World ORT, ORT Israel can share ORT name, Israeli high court rules

World ORT and ORT Israel both can use the ORT name for fundraising purposes, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled. A three-judge high court panel decided Monday that the two Jewish vocational school systems can use the name in Israel and abroad. Its ruling settles a long-standing dispute between the systems that featured years of appeals.

$50 million initiative aiming to better poor Israeli schools

The Israel Sci-Tech Schools Network and Israel’s Education Ministry have launched a $50 million campaign to improve 50 schools on Israel’s periphery. The Sci-Tech Network, formerly known as ORT Israel, includes more than 180 schools that focus on technological training and high-tech curricula. The Education Ministry will match dollar for dollar up to $25 million to bring 50 schools in Israel’s poorest regions into the network, the group announced Tuesday night at a dinner honoring philanthropist Edith Everett. The schools will be equipped with new curricula, tools, infrastructures and technologies to provide students living in these economically lagging areas with marketable science and technology backgrounds and credentials critical to their own futures and that of Israel.
