Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
AN AFTERNOON WITH
THE AMBASSADOR OF ISRAEL, YOSEF LIVNE
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 3
This month NZ Friends of Israel is pleased to invite you to a reception to welcome the new Ambassador of Israel to New Zealand.
With the volatility that stems from the Arab Spring, the prospect of Iran bearing nuclear weapons, the resumption of peace talks with the Palestinians and the economic advance of Israel, the appointment of a new Ambassador of Israel to New Zealand has come at an eventful time.
The Ambassador will be speaking about these events and their influence on Israeli-New Zealand relations.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the meeting and to informally meet the Ambassador afterward.

Yosef Livne, 64, has been Ambassador of Israel to El Salvador, Belize, Mexico and the Bahamas, and Deputy Consul-General in New York. He and his wife, Norma have two sons, Alon (12) and Dan (14).

HaYovel – Invites New Zealanders to come and serve in Israel
The HaYovel team will be in Christchurch on the 21st of November for the final meeting of their nationwide tour and will be sharing about the work of HaYovel on the mountains of Samaria and how you can be a part of it.
We would love your friends and acquaintances to be encouraged by this programme and invite you to attend their meeting at 7 30 p.m. Thursday, 21st November. Everyone welcome!
South City C3 Christian Centre, Christchurch
Cnr Moorhouse Avenue and Colombo Street.
7 30 p.m. Thursday, 21st Nov
Contact: Gwenda Smithies – Tel. 03 349 6070,
Email: Roger.Smithies@telecom.co.nz
HaYovel is an organisation based in Israel, volunteering help to Israeli vineyard growers, that provides a unique opportunity for all age groups to not only tour the land of the Bible but also to support the Jewish people in a practical way. It is so exciting to realise that by volunteering, you are actually fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 61:5b (TLB)
‘Foreigners shall be your Servants, they shall plough your fields and tend your vineyards’
Jeremiah 31:5 (TLB) ‘Again, you will plant your vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria and eat from your own gardens’
This is a very exciting ministry and as shared by the team in their interview on Radio Rhema on Friday morning, 300 volunteers from many different countries came and partcipated in this year’s Harvest which has just ended. CBN News also featured HaYovel on their programme on Shine TV last week which was very timely in the light of the tour.
We are pleased to welcome author, Lynley Smith to address the Society on December 1.
After finding a tenuous family connection to the mysterious and captivating Jane Haining, Lynley Smith crafted Jane’s fictionalized diary, a biography of a faithful servant and Scottish missionary who died at the hands of Nazi butchers in Auschwitz Concentration Camp during World War II, in the inspirational and bittersweet From Matron to Martyr.
One of Jane Haining’s best friends was Frances Warburton Lee, who ended up in the same prison cell as Jane in Budapest. Frances moved to Christchurch after the war and settled in Christchurch.
Jane’s story has had moved the hearts of many. In December she will be speaking at the Holocaust Centre for New Zealand in Wellington. The second largest publisher in Hungary has agreed to translate and publish the story, and sell it in their numerous bookshops throughout Hungary. The Budapest Holocaust Centre also plans to launch the book in June next year.
