It s impossible to agree to this solution, just like if we would have criticism of the Supreme Court and its decisions, we would not agree that everyone could establish his own court or Supreme Court, said Ben-Dahan. We returned to the Land of Israel in order to establish a single sovereign entity. Bennett, however, took a more supportive stance for Giur K halacha Monday night, saying while he would prefer for conversion and all other religious services to be provided by the Chief Rabbinate, unfortunately, the rabbinate is not working properly and therefore alternative bodies for conversion have been set up. Rabbi Haim Druckman, one of the most senior national-religious rabbinical figures who is close to both Ben-Dahan and Bennett, also disavowed the Giur K halacha initiative. Conversion must be within the framework of the Chief Rabbinate, the rabbi told Arutz Sheva. I am totally opposed to alternative conversion, even if it is in accordance with Jewish law, because all such alternatives harm organized Torah life in the State of Israel. Along with Druckman, several other senior national- religious rabbis in the conservative wing of the community criticized the new courts, saying they constituted an injury to the authority and legitimacy of the Chief Rabbinate.Rabbis Dov Lior, Tzvi Tau and Haim Shteiner issued a statement saying that we have in our generation merited the establishment of the State of Israel. At the center of its Jewish identity stands the Chief Rabbinate, which was established by Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook. Private conversions constitute a severe injury to the statist approach and undermine the foundations of our country as a Jewish state. In response to the criticism, Rabinowitz issued a statement saying that the alternative would be a severe split within the Jewish people. It s important to underline that a failure to deal with the issue will not eliminate the problem, but rather would see the destruction of the wholeness and holiness of the Jewish people, said the rabbi. He emphasized that the new rabbinical conversion courts are operating 100 percent in accordance with Jewish law. The criticism from Druckman, Lior and others represents a serious rift in the ranks of the national-religious rabbinical leadership for whom the issue of conversion has become one of the most pressing concerns of current times.Rabinowitz is recognized as a highly authoritative arbiter of Jewish law, as are other participating rabbis in Giur K halacha, including rabbis Yaakov Medan and Re em Hacohen. These figures, along with rabbis David Stav and Shlomo Riskin, see the threat of intermarriage as so worrying that they are willing to split from the long-term statist approach of the national-religious leadership toward religion in Israel.Druckman and others from the more conservative national-religious community are still very much wedded to the idea of having one central authority in the form of the Chief Rabbinate, established by the forefather of religious Zionism, Kook.Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman who has long pushed for conversion reform also expressed support for the Giur K halacha movement. He said, however that converts through the new system would still require recognition by the state as legitimate converts, which the Chief Rabbinate is likely to withhold. Therefore the only solution is for the prime minister to retract his shameful subjugation to the haredi political parties and for the government to restore the conversion law that we passed in the last government, said Liberman.A government resolution was approved by the last government to liberalize and increase access to the state conversion system, but the reform never saw fruition as the Chief Rabbinate and other elements stymied its implementation until the current w <a href=http://www.glassesoakley.us.com/>oakley sunglasses</a>

the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They

can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated

part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often

common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile

Ongoing Janastu activities that are of potential interest to DEV'13

This page is an elaboration of the poster at http://janastu.org/dev2013.pdf

Alipi

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson. 

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts.

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.

Follow Sheep

Find a good shepherd. Follow the black Sheep.

Follow the Sheep project involves following shepherds and their (mostly black) sheep, in the Deccan areas of Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Shepherds are non-literate in general. And the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body.
