Featuring
                     P eter Beinart	
                     A great friend of the New Israel Fund, prominent journalist and
                     author Peter Beinart is one of the most vibrant new voices on
                     engagement with Israel. Beinart’s groundbreaking essay about
                     the American Jewish relationship to Israel, “The Failure of the
                     American Jewish Establishment,” became last year’s Jewish story
                     of the year. A Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America
                     Foundation and Associate Professor of Journalism and Political
                     Science at The City University of New York, Beinart is also Senior
                     Political Writer for The Daily Beast, and a contributor to Time.

                     Beinart formerly served as editor of The New Republic and has
                     also written for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The
                     Financial Times, the Boston Globe, the Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek and
                     Slate—to name a few. He has appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,”
                     ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” “Charlie Rose,”
                     “The McLaughlin Group,” “The Colbert Report,” MTV, CNN,
                     Fox, MSNBC and many other television and radio programs.

                     Beinart graduated from Yale University in 1993, winning a Rhodes
                     scholarship for graduate study at Oxford University where he
                     graduated from University College with an M.Phil in International
                     Relations. He lives with his wife and children in New York City.

Honoring
  R abbi A my E ilberg &
  P rofessor L ouis Newman	
  Recipients of the Guardian of Democracy Award

  Two truly significant figures in the American Jewish community,
  Rabbi Amy Eilberg and Professor Louis Newman have
  proudly supported and advocated for NIF since 1984. Amy has
  been a pioneer in countless ways: as the first woman rabbi ordained
  in the Conservative Movement, as co-founder of the Bay Area
  Jewish Healing Center, as a leader in Jewish hospice work and
  spiritual direction, and as a bridge-builder—between Israelis and
  Palestinians; between Jews, Christians and Muslims; and among
  Jews across the ideological spectrum. She is at work on a book on
  Judaism and peacemaking.

  Louis is among the country’s leading scholars of Jewish ethics and
  a celebrated professor at Carleton College, where he has taught
  for nearly three decades. He is author of numerous publications,
  including his most recent Repentance: the Meaning and Practice
  of Teshuvah. Louis is also a devoted community leader, serving
  as president of both the St. Paul Talmud Torah and Beth Jacob
  Congregation, his synagogue in Saint Paul. Louis is also a longtime
  member of NIF’s International Council. Amy and Louis live in
  Minnesota, but maintain a deep connection to the Bay Area, where
  Amy has many colleagues, friends and her daughter, Penina.

                                                        The majority of Israel’s Bedouin citizens live
                                                        below the poverty line and in unrecognized
                                                        villages, where they have little political clout, few
employment opportunities, sub-standard healthcare and education, and often no electricity, running
water, or sewage systems. Desert Embroidery is one of several initiatives that help Bedouin women
contribute to their own and their families’ livelihoods. Through empowerment, advocacy, education,
and leadership training projects, the New Israel Fund and its action arm, Shatil, are helping
thousands of Israel’s Bedouin citizens achieve lives of dignity.

Friday hundreds—and sometimes thousands—of
activists from all over Israel congregate in the small

have been continuous and severe, including the arrests
of more than a hundred people; yet the demonstrations
have only increased in numbers and influence.


                     Susie Coliver and Sandy Coliver established the Fund in 2002 to recognize and remember their
                     mother Edith Coliver’s tremendous contribution to the cause of human and civil rights. Always
                     with an open heart and an open mind, Edith brought great thoughtfulness and genuine compassion
                     to her activism on behalf of a just and tolerant Israeli society. Her service on the International
                     and Regional Boards of NIF was emblematic of her lifelong commitment to human rights and
                     democratic values.

  • 4. Featuring P eter Beinart A great friend of the New Israel Fund, prominent journalist and author Peter Beinart is one of the most vibrant new voices on engagement with Israel. Beinart’s groundbreaking essay about the American Jewish relationship to Israel, “The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment,” became last year’s Jewish story of the year. A Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation and Associate Professor of Journalism and Political Science at The City University of New York, Beinart is also Senior Political Writer for The Daily Beast, and a contributor to Time. Beinart formerly served as editor of The New Republic and has also written for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, the Boston Globe, the Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek and Slate—to name a few. He has appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” “Charlie Rose,” “The McLaughlin Group,” “The Colbert Report,” MTV, CNN, Fox, MSNBC and many other television and radio programs. Beinart graduated from Yale University in 1993, winning a Rhodes scholarship for graduate study at Oxford University where he graduated from University College with an M.Phil in International Relations. He lives with his wife and children in New York City. 4 New Israel Fund | Guardian of Democracy Dinner
  • 5. Honoring R abbi A my E ilberg & P rofessor L ouis Newman Recipients of the Guardian of Democracy Award Two truly significant figures in the American Jewish community, Rabbi Amy Eilberg and Professor Louis Newman have proudly supported and advocated for NIF since 1984. Amy has been a pioneer in countless ways: as the first woman rabbi ordained in the Conservative Movement, as co-founder of the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center, as a leader in Jewish hospice work and spiritual direction, and as a bridge-builder—between Israelis and Palestinians; between Jews, Christians and Muslims; and among Jews across the ideological spectrum. She is at work on a book on Judaism and peacemaking. Louis is among the country’s leading scholars of Jewish ethics and a celebrated professor at Carleton College, where he has taught for nearly three decades. He is author of numerous publications, including his most recent Repentance: the Meaning and Practice of Teshuvah. Louis is also a devoted community leader, serving as president of both the St. Paul Talmud Torah and Beth Jacob Congregation, his synagogue in Saint Paul. Louis is also a longtime member of NIF’s International Council. Amy and Louis live in Minnesota, but maintain a deep connection to the Bay Area, where Amy has many colleagues, friends and her daughter, Penina. New Israel Fund | Guardian of Democracy Dinner 5
  • 6. Thank You Dinner Chairs Rabbi Elliot Dorff , Lee Labé Pollak, Diane Jordan Wexler Dinner Committee Steve Abel, Ellen Bob & David Waksberg, Candice Gold, Daniel Langenthal, Riv-Ellen Prell & Steven Foldes, Carol & Terry Winograd New Generations Host Committee Michael Amerikaner, Jason Bernstein, Rebekah Bob-Waksberg, Rabbi Jill Cozen-Harel, Alexander Germanacos, Lindsay Kauffman, Marnie Krell, Amiee Kushner, Sarah Lesser, Rachael Levy, Dyanna Loeb, Sam Ruben, Naomi Shiffman Special Thanks Candice Gold graciously sponsored the gifts you will take home tonight. These are bookmarks hand embroidered by the women of Desert Embroidery, an initiative developed by NIF grantee Lakia: Association for the Improvement of the Status of Women. The majority of Israel’s Bedouin citizens live below the poverty line and in unrecognized villages, where they have little political clout, few employment opportunities, sub-standard healthcare and education, and often no electricity, running water, or sewage systems. Desert Embroidery is one of several initiatives that help Bedouin women contribute to their own and their families’ livelihoods. Through empowerment, advocacy, education, and leadership training projects, the New Israel Fund and its action arm, Shatil, are helping thousands of Israel’s Bedouin citizens achieve lives of dignity. 6 New Israel Fund | Guardian of Democracy Dinner

These events have catalyzed a vibrant protest movement. Led by young, Jewish Israelis who want to live in a society that respects human rights, each Friday hundreds—and sometimes thousands—of activists from all over Israel congregate in the small neighborhood, standing shoulder to shoulder with local Arab residents. Attempts to suppress the protest have been continuous and severe, including the arrests of more than a hundred people; yet the demonstrations have only increased in numbers and influence. Susie Coliver and Sandy Coliver established the Fund in 2002 to recognize and remember their mother Edith Coliver’s tremendous contribution to the cause of human and civil rights. Always with an open heart and an open mind, Edith brought great thoughtfulness and genuine compassion to her activism on behalf of a just and tolerant Israeli society. Her service on the International and Regional Boards of NIF was emblematic of her lifelong commitment to human rights and democratic values. 10 New Israel Fund | Guardian of Democracy Dinner
