TASE:PRGO) plant in Yeruham finally have some positive news The employees and Perrigo's management have signed an agreement including a promise that the plant will not be moved away from Yeruham in the next five years The agreement follows a period of uncertainty after Perrigo announced its intention of exiting the prescription drugs sector which will directly affect employees at the plant in Yeruham the purpose of the agreement is to bring more work to Israel and also to maintain the activity afterwards during which the company's employees will receive a 4.25% pay hike each year When the plant is sold (as part of splitting off of Perrigo's prescription drugs business) each company employee who has worked there at least a year will receive a NIS 2,250 gross sale bonus up to a cumulative gross ceiling of NIS 70,000 Another clause in the agreement states that the welfare budget for each employee will be increased by NIS 300 to NIS 3,700 Perrigo Yeruham workers' committee chairperson Haim Ben Abu told "Globes" today we have reached understandings with the company's management The two sides showed flexibility for the benefit of the workers and the plant Two other factories in Yeruham were recently in the headlines: the Phoenicia Glass Works bottle factory and the Emilia Cosmetics factory Perrigo announced several months ago that it was planning to split off its prescription drug business which it is planning to accomplish by 2020 It was previously reported that two US funds were interested in acquiring the activity for over $2.5 billion Perrigo recently announced a new strategy based on switching from healthcare to self care including disease prevent and other products The goal is to generate more value and make Perrigo a consumer company because consumer companies are traded at higher multiples than pharma companies which was built in 2016 at an investment of NIS 180 million Perrigo has been active in Israel since it acquired Israeli company Agis Industries in 2004 Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on May 21 © Copyright of Globes Publisher Itonut (1983) Ltd Israel's Yeruham Municipality and the Center for Educational Technology (CET) are cofounding a tech incubator to serve as a new center for leadership and innovation in educational technology The center is funded by a NIS 20 million donation from the Jack It aims to foster specialized cooperation between entrepreneurs in a bid to �inspire a significant paradigm shift in education in Israel and beyond.� The new center will run several initiatives to offer an open work space for entrepreneurs;

Yeruham's story should be studied throughout Israel By closing the schools swiftly shortly after the school year opened It was since found that two teachers were also infected with virus but by the end of September the virus was on the wane The number of infections fell from 100 to 44 and the city was once again 'green' (low infection rate) What did you do in the city during this period with commerce and industry "Industrial factories are essential and the rules there are observed very seriously There is no casual contact in the factories I didn't impose any additional restrictions on commercial activities but I did create more enforcement in the city Our inspectors walked around the shopping center The police handed out fines and the municipal inspectors raise awareness." Did you stick to halting all the extra-curricular activities "There were certain difficulties in the sports sector because the season had only just started We have since found that there was a chain of infections in the fitness club Private fitness clubs only closed down with the start of the national lockdown before Rosh Hashana." Whoever is able are working with deliveries How did you make the decision to close down the synagogues I have to say that the city has a chief rabbi also in the first wave which was during Passover as well as in the current wave He wrote to all the wardens of the synagogues and then personally phoned each one of them and asked that they act responsibly towards their congregants After all wardens cannot block their congregants from coming I invited all the synagogue wardens together with the chief rabbi for a meeting in my office 'I understand that it is difficult for you to enforce the instructions I want to make it easy for you and simply ask that you close down the synagogues the Saturday before Rosh Hashana all prayers were outside Synagogues were closed on both Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur." Yeruham has a population of 12,000 and 70% of residents are orthodox or traditional asnd regularly attend synagogue Ohana realized that holiday prayers would be Yeruham's true test and that she needed to provide an immediate solution for the public-at-large Ohana decided that she would put up awnings (shade sails) outside each synagogue provide plastic seats and arrange lighting and holiday prayer books She contacted army bases near Yeruham for large awnings and eventually expanded her search and even asked army bases as far afield as Ramla All places were happy to loan her what she asked for "It's not the same conditions as inside the synagogue but outside conditions and we are talking about many older congregants who had to be outside in the heat on Yom Kipppur The aim was to say to them that we won't forego prayer and we will do everything we can so that you can pray according to the instructions as part of a congregation." But how did you persuade the public that staying inside the synagogue was a cause for serious concern I published posts on Facebook tracking every person who was ill I wanted to create awareness among the people of Yeruham that the strict steps taken over the schools and extra-curricular activities were not for no reason and were not enough We worked non-stop overnight and set up 46 outside prayer areas the Ministry of Interior put out an order a couple of days before Yom Kippur and allocated NIS 25 million NIS 1,000 for each synagogue to fund awnings (shade sails)." "We have set up a municipal system that is looking at the situation after the lockdown My working assumption is that the children from fourth grade and above will stay at home with remote learning until June 2021 We have understood that the educational role of the municipality has no relevance in coping with the situation and it is impossible to put the responsibility for now on the schools." Ohana says trhat she has raised targeted philanthropic donations from the Mandel Foundation and other donors and bought 300 computers for children in homes that don't even have a single computer Some of them have already been distributed and others will be handed out after the holidays The municipality's education command center has opened a center for dealing with questions and difficulties that residents have in connecting to Zoom Technical developers are sitting there and answering questions and even visiting each home that is not succeeding in using the system The municipal education department receives a daily report on the quality of studies in each class the amount studied and who had been involved in Zoom meetings and who hadn't." "We are developing a full network of services with emotional support for parents in kindergartens the instructions are to conduct daily Zoom meetings with the educational staff I understood that being on Zoom everyday for 20 minutes wasn't enough We began to produce a Zoom meeting for the kindergarten children at the fire station To tell the children who drives the ambulance I am developing a program that will be relevant for children of all ages." I hear mayors calling for a halt in movement between residents in red cities to green cities In fact that is what I did in the first lockdown I heard that people from outside of the city were coming for the holiday and I didn't wait for the government to announce a lockdown but simply put huge concrete blocks at checkpoints at the entrances to the city and I closed down the city by myself They told me that I would have a problem with the government the mayor of Telz-Stone did the same thing and in Kafr Kasem and many other places they understood that we must take 100% responsibility for the situation." And what do you have to say about Ramat Gan mayor Carmel Shama Hacohen closing movement between his city and Bnei Brak "They criticized him because he made it a matter of the ultra-Orthodox versus the secular But to close down cities until they become green is the right thing to do But it shouldn't be done in a populist way." Yeshiva students got off the buses and went straight for testing Last week yeshiva students returned to their parents' homes "There are about 50 young people who are returning to their parents in Yeruham First of all you have to take care of transport for them back home They got off the buses here and wait straight for coronavirus testing Until the results were received they went into isolation at home I spoke with every family to ensure that there were conditions at home for isolation All the parents signed a document committing that their children would remain in isolation and anybody testing positive was taken out of their home and moved to a coronavirus hostel." We understand that in Yeruham you set up and urban epidemiological system without waiting for the Ministry of Health We already did that back in the first wave and it continues to be active I have two senior doctors here in the city - Dr The two doctors are orthodox and observe the Sabbath like me In consultation with the two of them we carried out epidemiological investigations without waiting for the Ministry of Health." There were very few people ill and I investigated where they were and I called everybody that they were in contact with I walked to the homes of people to inform them If the place was far away then I sent a Bedouin who is employed by the municipality to tell them The aim was to locate as quickly as possible those they had been in contact with and met and get everybody into isolation and also to provide social support for those who had nowhere to isolate." "I am an Orthodox woman but coronavirus is a 24/7 story I think that out of the chaos we have taken overall control and can take some satisfaction And we have to stress that we have a community that pays attention to instructions They didn't have to and the achievement is of the city's rabbi who decided not to listen to the national rabbinical leadership and heed what his heart was telling him." * Closing an entire school after the diagnosis of just one Covid-19 case * Closing synagogues and setting up outside prayer areas * Setting up a municipal system for stopping the spread of the virus Published by Globes, Israel business news - en.globes.co.il - on October 4 When Shimrit Levy, 41, was a young girl, she would travel from Arad with her family to spend Shabbat with her grandparents in Yeruham. “Yeruham felt like little India to me,” she recalled. Her grandparents were part of the Bene Israel community, many of whom began making aliyah from western India soon after the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.“Yeruham felt like little India to me.” Though there was no real theatrical background in his family he recalls with amusement his mother playing the lead in one of the Jewish theatre productions but his father was also “a very funny man” who held court with his stories and jokes But when Yeroham announced he wanted to be a professional actor Instead he studied business management in Istanbul for a year but then went to Israel to work on a kibbutz for six months he wondered if he could make it as an actor in the Jewish state We did go to Israel with our Jewish community theatre for two consecutive summers to perform for the Turkish community and was accepted at Guildford to do an acting degree but on graduating like most actors realised he could not rely on stage or TV work and is well known for his radio and voiceovers He is hugely amused by his mother’s reaction to one of his jobs – the Turkish-language flight announcements on easyJet she got off the plane and started giving me notes – ‘you said that too fast Yeroham played someone Jewish for the first time in Jonathan Freedland’s Royal Court production Jews gentle – and also very creative,” is how Freedland describes the actor who wanting to leave stereotype villains behind told his agent he would love to do comedy Yeroham had not seen Fawlty Towers when he auditioned for the part of Manuel and only watched the box set – a gift from his boyfriend – once he got the part “It’s so nice to finally play someone lovely,” the new Manuel says but was happy to learn what a kind and gentle man he had been was forever being physically berated by an incandescent Basil and Sachs was apparently bruised and beaten as some of the stunts went wrong “I feel very safe – we haven’t done much of that in rehearsals yet John Cleese has done a brilliant job combining three of the TV episodes and has written a new finale.” Yeroham will sprinkle a bit of Spanish into his part and reveals that his parents spoke Ladino (the Sephardi equivalent of Yiddish) at home when they didn’t want Yeroham or his younger sister to know what they were discussing The actor has triple nationality – Turkish acquiring the latter after Brexit when Spain and Portugal were offering citizenship to Sephardi Jews whose descendants were expelled in 1492 But it is Italian the actor is learning outside of work when he also hosts friends for in-depth wining and dining “That gives me the sense of community that I love” says the actor who recognises much of himself in Manuel: “He’s a people-pleaser,” he says Fawlty Towers opens at the Apollo Theatre on 4 May.

mosque won’t have a problem destroying my children’s home.’ Israeli Police officers accompanied by bulldozers destroyed a mosque Wednesday morning in the unrecognized Bedouin village of Rakhamah in the Negev Desert Salima Azazma, one of the residents of the village, told +972’s Hebrew sister site, Local Call that “It is infuriating to see a mosque be destroyed Those who destroy a mosque won’t have a problem destroying my children’s home.” “I am sure that these kinds of things happening in unrecognized villages will turn their residents into big supporters of Israel,” Azazma added sarcastically located near the development town of Yeruham Some of them have lived on the land for generation while others were moved there by the state in 1956 The village has no educational or health facilities The residents of the village get their water from the main pipeline that connects the development towns of Yeruham and Dimona While demolitions in unrecognized villages have become commonplace over the past few years, a recent report by the Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality revealed that 78 percent of demolitions in the Negev are actually carried out by the homeowners themselves The report shows how the authorities invest resources and put immense pressure in order to increase the number of self-demolitions Over the past decade, the Israeli government has recognized 13 previously-unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev. However, despite the change in policy, not much has changed much on the ground in the vast majority of these villages still lack infrastructure; the services are poor and inadequate for the large number of residents; and the policy of house demolitions as well preventing Bedouin from receiving building permits continue Michal Rotem works for the Negev Forum for Coexistence and is based in Be’er Sheva.

Seawater temperature and urchin survivorship in the field Temperature (°C) and sea urchin average ± SE percent survival rate (N = 10 5 urchins per repeat) during 2011 (upper chart) and 2012 (bottom chart) *The Survivorship increase in 2011 is due to restocking To test this hypothesis we conducted a series of field and lab experiments Due to the present-day extreme rarity of the species in nature on the Israeli coast the individuals used in our experiments were brought from the National Center of Mariculture (NCM) where they are reproduced from a Mediterranean original broodstock out of a 3-year old batch The source of this broodstock was sea urchins collected from Mikhmoret (central Israel coast; the study site of this research) Reared urchins were exposed throughout their lifetime at NCM to water temperatures that varied between 21 °C in the winter to 29 °C in the summer the urchins underwent an acclimation to ambient Mediterranean Sea water for 2–4 months in an open water system on the Mediterranean coast The field and laboratory experiments were approved by Israel’s nature and parks authorities The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed Findings from both the field and laboratory experiments revealed a strong relationship between elevated water temperature during the summer months and P. lividus mortality. In both years, survival rate in the field cages decreased with the seasonal SST rise during the summer (Fig. 1 maximum temperature 30.5 °C in 2011 and 31.11 °C in 2012) and stopped almost entirely when SST dropped during the autumn (seen in the 1st experimental period only) survival rate was reduced to 50% by the end of August 2011 the survival rate reduced to 78% by the end of July 2012 (after temperature crossed the 30.5 °C threshold and just before the termination of the experiment—prior to peak summer water temperatures) Effects of seawater temperature on urchin survivorship in the lab Ambient water temperature (thick brown line) and sea urchin average ± SE percent survival rate (among five aquaria of 18 individuals per treatment) during the experiment (summer 2012) in the three treatments: AMBIENT – 2 °C (blue line) AMBIENT (green line) and AMBIENT + 2 °C (red line) temperature may be the proximal cause while competitive exclusion might play some role in the population collapse on the long-term; however further work is required in order to determine its scope Our results therefore provide strong evidence that the current SST temperature during the summer months is above the thermo-tolerance range of this species and may have greatly contributed to the species near-extirpation in the region but infection was also associated with unusually low wave height and as a result the mortality was limited to the intertidal populations and to that specific extreme event Although we did not observe any external morbidity symptoms failure to hold spines erect and spine loss in the present work we cannot rule out the possibility that temperature-induced disease may be the mechanism behind the discussed P Deciphering this will require further study One may argue that the origin of the sea urchins (lab reared specimens) may affect their survival in the experimental setup during abrupt temperature rises due to the long-term rearing in relatively stable temperature conditions (with highest temperature of 29 °C) it may be similarly argued that the temperature range of the reared urchins served as a reliable simulation of the historical conditions experienced by the natural populations of P lividus in the eastern Mediterranean in the past prior to the latest temperature increase during the last decades where it reached the lethal threshold of 30.5 °C in mid-summer which probably followed the decline observed along the Israeli coastline is part of an expanding contraction of the urchins’ distribution from the hottest regions of the Mediterranean as a result of recent seawater temperature rise We therefore predict that populations decline might soon occur farther northwest as the sea warms up in those areas as well Collapse of the echinoid Paracentrotus lividus populations in the Eastern Mediterranean -
