Israel: So much more than a site of conflict

Israeli visitor to Cape Town, Gusti Yehoshua-Braverman, stresses that Israel must communicate far more about the country as being a treasure trove of new developments and innovative thinking – and not just perpetuate the media image of the country as the location of ongoing conflict with the Palestinians. As Head of the Department of Irgoon and Israelis Abroad for the World Zionist Organisation, she was here for the iVision Innovation Conference organised by the SA Zionist Federation (Cape Council).

“Israel stands out as a country known for innovation,” Gusti explained. “It’s part of the history of the Jewish people. After all, Herzl’s vision of creating a state for the Jewish people successfully moved from a dream to a reality. Bringing together people from 30 different countries, from 30 different cultures, with numerous languages, and moulding them into a new nation took a great deal of innovation.”

And an understanding of the importance of innovation has driven the State of Israel to focus on the concept in very real ways. Eliezer (Moodi) Sandberg, the keynote speaker at the iVision Innovation Conference, an entrepreneur and former Minister in the Israeli Government, highlighted that Israel’s investment in research and development is much higher than in other countries. And there is a notable focus on science in higher education in the country – and this has resulted in the country producing eight Nobel Laureates in the field of science, a number way out of proportion to the size of the population of the country.  

The focus on science education is clear in the numerous educational facilities established in the country with a focus on science: the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Haifa Technion, and the many scientific research bodies within the military.

Today, Israel is particularly successful in the field of tech innovation – and it’s staggering to consider how many of the most significant tech developments stem from the country. From the RSA Protocol, which allows one machine to talk to another one; to the M-Systems DiskonKey (the USB stick); to the Intel Mobile Processor – core in the development of the laptop; to VoIP; to 3D printing – the list is endless.

Over and above the innovations in the computer field, tech innovation in medicine has been a significant feature, too. And the Waze driving app was developed by an Israeli, too.

Spurred on by its belief in Tikkun Olam (‘Heal the World’), the country is keen to share its innovations with other states. This is noticeable in the export of agricultural technology, such as the concept of drip irrigation, which was also invented in Israel, and in innovations relating to the use of water resources. And the country has so much more to offer the world!

Cape Town entrepreneurs, Leora Hessen, and Mark Levitt, participated in a panel discussion at the conference. The most important message from both of them is that Artificial Intelligence, the metaverse, blockchain technology and other features of the world of tech are where the future lies.

New leadership at the United Jewish Campaign 

Helen Schneider

Being the main fundraising body for Cape Town’s Jewish community, the United Jewish Campaign is responsible for providing financial support to 35 beneficiary organisations within the community. These organisations offer services and support to the Jewish community in numerous different ways: from welfare to cultural activities to education, among others. 

Considering the significance of its role and the size of its operations, heading the organisation requires a person with significant skill and experience. And that’s exactly what has led to the appointment of Helen Schneider as the UJC’s new Executive Director. The first woman to hold this position, Helen takes over from Barry Levitt, who recently retired after many successful years. With Barry’s wealth of experience, he will remain as part of the UJC team in the capacity of Senior Fundraiser.

In addition to holding an MBA from the University of Stellenbosch Business School, Helen climbed the corporate ladder to high levels prior to moving to the UJC in 2021. She worked in the retail sector for 20 years, gaining experience in operations and project management positions, and then spent a number of years with a leading multinational cosmetic company, as Commercial Director. The project management experience, together with her background in marketing and sales, has already served her well at the UJC. 

While moving from a corporate environment in the commercial sector to the non-profit sector may be a big change, Helen is enthusiastic about her role. She explains that,”I took a bold step to embark on a fresh career journey and discovered a sense of purpose at the heart of an incredible community.”

When Helen first joined the UJC, she did not anticipate the extent of the complexity of the community. As she enthuses, “I’m thrilled to be within such a dynamic community, and to learn from the wisdom and expertise of our lay leaders.”

She is similarly appreciative of the impact of the Chair of the UJC, Lance Katz, whom she sees as a significant enabler of change and
is clear in his vision of empowering the people within the organisation.

Having worked closely with Barry and all the UJC stakeholders for the past 2 years, Helen is well-versed in what her role entails, and
she is confident about the future of the UJC. 

We wish her every success in the role!

A month to Empower, Engage, and Educate  

Entrepreneurs’ Network Event

By JOSH FRIEDMAN, Programme and Development Manager, Cape SAJBD

August proved to be a month of vibrant activity for the Cape South African Jewish Board of Deputies (Cape SAJBD) as we continue our mission to Engage, Empower and Educate. The Cape SAJBD continues to play a pivotal role in safeguarding the interests of Cape Town’s diverse and vibrant Jewish community.

Empower

On August 30th, the Cape SAJBD, in collaboration with ORT Jet Cape Town, Over the Rainbow, and EO, successfully hosted another Entrepreneurs’ Network (EN) event at Deloitte. This event provided a valuable platform for entrepreneurs to connect with prominent business leaders, fostering networking opportunities and knowledge sharing.

The Cape Board was well-represented at this event, with notable individual Dawn Nathan-Jones spearheading the event, and Cape Board members Glen Heneck, Tzvi Brivik, and Rael Kaimowitz participating as Business Leaders supported by David King, Justin Asher, Lynton Cassel and Joshua Friedman. The event, energetically facilitated by expert Consultant and Facilitator, Dillon Jearey, featured rotating sessions, allowing the cohort of entrepreneurs to interact with industry leaders. 

Industry leaders represented diverse sectors such as Tech CEOs, Retail CEOs, Business Strategy Consultants, Business Owners, Legal Practitioners, and Consultants. Their presence enriched the event by providing valuable advice and insights, empowering the cohort of entrepreneurs. Glen Heneck, Deputy Chair of the Cape SAJBD and Director at the Melbro Group, described this event and EN as “a powerful antidote to ‘Safropessimism’. A wonder institution in the making”. The entrepreneurs were equally appreciative with many accolades flowing in: “It’s such a privilege and opportunity to be exposed to so many entrepreneurs and industry experts.” “Really empowering and insightful.” “I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful event yesterday. Thank you so much, it was very inspiring, informative and relevant”. 

Entrepreneurs’ Network Event

Engage

On 20th August, the Cape SAJBD took part in the highly anticipated annual Limmud conference hosted at the Gardens Community Centre. Their session, aptly titled “Around the Boardroom Table and Beyond”, proved to be an interactive and immersive experience. The event featured group case studies and a panel discussion facilitated by the Cape Board’s Executive Director, Daniel Bloch.

The central theme of this session was the impact of recent troubling events on the local Jewish community. Since March, the Cape SAJBD, along with various communal institutions, has been confronted with an increase in anti-Israel and antisemitic incidents. These challenges ranged from protests outside the Gardens Community Centre to calls for the de-registration of a Jewish day school.

During the session, attendees were divided into groups and presented with case studies, each representing an incident within the community. Each group was tasked with deliberating on how best to respond to these incidents as if they were part of the Board Council. The discussions were not only enlightening but also served as a platform for sharing perspectives and strategies.

The feedback from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with a community member expressing gratitude for the insight into the complexities of leading a community. The Cape SAJBD emphasised that arriving at the right solution is often a nuanced process, requiring careful deliberation to ensure the correct decision is made.

Limmud Conference

Educate

On 28th August, the Cape Board collaborated with Herzlia Weizmann Primary to host a special book session titled “Goodnight Golda.” This event, tailored for Grade 6 pupils, featured the book’s author, Batyah Bricker from Johannesburg. “Goodnight Golda” is a book that celebrates exemplary Jewish women leaders from around the world, aiming to educate and inspire young minds while highlighting the remarkable contributions of Jewish women to society.

A fresh start

By Daniel Bloch, Executive Director, Cape SAJBD

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are now behind us and hopefully we have all been inscribed in the Book of Life. For the past two Yom Tov editions, I have written about what I am thankful for and also asked the question: What will your New Year look like? We have so much to be thankful for and most likely each of our new years will be completely unique. However, what will be similar is that it will hopefully be a fresh start for everyone. An opportunity to hit the reset button and start afresh. Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply to bond payments, load shedding and school fees. Fortunately, there is quite a bit which is in our own hands and we can be the masters of our own destiny. 

What could this fresh start look like? Perhaps you will start spending more time with your family? Or devoting more time to your career? How about getting into shape for the summer season? (Once my wife sees this, I will have a problem. She will no doubt tell me to eat healthier and exercise more – which will mean a lot more hikes and walks with the dog! They say communal work is about sacrificing for the community – I will literally be giving up morning sleep-ins and late-night snacking. It will be worth it though!)

I think humanity has dropped a few places in the universal rankings – somewhere between animals and meteorites! I know this seems a rather harsh statement; however, after what we have seen happening abroad and at home with protests, kidnappings, killings and the general ill-treatment of human beings to one another, can you blame me for making that statement? There is so much hate in the world nowadays both online and in-person. However, there are more good people in the world than bad and we have to believe that everyone can change. 

As humans, we should all aspire to be better people. But what does a better person look like and how should this better person act? The website www.lifehack.org lists ten ways to become a better person. (I searched Google and there are tons of useful websites, however this one stood out above the rest.)

1. Be willing to change 

2. Stop making excuses 

3. Stop being angry 

4. Be a role model 

5. Forgive someone 

6. Listen to people 

7. Be honest 

8. Do something you don’t want to 

9. Surprise someone special 

10. Take good care of yourself.

This list is definitely something which we can all work towards with objectives that are highly achievable. 

I would juggle this list slightly. Taking good care of yourself should be top of the list – if you love yourself and you are comfortable in your own skin and you are happy with your life, then you are well placed to help those around you. Stop being angry – life is too short for ferribles. This is definitely something that I am always trying to work on and, whilst I do let small things get to me, for the most part, I am relatively calm. (I may have to rethink this as it’s the Rugby World Cup and the Springboks have a tough group to get through – and most of the time the referee is rubbish). 

We can all make a fresh start. It’s what you do and how you do it which will determine your success. Be good to yourself and be kind to others – unless the referee makes a shocking call, in which case feel free to shout at the TV!

Sukkat Shalom

By Adrienne Jacobson, Chairperson, Cape SAJBD  

As Chair of the Cape SAJBD, I thank the Israelites for living in huts during their 40 years of wandering through the desert and for giving us the festival of Sukkot. Not only because it is my personal favourite Chag (despite our sukkah taking off in the wind once and landing on Bakoven beach during the judging of the sukkah building competition – I would have won that hands down) but because it allows us to do the work of the Board in such a meaningful and connected way via our annual Sukkat Shalom, my favourite interfaith and intercommunity Board event. 

In keeping with the gathering together of the four species of plant – the lulav, etrog, hadass and arava – to symbolise different types of people in unity, we gather the leaders of different communities and faiths, politicians, consulates, and community leaders and host them in our sukkah. We come together to share a meal, to share stories, experiences, projects, hopes and dreams. We bring our communities closer and build bridges of opportunity and collaboration. 

We celebrate friendships and partner in projects geared to make the Western Cape a better place. 

We are also reminded that we don’t have to wonder alone in the desert when we can come together to achieve so much more. 

And here are a few other leadership lessons which we can learn from Sukkot: 

1. Commemorating a difficult journey to freedom is meaningful, and any worthwhile goal has discomfort and an encounter with the elements. Freedom is something we earn through perseverance and a difficult journey. 

2. Dwelling in a sukkah reminds us that life is fragile and that we should appreciate one another, and to look on others with a sense of rachamim, of empathy, tolerance and openness, focussing on the good and the potential that they can become rather than on the mistakes they make. 

3. Leaving behind material possessions and moving outdoors reminds us not to be attached to things but rather to people. True joy comes from those we are blessed to be with.

Through the lessons of Sukkot, as we gather together in a Sukkah of Peace, may we not only connect with our joy and happiness in coming together but also support one another in our purpose. May we connect with strength and unity together, and be a beacon of light, of protection and of abundance as we lead our communities.

Wishing everyone in our community a gathering together of special family, friends and visitors, in joy and happiness in a sukkah under the stars and African sky to share blessings and bounty.

The passing of a special human being

Reading the many tributes to the late Raymond Ackerman z’l that appeared almost immediately after his passing in early September, one is struck by the fondness with which he was remembered by people from all walks of life.  Whether a packer at one of the many Pick n Pay stores, a manager of one of the stores, a leading business figure, or even someone who knew of him and did not actually know him personally, it’s clear that Raymond was a giant among human beings. 

Noted for his humility and the deep respect he showed to all people, the examples he set for the rest of us are profound: from his approach to leadership in business, to the steadfast nature of his challenges to government in the pursuit of looking after the interests of the consumer, to the way he treated his fellow man. 

The way in which he grew the Pick n Pay brand has long been the focus of many an article, but for us it is Raymond Ackerman’s huge generosity as a philanthropist that we acknowledge.  Nearly every communal organisation within Cape Town’s Jewish community was a beneficiary of his largesse – the Cape Jewish Chronicle included – and this generosity continued over very long periods of time.  As outgoing Executive Director of the United Jewish Campaign, Barry Levitt, says: “Raymond supported the Campaign wholeheartedly for many, many years and the impact of his giving cannot be understated.”

Hazel Levin, Executive Director of Jewish Community Services Cape Town says:

“Raymond was a remarkable  philanthropist who was deeply committed to supporting the indigent and vulnerable members of Jewish Community Services Cape Town.  His unwavering dedication and integrity shone brightly, making him a beacon of hope for those in need.  He will be sorely missed by the JCS Chairman, Exco and staff, leaving behind a lasting legacy of generosity and unwavering commitment to JCS and all its recipients.”

The community’s deepest condolences go to his wife, Wendy; to his children, Gareth, Kathy, Suzanne and Jonathan; and to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as to the extended Pick n Pay family – in fact, to all who knew and loved him.

An example to all of us

Recently, a memory popped into my head that I thought I’d share with you.  I recalled my nephew, then aged 9 or 10, coming home and sharing his excitement after having gone off to watch a big international rugby match at the home of a new school friend. He mentioned the names of the others watching the game with him, saying, “Kyle was there, and Robbie, Jason, Raymond, and Chad.”

I recognised the names of most of the boys he mentioned but one didn’t ring a bell as being from his school class. “Who’s Raymond?” I asked. “Oh, he’s Robbie’s grandfather. He’s such a friendly man.”

I was shocked because I knew that the grandfather was Raymond Ackerman. How could my 10-year-old nephew call him by his first name? So, I told him that, if he were to see ‘Raymond’ again, he should call him ‘Mr Ackerman’.

I subsequently realised how wrong I was. Raymond Ackerman was a man without airs and graces, a special human being who saw everyone as his equal. And so, it would have been quite natural for him to have introduced himself to the children by his first name – and to be comfortable with them talking to him in an informal way, as if he were just another kid from school.

Since the passing of the late Raymond Ackerman a short while ago, I have heard and read so many positive comments about him. It’s clear that he truly was someone who had that unique knack of making everyone feel important and at ease in his presence, no matter their station in life.

Over and above Raymond’s tremendous philanthropy and his leadership in business was his strength as a human being. He epitomised the sort of person we should all strive to be. Thanks, Raymond, for the incredible example you have been to all of us.

While we, sadly, note the passing of a giant in our community, we also welcome new people to leadership roles. And so, in this issue, we announce the appointment of two new senior staff members: Helen Schneider, as Executive Director of the United Jewish Campaign, and Jakub (Kuba) Nowakowski, as the new Director of the Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre.

We also continue with our fairly new focus areas in law, medicine and health, entrepreneurial activities, and books. The Health Focus article this month is particularly interesting: it looks at the high incidence of genetic mutations within the Ashkenazi community, and preventative actions that can be taken.

See also the information about the Mensch Mitzvah Day – a wonderful initiative to get you involved in working to improve the lives of others.

Finally, if you know of something newsworthy within our community, please share the details with the Chronicle, so that we can help to communicate it to others.

Wishing you a good read!
