15 teens with IQs of 155 or higher to be trained by top scientists in effort to groom new generation of leaders in scientific research. Fifteen high school students are currently undergoing strict training in a program designed to groom Israel’s first “team of geniuses”.
The tenth and eleventh graders were chosen by the Education Ministry to participate in the program, in which a highly respected scientist personally trains each of them to become future leaders in many of the scientific fields. Each member of the team possesses an IQ of 155 or higher, and the ministry hopes they will go on to become Nobel Prize laureates.
Israeli schools of all grades are currently said to contain around 12,000 students described by the Education Ministry as “gifted”, and around 10-15 in every graduating class are thought to possess an IQ higher than 155. The program is aimed at guaranteeing that their mental prowess be properly developed. The program was designed by the president of the Weizmann Institute, Daniel Zajfman. In order to find the students suitable for it, teachers were asked to recommend pupils they thought performed extraordinarily in class. The selected students are assigned a world-renowned scientist who commits to training them, and arrive for training at the institute in which he or she is employed for one day every two weeks. The scientists involve the teens in their work and train them in their field. Three times a year, the team is brought together for a cooperative session. Shlomit Rachmel, who heads the Education Ministry’s Department for Gifted Children, says the trainers were chosen discriminatingly. “These are researchers located at the forefront of science and are good role models for the students,” she said.
Ehud Duchovny of the Weizmann Institute is currently training an eleventh grader in Particle Physics, and helping him to achieve a degree in Mathematics.
“This is a very ambitious student with a high potential,” Duchovny says. He plans to incorporate the teen in his work on the largest particle accelerator in the world, located near Geneva. Last year, it hosted an international experiment on the Big Bang.
“The student will actively take part in an experiment I am conducting,” Duchovny says. “It even stands to reason that he will travel with me to Geneva to present the outcomes of the experiment. He is very excited.”
It’s really not bad that despite british and american singers predominance on the world music scene, some French artists still achieve international fame. One of these is Patricia Kaas. Over the last few years, each of her new albums and tours has been hailed as a major event.
The Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre is the most important dance establishment in Israel, offering a wide selection of events and festivities all year round.

There is a delightful entrance square dotted with citrus trees, and a lovely Italian restaurant called Bellini, ((03)5178486). You can enjoy a drink and sandwich here before or after the performance, or instead drop by for a full meal, the food isn’t really exceptional but the atmosphere is wonderful.

Your eyes, sister
Say all that my heart desires
So far, we’ve gone
A long way, a very difficult way, hand in hand
And the tears fall, pour in vain
A pain with no name
We wait
Only for the next day to come
There must be another way
There must be another way
Your eyes say
A day will come and all fear will disappear
In your eyes a determination
That there is a possibility
To carry on the way
As long as it may take
For there is no single address for sorrow
I call out to the plains
To the stubborn heavens
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way
We will go a long way
A very difficult way
Together to the light
Your eyes say
All fear will disappear
And when I cry, I cry for both of us
My pain has no name
And when I cry, I cry
To the merciless sky and say
There must be another way
And the tears fall, pour in vain
A pain with no name
We wait
Only for the day to come
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way

Spring is the loveliest season of the year. Here, in Israel this is the time of impressive lineup of holydays including Passover, Easter and Israel’s Independence Day. Besides that we celebrate 100 anniversary of Tel Aviv this year. The profuse sunshine and worm weather, along with the festive mood surrounding the season, all make it clear as day, spring is here. No doubt this is the time for travel, wonderful trips and adventure tours as well.
Israelis celebrate Independence Day with parade and grandiose air show. When I have been watched yesterday how skydiver flied like a birds over a crowd of spectators in Tel Aviv I thought that it’s really not bad idea to fly to the Edge of space in some of such super machines as legendary Israeli F 15 or Russian MiG-31 Foxhound. Definitely anything you can imagine is real and if you seek to spend your holiday not only eating and sleeping well but enjoying an adventure tour like no other you get it!
We wish you a happy holyday season and a sunshine filled spring!
