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.

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.

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.

These events have catalyzed a vibrant protest

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.
