facing

the

Israeli

education

system

.

In

her

article

,

she

asks what

containment

is

and

how

it

is

expressed

in

daily

life

,

and

argues

that

dealing with

containment

requires

a

clarification

of

values

,

significances

and

implications

of

education

on students

.

The

second

article

,

by Yifat Klein

,

Program Director

for

children

and

youth with

disabilities

,

presents

readers with an

interesting emotional challenge

:

exposure

to

the

exclusion

that

children

and

youth with

disabilities

experience

in

the

spheres

of

life

in

general

,

and

particularly within

the

context

of

sexual

abuse

.

Questions

such

as whether

and

how

people with

disabilities

tell

about

sexual

abuse

that

they

experienced

;

who

investigates

those

children

and

youth

,

and

with

what

tools

;

what

can

be

done

in

order

to make

life

easier

for

these

children

and

to

increase

their

awareness

,

that

of

the

professionals who

treat

them

,

and

of

the

legal

system

that

is

supposed

to

provide

a

legal

solution

for

this

population

.

Beyond

the

difficulties

with

which

she

fills

her

article

,

Yifat

presents

relevant

and

important

information within

the

context

of

implementing

the

Investigation

and

Testimony

Procedural

Act

(

Accommodations

for

Persons

with

Mental

or

Cognitive Disabilities

).

The

third article was written by Liora Arnon

,

Director of Knowledge Development

at

JDC

-

Israel

Volunteerism

Initiative

.

It

deals with

the

question

of

benefits

and

advantages of youth volunteerism

.

Liora argues

that

the main

research deals with

the

feasibility and with

the advantages of volunteerism

for

the youth

themselves

.

Here

,

she

provides

a

platform

for

discussing

the

benefits

and

the

advantages

for

the

community

,

the

volunteer

organizations

and

the

business sector

.

In

the

second

part of

the

issue

,

Field

Journal

,

we

left

it

to

the written word

alone

to

take

readers

to

spheres

of

professional

,

personal

and

internal

dialogue

.

Here

then

,

experiences and

impressions of professionals may be

seen

.

The

first article

,

by

Amram

Aklom

,

Senior

-

,

raises

the

question

of

the

visibility

of

members

of

the

Ethiopian

community

from

his

personal

perspective

,

as

a member of

the

community

.

Amram

s

personal

story

reveals

the

community members

pain

,

frustration

and

daily

contending with

the

process

of

their

integration

in

Israeli

society

being different

,

being other

,

wanting

to be

like

everyone else

.

The

written

by

-

exposes

us

to

s

personal

journey

into

the

world

of

spiritual

care

.
