This April, graduates of the MA in Sustainable Development and Nitsan Sustainable Development Lab got together on Tel Aviv University campus for the first official alumni meet-up—with more alumni tuning in from abroad—from Kenya, South Africa, India, France, and beyond.

A Network Rooted in Action

Now in its fifth cohort, the Sustainable Development program, run by TAU’s Faculty of Social Studies, is designed to educate professionals who understand the complexities of sustainable development, technology, socio-cultural issues, and policy, and who can translate their knowledge into real-world solutions. 

The Nitsan Lab plays a key role in this, placing students in field projects across Africa and Asia, where they work closely with governments, NGOs, and grassroots organizations on clean water, agriculture, and education projects.

The first meetup of Sustainable Development MA and Nitsan Sustainable Development Lab students and alumni.

In the front row: Ana Goldstein (the Student and Academic Coordinator of the MA program), Prof. Ram Fishman, Prof. Tammie Ronen, Ayelet Fishman (Administrative Director of the International Graduate School of Social Sciences), Amit Kalisker, program alum and current PhD student, and Nicole Kuttler.

Nitsan Lab’s Project Coordinator Nicole Kuttler noted opening the event that “this alumni network is not just growing in size—it’s growing in strength.” There are currently close to 300 program and lab alumni. Many of them are thriving in diverse international locations, including India, South Africa, Kenya, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina. They are successfully employed across various sectors—private industry, public service, NGOs, and academia. 

Words of Wisdom from Leaders and Mentors

Welcoming the participants, Prof. Guy Mundlak, who has recently became the Head of the School of Social and Policy Studies, was full of admiration:

“Your projects are exciting. I’m a real fan of the program, and it’s amazing to see what you’ve done over the years.”

Program Head, Prof. Tammie Ronen, encouraged students and graduates to think beyond traditional boundaries: “You have to take challenges—no matter your background—and turn them into new perspectives.”

Program Head, Prof. Tammie Ronen: “If you don’t have a dream, you can’t expect a dream to come true.”

Nitsan Lab Head,  Prof. Ram Fishman spoke about the joy of seeing alumni from all eight past cohorts gathered together. “It’s very moving,” he said, before jokingly apologizing for the tough academic journey. “But you made it through—and that’s what makes you such strong problem solvers.”

From TAU to the Global Stage

Keynote speaker Ayelet Levin-Karp shared her unconventional path—from biology to public policy, to working in Ghana with Israel’s Ministry of Economy, and now leading initiatives at SID Israel (Society for International Development).

Her advice to the next generation: “Find something meaningful, always stay interested and keep growing.”

Talking about the work of the Society for International Development (SID Israel), Levin-Karp highlighted the role of Israeli soft power in the global arena and the importance of local ownership in sustainable solutions—especially in post-USAID context, citing the example of Ghana where the government stepped in to finance the development programs.

“There are a lot of opportunities in the developing countries that can benefit from Israeli tech.”—Ayelet Levin-Karp, SID

Levin’s story wasn’t unique in the room. An alumni panel showcased other powerful trajectories.

Oren Kaplun, Nitsan Lab’19, CEO of ENVA Responsible Investments, credits the Sustainable Development MA with giving him the intercultural skills to launch a startup that’s now building sustainable finance solutions.

“Know what your passion is and where you want to end up. Build your reputation in an industry that is slow at the moment—it’s going to explode.”—Oren Kaplun, Nitsan Lab’19

Tal Kazaz, MA Class of 2020 and Director of Malawi Operations at Innovation Africa, leads a team delivering clean water to over 5 million people. “The MA program facilitated my entry into this new field,” he shared. 

“Know that things take time. Stay positive, always keep learning, and keep growing to stay at the cutting edge.”—Tal Kazaz, MA Class of 2020

Selda Edris (Nitsan Lab’19), Head of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene at IsraAid, has always dreamt of working in Africa. Initially interested in mechanical engineering, she switched to sustainability for her master’s, which then led to her current position.

“Every challenge is an opportunity to look at things from a different perspective.”—Selda Edris, Nitsan Lab’19

Yuval Barda (MA Class of 2020), former General Director at Project TEN and now with Engineers Without Borders, spoke of her hands-on research in Tanzania, which directly led to her first role. 

“Without fieldwork, without doing community-based research, I couldn’t say that I work in sustainable development. The program really contributed to my career.”—Yuval Barda, MA Class of 2020

Other alumni joined online from Kenya, South Africa, India, and France—including Shir Goldovsky, who is about to join the OECD as an environmental lobbyist. Many noted that their career paths started with a connection made during the program—whether through Nitsan Lab, a field partner, or a simple message on SID’s WhatsApp group.

Training Tomorrow’s Sustainability Leaders

The MA in Sustainable Development stands out not only with its global network, but also with the diversity of the student body: 25% of alumni are international students, and 38% come from minority communities. It welcomes students from a wide range of backgrounds, attracting engineers, architects, social scientists, public health professionals, and environmental activists—all united by a desire to drive meaningful change.

Prof. Ronen with MA and lab alums

Students take part in coursework that spans climate science, development economics, project design, and environmental law, and many pursue thesis or internship work in the field in Africa or Asia. Partners have included USAID, UNDP, Engineers Without Borders, SID Israel, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and a wide range of grassroots NGOs.

As Prof. Ronen summarized it: “You are doers. You take ideas and turn them into reality.”

Nitsan Sustainable Development Lab

The Bar Shira Hall was filled to capacity for the Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day ceremony, honoring Holocaust survivors and commemorating the victims, held on campus in the presence of a large audience, including students, administrative and academic staff, and other guests. The feeling this year is that, as Holocaust survivors live among us, with their grandchildren still held hostage in Gaza, it is crucial to tell and commemorate what happened to our brothers and sisters.

“one third of the Jewish people were exterminated by the machine of evil. They were murdered solely because they were Jews”.

Prof. Mark Steif, Rector of the University, called to continue and strengthen the State of Israel as a democracy and cultivate a cultural and inclusive society. “Since October 7, the Holocaust Memorial Day has taken on an additional dimension of pain, in the shadow of the war we have been in since that horrific day, during which Jews were slaughtered in a manner and scale not seen since the Holocaust. The call ‘Never Again’ reverberates as the foundation of our existence here, on this land, uniting us in a common fate that will never be erased. Here we stand, grieving, sad, yearning, but still upright and proud, continuing to say ‘Never Again'”.

“As we face the challenges lying ahead for the State of Israel, we must continue to build and establish a democratic society and a rich culture here. This is how we will ensure that here, in the thriving legacy in our ancestral land, the Jewish people will receive protection and security, and continue to grow, develop, and serve as a model for the nations of the world”.

Prof. Steif.

“And when I tell my father’s story in the first person, I feel close to him, and you, the audience, feel close to his story”.

Zikaron BaSalon Across the University

During the event, we were fortunate to hear the stories of four survivors, three of them from the perspective of their daughters and grandchildren, and one from the survivor himself.

Shirley Yechilevitz, a master’s student in the Conflict Management and Mediation program and an activist with the organization “Rememberance Ambassadors In First Person”, shared on behalf of herself and her sister Orly Avishar, head of the academic staff division at the university, a part of her father’s survival story, Meir Zaltzman z”l.

Shay Atos, Chair of the Student Union Governing Board, shared the story of his dear grandfather, Menachem Teitelbaum z”l.

Dudi Ronen, founder of the “First-Person Memory Ambassadors” organization, shared a part of his father Pinchas Ronen’s story.

Yitzhak Wolster, 94, a native of Hungary and a survivor of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, took the stage accompanied by his granddaughter, Noga Shahar, from the university’s spokesperson team.

Memory and Testaments in Danger

Prof. Chavi Dreyfus from the Department of Jewish History spoke about the struggle for Holocaust memory in the age of accelerated memory, and the importance of listening to the voices of the victims themselves—through their last wills, written moments before their death—as a way to preserve the humanity, complexity, and historical facts of the Holocaust, against the dangers of trivialization, distortion, and political use of its memory. Her words ranged from a chilling description of inscriptions left by Jews of the Kobyl community on the walls of the synagogue just before their destruction, to a deep exploration of memory, testimony, history, and ethics, with a clear call to preserve the research and moral responsibility for the story of the Holocaust.

Even during the Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day ceremony, it is important to remember and remind everyone that we are still yearning and waiting for the return of the hostages from Gaza. During the ceremony, the names of 59 hostages who have not yet returned home were read aloud.

The “First-Person” organization has trained around 800 First-Person Memory Ambassadors across the country, who tell the story of a Holocaust hero in the first person.

On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry and the Irwin Cotler Institute Democracy, Human Rights and Justice, both at Tel Aviv University, publishes the Annual Antisemitism Worldwide Report, which focuses on 2024. The 160-page report was prepared by 11 researchers. The annual study has been published for a quarter of a century and is considered the most cited and authoritative document of its kind.

Link to the full report

According to the report’s chief editor, Prof. Uriya Shavit: “Around the world, levels of antisemitism remain significantly higher compared to the period before October 7”.

He continues: However, contrary to popular belief, the report’s findings indicate that the wave of antisemitism did not steadily intensify due to the war in Gaza and the humanitarian disaster there. The peak was in October-December 2023, and a year later, a sharp decline in the number of incidents was noted almost everywhere. The sad truth is that antisemitism reared its head at the moment when the Jewish state appeared weaker than ever and under existential threat”.

Prof. Uriya Shavit.

Global Antisemitism Remains High, Even with a Small Drop in 2024

The report presents particularly alarming findings regarding Australia, a country previously known for its spirit of tolerance and respect for minorities. The “Executive Council of Australian Jewry” recorded a record 1,713 antisemitic incidents in 2024 compared to 1,200 in 2023. The number of incidents in 2023 was almost threefold the number in 2022. Yet, between October and December 2024, 478 incidents were registered in Australia, and in the same period in 2023, in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attacks, 827 incidents were registered. An alarming increase in antisemitic incidents was recorded also in Italy, where the “Center of Contemporary Jewish Documentation” registered 877 incidents in 2024 compared to 454 in 2023.

A moderate increase in antisemitic incidents was recorded in the United States. In New York, the largest Jewish city in the world, police recorded 344 complaints of antisemitic incidents in 2024 compared to 325 in 2023 and 264 in 2022. Yet while between October and December 2024, 68 incidents occurred in New York, in the same period in 2023, 159 incidents occurred.

In Chicago, home to the third largest Jewish population in the United States, police recorded 79 incidents compared to 50 in 2023, in Denver, 32 compared to nine, and in Austin, 15 compared to six. However, in several other cities in the United States, the number of incidents decreased.

Canada also saw an increase in incidents, where the “B’nai Brith” organization documented a record 6,219 antisemitic incidents compared to 5,791 in 2023 (and 2,769 in 2022). Still, in Canada, too, the highest levels of antisemitism were recorded in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attack. Whereas in October 2023 the number of incidents was 601, a year later it declined to 427.

Increases in the total number of incidents in 2024 compared to 2023 were also recorded in Argentina, Switzerland, Brazil and Spain.

In several countries with large Jewish populations, a decrease in antisemitic incidents in 2024 in comparison to 2023 was noted.

In France, 1,570 antisemitic incidents were recorded in 2024 compared to 1,676 in 2023 (In 2022, 436 incidents were recorded). Still, France saw an increase in the number of physical assaults on Jews – from 85 in 2023 to 106 in 2024. Whereas immediately after the October 7 attack, during October 2023, France witnessed 563 incidents, the number of incidents in the same month in 2024 was 157.

In the United Kingdom, 3,528 incidents were recorded in 2024 compared to 4,103 in 2023. In 2022, 1,662 incidents were recorded. Whereas 1,389 were recorded in October 2023, 310 incidents were recorded in October 2024.

In Germany, 5,177 incidents were recorded in 2024 compared to 5,671 in 2023. In 2022, 2,811 incidents were recorded. While during October-December 2023 Germany witnessed 3,163 incidents, during the same period in 2024 there were 671 incidents.

Antisemitic Hate Crimes: Fewer Arrests, Growing Concerns

A study published in the report, conducted by Avi Teich, examined the work of law enforcement authorities in New York, Chicago, Toronto, and London between 2021 and 2023 and found that only a negligible percentage of complaints about antisemitic hate crimes – in some cases less than 10% – led to arrests.

According to Dr. Carl Yonker, Senior Researcher at the Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry and Academic Director of the Irwin Cotler Institute: “There are unique difficulties in identifying perpetrators of hate crimes, including the lack of forensic evidence in incidents that do not involve physical assault. Some antisemitic incidents are particularly challenging for law enforcers because offenders use phrases whose real meaning can be understood only by those well-informed in their discourse. Nevertheless, much more can be done if the will exists. Education and legislation without enforcement are meaningless.

Dr. Yonker: “The fight against antisemitism requires dedicated efforts from police forces and prosecutors, not pompous statements and grotesque award ceremonies with Hollywood stars”.

A project included in the report, titled “It Happened One Day”, presents the testimonies of Jews who were harmed by antisemitic incidents in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and South Africa. Incidents described include arson, the drawing of swastikas, physical assaults and verbal attacks. “We wanted to show the heavy emotional toll of incidents mistakenly classified as ‘minor’”, said project editor Noah Abrahams. The report urges global law enforcement authorities to recognize that even antisemitic incidents such as throwing eggs at passersby severely undermine the sense of security of those attacked and their communities, violating their fundamental right to equality and dignity.

Sinwar’s Novel and the Rise of Modern Antisemitic Narratives

A first-of-its-kind study in the report analyzes the prominent antisemitic elements in a fiction novel, “The Thorn and the Carnation”, written by Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 attack, while in Israeli prison. Sinwar’s book is offered for sale in different countries, including Western, as a peek into the mind of a “freedom fighter”. The novel expresses deep-seated hatred of Jews based on religious grounds, and a totalistic rejection of any prospect of reaching a peace agreement with them.

Other studies published in the report include the rise of an antisemitic Lithuanian politician to a “kingmaker” position in his country, antisemitic propaganda in Pakistan and its export to anti-Hindu Pakistani rhetoric, the way American student newspapers covered the war in Gaza, attitudes toward antisemitism within Germany’s populist left and Holocaust education in Dutch schools. The report also features an extensive critical roundtable discussion with experts on the harm and benefit of Holocaust films, focusing on Life is Beautiful, Schindler’s List and The Brutalist.

Several global leaders in the fight against antisemitism contributed opinion articles to the report, detailing their work and the necessary measures for progress. Irwin Cotler, who previously served as Canada’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General and is considered one of the leaders in the fight against antisemitism worldwide, warned of “the intensification of the ‘axis of authoritarianism’, consisting of Russia, China, and particularly Iran”. He noted that “These powers are working collaboratively, strategically, and in concert, incorporating the weaponization of antisemitism as part of their broader strategy of disinformation and misinformation. They contribute to the ‘antisemitic ecosystem,’ now anchored within the axis of authoritarianism. At the same time, we see an upending of the transnational Atlantic alliance. The United States, once the linchpin of the global rules-based order, is now destabilizing that order”.

The report also addresses the controversy that arose in March 2025 when senior European Jewish leaders boycotted a conference organized by the Diaspora Affairs Ministry after far-right party leaders were invited.

According to Prof. Shavit: “The Diaspora Affairs Ministry is gratuitous. The minister leading it lacks experience or historical depth, and Jewish leaders are wise to keep their distance from him. However, it is important to establish universal and clear standards for Israel’s and Jewish organizations’ relations with parties and leaders with an antisemitic past. The goal should be to give them a chance to change. We propose two criteria for legitimization: Party leaders must remove any member, no matter how junior, who has expressed antisemitic or racist views and has not retracted them, and they must unequivocally reject antisemitic or racist narratives. Additionally, they must prove their commitment to fighting antisemitism and racism over at least two election cycles”.

As AI technologies—from generative models to predictive algorithms—become more and more embedded in daily life, participants discussed timely questions: How do these systems affect human decision-making? What are the legal and ethical implications? And how can we keep innovation grounded in human values?

AI Meets the Human Mind and Personality

One of the workshop’s core themes was the interplay between personality traits and how people engage with AI. Dr. Shir Etgar presented research showing that AI-generated financial advice varies based on gendered cues—such as stereotypically male or female professions—often offering women less risky and more simplified, even patronizing, responses. 

“Gender biases can have tremendous implications. We need a new approach that helps users become more aware and make informed decisions.”—Dr. Shir Etgar, TAU Faculty of Social Sciences

Research on how our personality shapes our perception of AI found that neuroticism is associated with treating AI as a threat, while agreeableness was linked with seeing AI as an opportunity. These traits influence whether people override, avoid, or embrace AI recommendations.

Other contributions examined public attitudes toward AI, its role in policy-related research such as refugee integration and how tailoring AI systems to users’ personality profiles might improve experience.

At the same time, researchers cautioned against over-anthropomorphizing machines, emphasizing the ethical consequences of designing systems that appear ‘too human’. What is important, however, is that AI can surely serve as a tool for real social change.

Questions of Legitimacy and Accountability 

What happens to our right to due process when an algorithm makes the call? On the one hand, AI can definitely help reduce bureaucratic barriers for people in need of legal aid by automating the initial assessment of cases. On the other hand, how can fair treatment be ensured?

“If promises are not made personally but by a computer system used by a human, without the human knowing the content of the given promises, does this break the fundamental human trust?”—Peter Moser, LMU

Building on earlier research presented at the TAU-LMU Workshop in 2022, discussions emphasized that AI systems are unlikely to completely replace humans in the near future. Instead, AI systems and humans are expected to work side by side, which raises new questions of liability and responsibility in decision-making, particularly when errors occur and blame must be assigned. 

When AI Misses the Subtleties

Despite its exponentially growing capabilities, AI still struggles with nuance and consistency. AI-generated predictions of voting behavior during the EU elections revealed significant variability in accuracy across regions and languages—highlighting the risk of reinforcing social inequalities if these systems are not properly validated.

Prompt engineering also remains a major challenge—as anyone who has tried running the same prompt twice knows very well, each attempt will yield a different result, raising concerns about reproducibility and transparency.  

Another limitation is AI’s current difficulty with counterfactual ‘what if’ thinking and reasoning from a first or third-person perspective—fundamental to human and animal cognition. This may constitute another area for future development.

“LLMs can mimic human logic to a point—but they still lack the personal and contextual depth that defines human thought.”—Roy Klein, TAU

A Shared Vision for Interdisciplinary Research

The workshop wrapped up with a forward-looking discussion on future collaboration. Representatives from both LMU and TAU emphasized their shared commitment to bridging the gap between technology and humanity.

“The partnership between LMU and TAU is more than just a collaboration—it’s a convergence of academic strengths that allows us to tackle today’s most pressing questions from multiple angles,” said Dr. Michal Linder Zarankin, from TAU.

“By combining our expertise across disciplines, we’re ensuring that the development of new technologies is guided by a deep understanding of cultural and ethical dimensions.”—Dr. Lior Zalmanson, the Academic Coordinator and a Senior Lecturer at TAU

Participants also gave highly positive feedback on the structure, setup, and substance of the event, praising the relevance and quality of the talks, the diverse yet focused group of participants, and the opportunities for meaningful conversation. 

“In terms of talks and topics and people, it was the BEST workshop I’ve ever been to. People were extremely nice, smart, and motivated to connect and collaborate,” commented one of the participants.

Looking Ahead

As TAU and LMU continue to deepen their cooperation, new funding opportunities will support further research at the intersection of AI, humanities, and the social sciences. 

Participants noted the ongoing challenge of inter- or multi-disciplinary collaboration—especially the lack of a shared language across fields. Events like this collaborative workshop help build essential bridges between different academic fields.

By encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue, the AI–Humanity–Society workshop has not only sparked new ideas—it has laid the groundwork for future breakthroughs at the intersection of technology and the human experience.

The Postdoc Researcher Club kicked off at the Lowy International School with a thought-provoking session on the creative process of science, led by Prof. Judith Berman of TAU’s Faculty of Life Sciences and Prof. Itai Yanai, a biochemist at New York University and co-host of the Night Science podcast.

Instead of focusing on technical skills or research methods, Prof. Yanai introduced participants to the concept of night science—an intuitive and exploratory mode of thinking that complements the structured, analytical, and methodical mindset of traditional “day science” of experiments, controls, and precision. Night science is where breakthrough ideas are born, he says. And the magic of science happens in alternating between the two modes— ‘doing’ and ‘thinking.’

Prof. Judith Berman and Prof. Itai Yanai at the Lowy International School

The highly interactive session was divided into three parts on improvisational science, interdisciplinary thinking, and the balance between data and hypothesis—each with a practical exercise for participants to get a taste of new approaches. 

The Power of Discussions 

It’s not every day that a science workshop references Karl Popper, datasets, and Taylor Swift all in one session. But this unique blend of popular culture, scientific references, and philosophy is part of what makes Prof. Yanai’s message stand out: science is not merely about execution, but about imagination, out-of-the-box thinking, and transcending boundaries. Above all, science is about creativity and dialogue.

“You need to have someone that you can talk to. These kinds of discussions are crucial for your future. There is a potential Nature paper in every conversation.”

Prof. Yanai and Prof. Berman urged the participants to delay criticism and judgement when talking to their ‘science buddy’. To get into the right mindset, they suggest replacing the default ‘no, but..’ with ‘yes, and..’ response opener borrowed from improv theater. This simple shift supports dialogue and keeps creative momentum going.

“Conversations with your science buddy are very humble—just two people talking—but it is work,” commented Prof. Yanai inviting workshop participants to try this type of informal discussion.

“There is going to be time to be critical. First, let’s just explore ideas and see where that can take us,” said Prof. Yanai. “You need to suspend disbelief,” added Prof Berman.

“The whole idea of a discussion is to just keep it going. You never know what’s going to happen.”

For many participants, switching to ‘yes, and’ mode didn’t come easy—but everyone agreed that the exercise led to more motivating, inspiring exchanges. “It filled me with hope,” shared one of the international postdocs. “It’s great to meet and talk with other postdocs,” said another participant.

Import-Export Mode in Science

Drawing on musical parallels, Prof. Yanai stressed the value of interdisciplinary connections. Just like Bob Dylan never confined himself to a single musical genre, researchers too should resist the urge to stay boxed into one academic field:

“Just because music has genres does not mean that musicians need to stay in just one genre. Musicians can go and grow… And maybe you haven’t realized it yet, but the same goes for science.”

Prof. Yanai noted that academic fields and subfields are merely one of the ways of clustering knowledge, but true progress will most probably come from importing ideas across fields. He encouraged researchers to form diverse collaborations—even fleeting ones—emphasizing that productive thinking can happen between a postdoc in physics and a researcher in plant ecology, or even over coffee with a curious high schooler. 

Exchanging research project ideas in the yard of the Lowy International School’s Green House.

At the same time, he acknowledged the dilemma: “The more you specialize, the less open you are to new ideas, but the more you explore other fields, the more you lose your credibility.” Once again, finding the right balance is key.

Saw the Gorilla?

One of the workshop’s most memorable moments involved a classic psychological experiment: participants were asked to count basketball passes in a video, causing many to completely miss the person in a gorilla suit walking through the scene.

This segued into a discussion of the ‘gorilla dataset,’ which Prof. Yanai and his collaborator designed to illustrate how hypothesis-driven thinking can narrow our vision. Curiously enough, LLMs are not yet capable of spotting the gorilla either.

“Having a hypothesis can be a liability. It primes you to see what you’re looking for, and you might miss something amazing.”

Exploring limitations to creativity and imagination

In a follow-up exercise modeled after The New Yorker cartoon caption contest, half of the participants were shown a cartoon and asked to come up with their own punchline. The other half saw the same cartoon, but with three sample captions provided. Just like with the gorilla dataset, those who were not ‘primed’ by suggested options were more creative—highlighting how even subtle framing can limit our ability to explore freely.

Science as the Poetry of Reality

Summing up the workshop, Prof. Yanai stressed that night science is poetic, risky, and often hidden from public view. But it’s also what gives science its soul. He encouraged participants to hold onto the sense of wonder that drew them to science in the first place. 

“There are eight things that give us humans awe. Big ideas or epiphanies are one of them and science can give us that.”

Participants of the first meeting of the TAU Postdoc Researcher Club at the Lowy International School

The Postdoc Club at TAU plans to continue with regular meetups, offering a space for international and Israeli postdocs to connect, share ideas, and explore the creative side of science together.
