In an entertaining and informative talk about the seven years he worked as Abba Eban’s right hand man in the Ministry of Education, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mannie Shimoni gave a few examples of Eban’s wry sense of humor: “At the age of two years, I emigrated from South Africa because I couldn’t stand Apartheid!” he would comment when asked about his early childhood.

January 2009 - The Netanya Telfed function - First Inaugural Lecture with Prof Asher Susser was very well attended by over 100 people!  Ruth Omsky reports that the lecture was "brilliant" covering a wide range of issues under the title "Riots in Acre & Rockets from Gaza - Israel & the Palestinians'.   Prof Susser brought the lecture up to date to include Operation Cast Lead and gave the audience food for thought - in a very positive way. Most interesting was the comparison between his "files" of 1948 and 1967.
