ReviewAs early as 1935, local Jews formed an ORT committee in Cuba. In 1943, a school was established in Havana, which helped newly arrived Jewish emigrants. After an absence of more than 40 years, ORT reinitiated its help for the Cuban Jewish Community. The Jewish Community's ORT Technological Center,
in complete collaboration with World ORT, was inaugurated on November
22nd, 2000. Objetives
Due to the current impact of the informatization
of the Cuban society and the increasing necessity of having a good
Jewish education in our Community, the main objective of the Center
have been to qualify Jews and affiliates of our Community in the
use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), and to
develop academic activities for teaching Hebrew and Judaism to members
of the Jewish Community. BoardIng. William Miller. National Director. ProfessorsEng. Ana María Rudnica ActivitiesIn our work for increasing our activities we are introduced new courses: Typewriting, Marketing and Languages, are examples of this. The activities of the project
are divided in a total of 12 groups for training in the use of ICT,
divided by ages or academic interests. These groups each works two
hours twice a week between Monday and Friday. Our program also extends
to the Sunday Jewish School, where Hebrew and Judaism are taught
to five groups of children and teenagers. Achievements
Up to 120 students can be registered for each period
of courses, of which 40% can be non-members of the Jewish Community.
At this point, 818 part time students (members and non-members of
the Community) have enrolled, of whom 515 have completed their studies
- with an average score of 62.96 % - in a total of 66 courses. Future
Programs Our project works towards advancing the development and diffusion of ORT programs within the Jewish Community of Cuba. We also aim to achieve a higher level of professionalism, for example: - Collaboration with the rest of the Jewish Communities
of the country. - Development of non-technological academic activities: Handmade works courses, Music courses for children and teenagers. - Development of the distance education learning using electronic mail as a method of communication. - Establishing new collaborations with ORT International Cooperation Offices. - Training of the Jewish instructors of the
project, starting with collaboration between ORT schools all over
the world, in fields of expertise of great demand in the Jewish
Community: Hebrew, Judaism, technical specialties, etc. Contacts:For receiving our Electronic Newsletter, in Spanish, with news about our local community and activities of the ORT program in Cuba, please, select the following option.
