ORT America’s Donors Fuel Strong 2011
Campaign, Despite Economic Downturn
We begin with our profound thanks to the thousands of ORT AMERICA supporters
throughout the United States who simply would NOT let an economic downturn be the
excuse for a weak campaign. You gave more and you gave earlier, allowing us to fund vital
programs both within the United States (via U.S. Operations) and throughout the world (via
WORLD ORT).
We recommitted ourselves to WORLD ORT’s Kadima Mada (Science Journey) programs
in Israel with a mission of supporters that allowed us to interact with school administrators
and students alike.
Across the board in all the schools where SMART Classrooms are up and running, test
scores on annual high school matriculation exams are up. We should all feel proud to
be associated with the profound impact Kadima Mada is having on the Israeli education
system.
In Argentina, ORT contributions resulted in the dedication of a new school campus in
Buenos Aires to help meet the demand for an ORT education that outgrew the capacity
of its existing ORT schools. In the U.S., more than 80 percent of the class of 2011 found
employment in their chosen fields.
So we want to thank the many thousands of ORT AMERICA supporters, like you for your
generosity and for helping to make 2011 a banner year.
We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

ORT Launches Advanced Science and
Technology Center in Sha’ar HaNegev
In September 2012, Sha’ar HaNegev High School
opened its new Science and Technology Center, funded
by ORT’s Kadima Mada (Science Journey) program.
The campus has been fortified to protect against
rocket attacks while maintaining educational balance,
and fostering a communal and collaborative culture.
The school’s 1,200 students will have a safe learning
environment, which in turn will help the region attract
young families despite initial security concerns. World
ORT contributed chemistry and physics labs, four
multi-purpose labs, a logistics center, and an exhibition
space – an investment of over $1 million.
$15 Million Gift Kickstarts Scholarships
ORT has established the Anieres II Engineering/
Technology Scholarship Program, a $35 million
education program in Israel, benefiting at least 500
teenagers from low socio-economic backgroundstaken in 10 annual intakes of up to 60 students. An
anonymous $15 million donation from a current ORT
America donor, and graduate of the original Anieres
program, made this initiative possible. It will be bundled
with an $18 million contribution by the State of Israel in
addition to $2 million paid through student tuitions.

Fellowship Continues Support for ORT
Students in the CIS
An ORT Education for Mexico’s
40,000-Strong Jewish Community
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
often known as “The Fellowship,” provided emergency
funding of $400,000 to assist ORT’s network of 17
schools within the Commonwealth of Independent
States (CIS) cope with funding cutbacks from the
Heftsiba system – the conduit through which the
State of Israel has supported the education of Jewish
children attending ORT schools in the CIS. Without
this emergency infusion to cover essential needs, the
whole system of Jewish education in the CIS was in
danger of collapse.
ORT Mexico is extending into university-level business
education with the University Center in Advanced
Management and Business Development at the CIM–
ORT School, in Mexico City. ORT Mexico expects the
center to increase its enrollment substantially. It will
provide B.A. degrees in Business and Development,
International Trade and Globalization, and Marketing
2.0 and Advertising, as well as an M.A. in Advanced
Business Management. Although scholarships will be
available, the integration of classroom teaching with
online courses will also make the center affordable.
New Digital Media Program
Gaining Momentum
Naomi Prawer Kadar Foundation and
ORT Launch New Training Seminar
Los Angeles ORT College is located in the heart of the
movie and television industry, so it makes perfect sense
for the college to have recently developed a program
that offers students an Associate of Applied Science
(AAS) Degree in Digital Media. The curriculum prepares
students for careers in graphic design and desktop
publishing by learning multimedia, animation and
photography editing. Essential tools for those looking to
branch out in the field of magazine publishing and video
production, especially.
The inaugural Naomi Prawer Kadar International
Seminar for Digital Technology in Jewish Education
was held in Moscow, and brought together nearly
30 Hebrew teachers from Belarus, Russia, Israel,
Kyrgyzstan, and beyond for four days at the Moscow
ORT Technology School. Participants experienced
training, workshops and digital demonstrations using
interactive whiteboards and video-conferencing.

The 1880 Society
Diamond Ladder
Minimum of $100,000 paid within 3 years.
In honor of ORT’s 125th year, World ORT established the 1880
Society as a way of ensuring that ORT continues to provide a
world-class education for hundreds of thousands of children and
adults in an ever-changing global economy.
The 1880 Society’s name recalls the year of ORT’s creation
when its founding fathers – Nikolai Bakst, Samuel Poliakov and
Baron Horace Gunzburg – used their wealth and influence to
improve the future of less fortunate Russian Jews. Their vision
and spirit of philanthropy, which has guided and sustained ORT
throughout its 132-year history, is as relevant today as it was then.
Listed below are the American members of this
prestigious international recognition society.

A minimum annual commitment of $5000 a year for 3 years.
The Diamond Ladder Society was developed to reflect the eight
levels of tzedekah identified by 12th century philosopher Moses
Maimonides. The highest form of tzedekah is giving people the
skills needed to become self-sufficient and the gift of no longer
needing charity at all, a guiding principle of ORT since its
inception in 1880. With a three-year commitment at one of the
eight levels of giving, Diamond Ladder members help ORT to
plan and budget wisely, and ensure ORT’s stability and growth.
These levels are:
$250,000+
$100,000 - $179,999
$35,000 - $49,999
$10,000 - $17,99
$180,000 - $249,999
$50,000 - $99,999
$18,000 - $34,999
$5,000 - $9,999
Golden Circle
Annual Gift of $1,000 and Above.
The Golden Circle Society has been a cornerstone of ORT
America’s fundraising since the 1960s. The men’s ORT lapel
pin and ladies’ Golden Circle pin have been proudly worn
for decades, symbolizing ORT’s enduring mission and the
connection the organization’s supporters have to our students
around the world.
Recently, two new levels have been introduced: the Golden
Circle Chai (minimum $1,800) and the Inner Circle (minimum
$2,500).

WHERE ORT WORKS
ORT schools in the United States have
a solid record of making sure their graduates get
jobs: 80 percent of the Class of 2011 is employed
in their field of study. That’s more than double the
national average of 34 percent!
Bramson ORT College, a star among New
York City colleges, due to its high job placement
ratings upon graduation, has a campus in Forest
Hills, Queens and an extension center in
Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, a primarily Orthodox
Jewish neighborhood. It offers quality college
programs in business, technology and health
services that meet the educational and career
needs of a diverse New York community. Seminars,
online courses and video-conferencing strengthen
the college’s adaptability to students’ lives.
Current enrollment at Bramson exceeds 1000
students, who represent more than 40 countries.
And this year, nearly 300 students earned twoyear associate degrees in accounting, business
management, computer technology, electronics
technology, medical and natural sciences, paralegal
studies and office technology.
With an unprecedented 89 percent of graduates
obtaining positions in their field of study, Los
Angeles ORT College exemplifies ORT’s mission
in training and education for job placement. From
computer and medical technology to English as
a Second Language (ESL), each career program
includes employment preparation and coaching
to assist students with succeeding outside the
classroom.
For over twenty years, Zarem/Golde ORT
Technical Institute in Skokie, IL, has successfully
prepared adult students from around the world,
and down the block, for careers in a competitive
global market. It provides high-quality, affordable,
hands-on technical, business and medical training,
as well as ESL courses. The school listens to its
community and responds with appropriate training
designed to get students into working careers.
Michigan has struggled with an economic
downturn for decades, and Detroit has been
especially hard hit by the lingering recession.
With few options, more and more unemployed
and underemployed are turning to the David B.

In 2010, a new program called “Springboard to

Country Highlights Where ORT Works!
MEXICO
CHILE
ARGENTINA
ORT’s groundbreaking partnership with Mexico’s
oldest Jewish school, Colegio Israelita de
Mexico (CIM), serves 650 students and provides
critical curricular and technological support. In
September 2012, ORT Mexico is preparing to
extend its activities into university-level business
education with the opening of the University
Center in Advanced Management and Business
Development at CIM-ORT.
ORT’s first endeavor was the establishment of
a Media Training Center that focused on digital
technologies, Internet broadcasting and HD video
production. This center was instantly well received
within the Mexican Jewish community, used by
students from CIM-ORT as well as Jewish day
schools.
When demand for enrollment skyrocketed - with
more than half of the 4,500 Jewish children in
Santiago not receiving Jewish education - ORT
responded to the need by developing plans to
erect a new Jewish school in Santiago. Attracting
widespread acclaim and support for its projects,
ORT Chile has helped thousands of people in the
country’s communities, through computer literacy
programs, leadership courses, teacher training,
technical support and more.
ORT Chile is embarking on an ambitious
project to train 20,000 small business-owners in
entrepreneurial skills. It has been approached by
the Coca-Cola Foundation to implement a major
online training program which aims to give the
owners of corner shops and kiosks, common in
poorer neighborhoods, the tools to modernize and
expand.
In another high-impact strategic partnership,
ORT and the Telefonica Corporation have
introduced a broad-based employment training
program that serves some 400 people in the
Santiago area.
ORT helped rebuild school facilities in
Chile following the country’s recent devastating
earthquake.
ORT Argentina’s elementary schools, high schools,
and colleges are operating at full capacity, with
8,000 students enrolled per year (over 80 percent
of the Jewish student population in ORT’s service
area). Our schools were the first to offer studies in
mass media, biotechnology and communication
technology. Thanks to our donors, ORT
constructed a third high school campus in Buenos
Aires to help ease overcrowded classrooms. This
campus concentrates on core sciences like physics,
chemistry and biology, and has state-of-the-art
laboratories that include bio and food technology,
environment and sustainable development,
mechatronics, physics, natural sciences and
technology.
URUGUAY
ORT Uruguay, the largest private university in the
country, continually receives recognition as being
among the world’s top universities. More than 5,000
students enroll in post-graduate, graduate and
technical level courses. Additionally, the university
facilitates an adult Jewish education program for
teachers and provides technical and pedagogical
support to all Uruguayan Jewish schools.
BRAZIL
The Brazilian Amazon is one of the world’s best
locations for environmental science. ORT supports
the Environmental Center for Environmental
Education, a pioneering field project based in a
preserved section of the Amazon rainforest, where
students and scientists pursue environmental and
biotechnology studies. ORT Brazil’s Institute of
Technology has been officially ranked among the
top 50 high schools in the country. ORT also serves
the Jewish community at a Rio de Janeiro high
school campus with programs concentrated in
computer science, Hebrew, social communication
and electronics.

ORT PROGRAMS
ORT in the Baltic and Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS)
ORT was launched in St. Petersburg, Russia, by a group of
Jewish businessmen in 1880, aiming to uplift the Jewish
population out of poverty through providing access to
education, particularly through trade and agricultural
schools. This belief in the power of education has
anchored ORT for over 130 years.
ORT’s work was suspended in the region in 1938;
however, it was reinstated when the USSR dissolved in
the 1990s. ORT became the leading Jewish education
provider in a community largely unaware of their Jewish
heritage.
Today, ORT’s efforts have expanded beyond Jewish
education to include technical training, elementary and
middle schools with affiliate chapters in the Russian
Federation, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania
and Kyrgyzstan.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The birthplace of the organization continues ORT’s
mission of providing innovative and progressive
education. It is exemplified at St. Petersburg’s de
Gunzburg Jewish School, which serves over 500 students
between the ages of 6 and 17, and offers a curriculum
that combines mandated requirements with innovative
education.
The Moscow ORT Technology College, meanwhile,
specializes in commercial management, catering,
leatherwork and furrier skills and is open to the public
with an enrollment of almost 1,400 students a year. In
Kazan, ORT supports the largest inclusive Jewish school
in Russia through this Technology Center – teaching
over 500 students history, math, science, Hebrew and
Jewish studies.
UKRAINE
ORT works throughout Ukraine with Jewish populations
that have lost their Judaic identity. ORT outposts can be
found within the cities of Odessa, Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk,
Kharkov and Zaporizhzhya. The schools’ programming
ranges from training in web design and computer
animation to Hebrew and Jewish studies.
ORT’s work has been so effective that in 2008, the
Ukrainian Ministry of Education adopted ORT teaching
strategies and methodologies in technological subjects
at several state schools.
MOLDOVA
Moldova is one of Europe’s poorest nations, with a
Jewish community fairing no better than the rest of its
population. In the capital of Chisinau, ORT’s Technology
Center incorporates the latest technology in teaching
subjects such as history, biology, mathematics and
Hebrew. This school boasts the nation’s highest
computer to student ratio of 3-to-1, versus a national
average of 22-to-1. Through improved education,
ORT hopes to raise employment among Jewish
Moldovans.

ORT America’s Education
Revolution in Israel
Israel has faced an educational crisis in science and
math. Its students, once ranked among the top 10
nations, slipped to 41st, putting the country’s ability
to innovate at serious risk.
To address this educational emergency, ORT
has embarked on a rare partnership between nonprofit and government organizations to institute
the Kadima Mada (Science Journey) program.
Since its launch in 2007, Kadima Mada has
revolutionized science and technology education
for over 150,000 students in 165 schools, including
27 schools situated within public hospitals, located
in communities stressed by high unemployment,
high student dropout rates, and social changes.
Kadima Mada’s educational technology
comes in two “flavors.” The first is the Smart
Classroom. Teachers connect their computers to
interactive whiteboards, which link to students’
laptop computers. These interconnected laptops
allow students to visualize concepts and examine
their studies in greater depth than with traditional
blackboard methods.
The second “flavor” is the Intelligent
Laboratory, filled with up-to-date equipment
that students use to analyze, interpret and better
understand the fundamentals of physics, chemistry
and biology. Learning becomes very personal
in this environment as the labs are outfitted with
computers for each student, and a terminal for the
instructor.
Because learning is a double-sided effort,
Kadima Mada also prepares some 3,300 teachers
by equipping them with 127 hours of teacher
training – an intensive series of instruction created
to keep teachers updated on the latest educational
technology.
ORT America’s commitment to reversing
Israeli students’ poor ranking in science and math
has already shown success. In just three years of
existence, Kadima Mada schools in Israel have
dramatically raised matriculation rates by over 30
percent.
By 2013, ORT’s goal is to install over 1,000 Smart
Classes and Intelligent Laboratories and train over
700 teachers, benefiting an additional estimated
7,500 students.
