning her for an urgent meeting because the other parents had somehow suddenly found out Levine was told that many parents were extremely angry that the information had been kept from them and she was urged to place Roee in another school “I told them that it is completely illegal to transfer him out of a school because of his gender identity and that I have no intention of pulling him out,” she recounts She waited until the day before school started to let Roee know their secret was out and told me that it was my job as his mother to protect him so that nobody bothered him at school.” Levine broke with her usual practice of dropping Roee off at the gate and accompanied him to the classroom out of fear of possible confrontations with his classmates she discovered that a group of parents was planning a demonstration against Roee outside the school Levine opted to take her boys for an outing to Jerusalem that day otherwise normal people could be protesting a child,” she says “Especially people who’ve known Roee for years whose kids have been his friends – that they could think protesting the existence of my child at their school is normal A group of prominent rabbis from the religious Zionist community sent a letter to the Education Ministry in support of the parents They noted that “Jewish law doesn’t recognize artificial changes and forbids the behavior and dressing of a boy as a girl or a girl as a boy.” the school put in a request to have Roee transferred Levine refused to pull him out and the local branch of the Education Ministry was asked to intervene it sided with the school administration and ordered that Roee be transferred to represent her in a suit against the Education Ministry sued the school after it rejected their ultimatum that Roee either be forced to dress as a girl or a separate class be created for their sons so they did not have to study with him and Roee was allowed to remain at his school until the end of the academic year and continue dressing as a boy the court ruling would have allowed him to remain in the school next year as well But Levine preferred to end their relationship with Moreshet Nerya and her son will be attending a nonreligious school for gifted children in the nearby city of Petah Tikva Levine grew up Modern Orthodox in West Hempstead She attended Jewish day schools on Long Island and spent her summers at Camp Moshava – affiliated with the Bnei Akiva religious-Zionist youth movement – in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT and held a faculty position at the University of Rhode Island before moving to Israel “I wanted to make aliyah for as long as I can remember,” she says noting that she found Israel to be a “good match” for her both personality-wise and energy-wise Levine was recently asked by one of the more supportive parents in Roee’s class whether she was thinking about moving back to the United States “I thought it was a ridiculous question,” she says “I told him it wasn’t even on the table – that this is where we live that this is our home and that I have no intention whatsoever of leaving Israel.” When trying to figure out the best way to cope with her child’s gender dysphoria Levine consulted not only with psychologists and doctors but also with rabbis back in the United States “The rabbis we spoke to were of the opinion that not affirming the gender identity of our kid could be life-threatening,” she says “so from our perspective that was pretty much the end of the discussion.” Has the behavior of the parents at her child’s religious school forced her to question her affiliation with the Orthodox community “I think that as a whole the religious community’s treatment of LGBTQ people is abhorrent what do people think they are accomplishing besides making children and adults she praises the openness of the Orthodox rabbis she consulted with in the United States and is tremendously appreciative of the support she is receiving from Havruta – an organization that serves Israel’s Orthodox LGBTQ community “It shows that there’s a vocal minority within the religious community that sees things differently,” she says When Levine recently took her son on a tour of his new school in Petah Tikvah the first thing he did after taking a look around the premises was to remove his yarmulke and stuff it into his pocket “A not small part of me thinks he’s not going to want to stay religious,” his mother laments I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward American Jews need independent news

speed ahead in the coming years and it appears that future development plans will increase this number The Central District Planning and Building Commission this week validated a plan creating a new neighborhood in the northern part of the town The 167-dunam (41.75-acre) site is bordered by Kiryat Matalon and Petah Tikva on the north and the Geha Road on the west The plan includes construction of 719 apartments in nine 20-25-storey residential towers plus 350 assisted living facilities apartments and public space Four 12-storey office buildings with 96,500 square meters of space will be constructed above two commercial floors on the side facing Geha Road Similarly zoned building are on the eastern side of Geha Road in the jurisdiction of Givat Shmuel The earlier construction on the site takes place the more it will continue massive construction in the area in the jurisdictions of both Givat Shmuel and Petah Tikva The Planning Administration announced that a park would be constructed Due to concern about floods from the Kiryat Matalon neighborhood its design will be adopted to channeling water runoff into a reservoir The announcement also said that the plan's authors had devoted effort to encouraging pedestrians and non-motor traffic The design of the new neighborhood's streets will facilitate connecting it to the rest of the city Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on December 29 the impressively named Geographical Committee for Establishing the Boundaries of Bar Ilan University recommended that parts of the university’s campus be transferred to the jurisdiction of Givat Shmuel with the bulk of the campus remaining in Ramat Gan the committee recommended that the academic sections of the campus remain in Ramat Gan while the non-academic sections (student accommodations and the roads around the campus) be transferred to Givat Shmuel The recommendations will now be passed to the Interior Minister who will make the final decision on the matter after hearing presentations from both municipalities mayors of both jurisdictions have already stated their objections to the decision with both claiming sole “ownership” of the university “This is a momentous occasion for us,” said Givat Shmuel mayor Yossi Brodny “This is a first step toward our goal of having the entire university within Givat Shmuel’s city limits and correcting this injustice to the residents of Givat Shmuel I call on Interior Minister Deri to complete the process of transferring Bar Ilan University as a whole to Givat Shmuel,” he concluded Ramat Gan mayor Carmel Shama-Hacohen protested the committee’s recommendation stating: “Bar Ilan University remains in Ramat Gan The committee only decided to transfer student accommodations and the campus roads to Givat Shmuel – the main thing is that the university itself remains in Ramat Gan.” who two years ago finished a prison term for bribery and fraud wants to return to an active role in the urban renewal project in the Giora neighborhood in Givat Shmuel he won in a 1990s tender sources inform "Globes." The crimes of which Appel was convicted were related to winning this tender In 2011, a court approved a creditors arrangement confirming developer Moshe Aharoni as the purchaser of the rights of Migdal Hazohar, a company owned by Appel that had been under a stay of proceedings. Aharoni paid NIS 330 million for the rights, NIS 235 million of which was for land in Givat Shmuel on which Aharoni is currently building a residential housing project in cooperation with Africa-Israel Investments Ltd. (TASE:AFIL) The remainder was for purchasing additional rights of Migdal Hazohar whose main asset is the rights in the urban renewal project The agreement signed with Aharoni was contingent on the Israel Land Authority (ILA) renewing the tender won by Appel ILA sent Aharoni a letter confirming that it was positively considering carrying out the tender and increasing the construction rights in the project The ILA later rescinded its support for the project claiming that it was having difficulty implementing a tender in which criminal proceedings were involved and left the matter for the court to decide Aharoni has been in discussions with ILA concerning an agreement about the Givat Shmuel project and rights in other Migdal Hazohar assets In this context Aharoni also invested money in addition to the millions of shekels deposited with Adv At the height of the negotiations between the parties a new bid to acquire the Migdal Hazohar rights was unexpectedly submitted by a company registered in Cyprus named Herbert Samuel on the Sea asserted that the creditors arrangement signed with him was valid and binding and that the bid submitted by Herbert Samuel on the Sea was no higher than Aharoni's bid it was ruled that the court wanted to hear the views on the matter of the company's creditors will convene in order to decide the matter and submit its position to the court who have been waiting for many years for the completion of the project in the dilapidated neighborhood because of the criminal proceedings linked to it and who had hoped for progress with Aharoni have expressed concern about the new developments "A legal proceeding has been going on for 25 years and during this time the neighborhood has been crumbling and the residents have been dying," Giora neighborhood residents committee chairman Nir Atia told "Globes." "This is a well-known poor neighborhood in Givat Shmuel and the little man in being trampled again I regret that the Migdal Hazohar liquidator and is introducing other parties into an equation that should have been resolved long ago." Published by Globes [online], Israel business news - www.globes-online.com - on May 5 Due to a request from the Freedom of Information Movement the IDF provided data segmented by city regarding the number of reserve days served I noticed that different media outlets have published biased and sometimes false analyses therefore I found it necessary to publish the data here without bias The intention here is not to harm any city but only to present the data as they are to serve as a basis for an honest discussion about the different demographics' contributions to the state and to give due credit to the reservists and their supportive families The data provided by the IDF include total reserve duty days segmented by city for the year 2023 it's necessary to normalize this by the number of residents As Saar Hess and Yaron Drukman noted in their article on Ynet the correct way to normalize is by the number of residents between the ages of 19-45 These are the individuals whose data appear on the Population Authority's website Doing so gives the number of reserve days per person in that settlement I compiled this list for all cities with over 15,000 reserve days This arbitrary round number represents where I got tired of copying numbers The complete list is presented at the end of the document Ramot Magshimim with 53.94 average reserve days per resident It appears there is something common among these towns all of them are prominent religious Zionist towns Why aren't these valuable towns appearing in any publication it is true that the law of large numbers says the average approaches the expected value as the number of samples approaches infinity this is good statistical work with large numbers but here the aim is to check the connection between the population and contribution the smaller cities and towns have a more distinct population profile Since our sample is the number of reserve days it's reasonable to filter by that number and leave only large numbers Perhaps the number we set – 15,000 is sufficient but let's say we follow the number set by Ynet and take into account the 50 places that contributed the most reserve days Efrat in first place with 23.75 average reserve days per resident and Nes Ziona with 11.16 average reserve days per resident Efrat gives a very impressive performance here and there are other cities and councils that weren't mentioned anywhere the answer to this is not very hard; news channels decided to take the largest cities Let's flow with this and calculate for the 50 largest cities our list includes periphery cities that contributed in an inspiring way it depends on how the large cities are calculated I naively thought the most correct and simple way is to take the cities where the number of residents aged 19-45 is the largest because this is the data we use to normalize because if you already copied the details from the Population Authority why look for another total resident number data that give you nothing It's a good question that I still haven't found an answer to Be'er Sheva is a large city by all accounts; it's hard to exclude it from the list and its score is better than Tel Aviv's Do not believe anything written in the media; biased publications can be skewed even when they bring seemingly reliable data the number of reserve days in the haredi and Arab public is very low The public in cities contributes a large number of reserve days; there's no significant visible difference between cities from the periphery or the center The religious Zionism demographic contributes a very high number of reserve days compared to the rest of the population shops and graphic art.SHEKEL’s new prototype farm-based day centers for people with low-functioning autism broke new ground in Israel connecting people with ASD to nature and the communities around them.“Inclusion also means accessibility,” says Feldman SHEKEL’s Israel Center for Accessibility oversaw a major accessibility upgrade of Israel’s Knesset now one of the most accessible parliaments in the world The center also created accessibility plans for the Old City of Jerusalem and for Jerusalem’s light rail system.“People with disabilities are more than four times more likely to experience sexual and other abuse than the rest of the community.” who were killed in the April 7 shooting in Tel Aviv The three Israelis killed in a terrorist shooting at a Tel Aviv bar on Thursday night were named on Friday as Eytam Magini and Tomer Morad Follow Israel Hayom on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram who died of their wounds on Thursday night The date of his funeral has not been released at this time a friend of the two who was supposed to meet them at the bar where they were killed I just want to remember the good things about them I realized something had happened in Tel Aviv and we tried to get a hold of them We realized something had happened," Romano said adding that Magini had just gotten engaged to his girlfriend three weeks ago "They got there first and saved places for everyone else Everyone was on the way when the whole mess began and in the end were murdered at a pub in Tel Aviv."
