Weekly Report September September 27th - October 2nd, 2009

It was a fairly quite week at the institute between Yom Kippur and Succot:
  • The MASA program with 10 students from overseas was in full swing with classes, hikes and student life activities.
  • As usual, our Jordanian students ran into trouble at the Israeli Embassy. After being told that their Visa's were ready and to be at the Embassy in Amman at 9:00 in the morning, they waited 5 hours and then walked away without a visa in hand. Judy Bar Lev is working diligently to rectify the situation. This is certainly not a way for Israel to make friends with its neighbor.
  • Rabbi Michael had a very successful meeting this week with the American Ambassador in Tel Aviv.
  • Most of the week was spent in meetings, preparing for the coming semester, the Food Conference in November, the Israel Ride in November, the Biogas Project and other events and activities at the Institute.
