The Rita Levi-Montalcini Prize Celebrates Scientific Cooperation Between Italy and Israel

By Pagine Ebraiche Staff

The project “Advanced Novel Analytical Methods for Faster Forensic and Medical Analysis”, presented by the Chemistry Department of the Università degli Studi di Milano under the supervision of professor Luigi Falciola, in cooperation with professor Ovadia Lev of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) won the third edition of the Rita Levi Montalcini Prize.

The Prize is awarded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with the Conference of Italian University Rectors and the Ministry of Education in the field of scientific cooperation between Italy and Israel.
The awarding ceremony took place last week in Rome.
“Between Italy and Israel there is a special relationship to which scientific cooperation is at the core. This is a concept that I would like to highlight: the bridges that are created between societies in the field of research are the ones that last forever,” commented undersecretary for foreign affairs Manlio Di Stefano.

Durch Radahren träumt Israel noch immer

Adam Smulevich

"Jeder hat in seinen Augen den Giro, eine große Feier, die der Vorgeschmack von einem großen Rennen war. Es ist eine Erfahrung, die aus offensichtlichen Gründen nicht wiederholt werden kann. Dies schließt aber nicht aus, dass andere Projekte zum Tragen kommen können, wenn Israel den Willen hat, sie zu realisieren. Die Voraussetzungen dafür sind gegeben. Wenn nötig, muss man sich an einen Tisch setzen und darüber reden. Man muss das Eisen schmieden, solange es heiß ist".
So vertraute Paolo Bellino sich, General Manager von Rcs Sport, den Pagine Ebraiche beim kürzlich abgeschlossenen Giro d'Italia an. Eine spannende Veranstaltung aus vielen Gründen. Erstens, die Abreise aus Israel, für drei Tage auf den Pedalen, die im Gedächtnis von Radfahrern und Kennern unvergesslich bleiben.

Presque quatre cent mil post ouvertement antisémites en un an. On sait bien que le web est un lieu de défoulement où on peut lire des choses horribles écrites par une certaine partie technologisé de la population. Mais le web n’est qu’un véhicule. Il peut être utilisé différemment, d’une façon positive ou negative, mais il reste un véhicule. Par consé-quent, on ne peut pas mesurer les tendances de croissance et décroissance des phé-nomènes sociaux (dans ce cas là de l’antisémitisme, mais non seulement) sur la base d’une analyse de ce véhicule, en lui attribuant de cette façon un caractère concret qu’en réalité il n’a pas.

Power

Free will is the only power that humankind possesses. Thanks to Oscar Sebastian Lelo, who, with “Disobedience,” tells us that we can choose, in a time where affiliation to a group is back to be lived and proposed as a destiny.

Sir Moses Montefiore: A Brief History

By Menachem Levine*

A world-famous personality, Sir Moses Montefiore was highly respected both in his native England and abroad. Until today, his name continues to be mentioned among his people with admiration and love. For the Jews of the 19th Century, he was known simply as “The Protector.”
Sir Moses Montefiore, was born on the October 24, 1784 in the Italian city of Livorno (Leghorn). His grandfather and namesake, Moses Chaim Montefiore was a Sephardic Jew from that city, who later settled in London. On his mother’s side, Sir Moses traced his lineage back to Jews exiled by the Spanish Expulsion.
Young Moses became a member of the London Stock Exchange at a time when there were only 12 licensed Jewish brokers in all of England. In a matter of a few years, he amassed great wealth and became a member of the London Aristocracy. In 1812, he married his wife Judith Barent Cohen. Her sister was married to Reb Nathan Meyer Rothschild, known as one of the wealthiest people in the world at the time. Sir Moses eventually became the stockbroker for his brother-in-law. As a result of this successful partnership, they both amassed a tremendous fortune.
He was always an observant Jew, yet as the years passed, Moses and Judith grew together in their passion and devotion to Judaism. In 1827, he and Judith embarked on a long and arduous trip to Palestine, which was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time.
That trip changed him forever.
