The Interdisciplinary
Center (IDC)
Herzliya

Dear students,
Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya.
IDC Herzliya is in the midst of its second decade of activity. Our path has not
been an easy one – we led an academic revolution in Israel. In doing so, we
did not seek government funding so that we would not be bound by the
limitations imposed by “national planning” and be able to act freely on behalf
of our students. At the same time, we created a non-profit organization that
contributes to the public welfare. Over the years we have encountered
hostility from the establishment more than once due to our innovative
approach and our departure from accepted norms. Our motto of liberty and
responsibility highlights our belief in the importance of taking responsibility
for one’s own personal advancement, as well as for the weak and for society
as a whole.
The leadership demonstrated by our students is the reward for our efforts.
Dozens of students’ initiatives have become IDC Herzliya treasures: the
IDC Entrepreneurship Club; Kol Kore (A Voice is Calling); the IDC
Berman-Lippa Family Foundation Debating Club; the sports teams; the
community service activities, the Ensamble project; in Herzliya’s Yad
Hatisha neighborhood; the Community Legal Assistance Program; the IDC
Kav Hatohar; the Keren Or project; the students’ newspaper; the performing
arts troupes; and more. The Student Union has been a training ground for
excellent leadership; as an apolitical organization it has contributed greatly
in recent years both in the area of mutual assistance and by improving
various aspects of campus life in cooperation with the IDC Herzliya
administration. Another initiative that demonstrates the spirit of IDC Herzliya
is the summer camp our psychology students organized in the Galilee for
children from the area within firing range of the Gaza Strip, including
volunteering to serve as counselors and obtaining all the resources needed.
That same spirit of contribution and initiative is alive and well today among
IDC Herzliya’s thousands of alumni. The student body hails from all parts of
Israel as well as from 60 countries around the globe and includes many
alumni of elite Israeli security units, members of the Israeli-Ethiopian
community, social activists from developing towns and underprivileged
areas, youths from abroad and many other sectors.
As the following pages demonstrate, in addition to the educational activities
offered by IDC Herzliya’s excellent schools, you can enjoy many programs
designed for your enrichment and pleasure, which at the same time aim to
benefit society.
I wish you a successful and enjoyable academic year.
Yours,
Prof. Uriel Reichman
President

Opening

Dear students,
You are now a part of the IDC Herzliya family. During your studies here, you
will meet people from all strata of society, people who are endowed with
leadership ability and who demonstrate personal excellence and an
abundance of consideration as part of their worldview.
IDC Herzliya students are called on to demonstrate national responsibility
and social involvement that begins, first and foremost, with helping the
other. Therefore, alongside academic studies of the highest level, we
present you with a variety of opportunities, as detailed in this brochure, to
become involved in different community service projects, both within our
vibrant, active campus and beyond it, that will enrich your student
experience.
Since its establishment, IDC Herzliya has been characterized by an
approach that relates to you, our students, as partners who are at the heart
of our academic activities. We place a special emphasis on providing you
with personal attention from faculty members and on maintaining a direct
relationship with you and your representatives from the Student Union. Your
satisfaction is important to us and we will do everything we can to provide
you with the best services possible.
Our efforts are focused on preparing you for the professional and social
challenges that await you in the future. The tools that you will acquire during
your studies will play a significant role in shaping your character and will
serve you well on your journey through life.
I wish you all a productive and successful academic year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ayelet Ben-Ezer
Vice President for Student Affairs

while living under the ongoing threat of Qassam
rocket attacks, and to help them. As part of
the project, which is coordinated by student
volunteers, students encourage and promote
initiatives in which IDC Herzliya’s different
research institutes and schools cooperate
with residents of Sderot and the western Negev
efficiently and productively. The project’s initial
activities included a three-day fair to raise
awareness, that was held in April 2008. The
fair’s impressive achievements included
recruiting additional students to participate in
the project. The project provides students
with a platform to use the knowledge and
skills they obtain in their studies at IDC
Herzliya to provide assistance that will truly
fill the needs of western Negev residents, who
have sustained physical and emotional injuries
from the Qassam rockets’ reign of terror.

Legal Aid Clinics
The Community Legal Assistance Program*
This legal assistance program, which combines academic and practical activities, is designed
to create social, legal and community awareness among students while they obtain hands-on
legal experience and acquire practical and ethical skills. The course consists of weekly theoretical
sessions, which are led by the academic advisor, the lawyer advising the course and guest
lecturers (judges, lawyers and academics), as well as practical sessions and a preparatory
workshop. The program cooperates with the Israeli bar association’s pro bono program through
which IDC Herzliya alumni and students in the program, together provide legal assistance. The
program is designed for third and fourth-year students at the Radzyner School of Law.
For additional information contact attorney Iris Illotovitch-Segal at segali@idc.ac.il
"Kav Hatohar"*
The IDC Kav Hatohar, is a year-long elective course that involves hands-on legal work. The
idea behind the course is to involve law students in community service activities that allow them
to apply the material learned in their required courses. Kav Hatohar is designed to accept calls
from citizens who would like to protest and act against corruption and improper management in
government agencies. Students receive complaints from the public, examine the facts and legal
issues involved, and decide if there is a legal basis for responding to the complaint.
For additional information: www.mqg.org.il.
Assisting Child Victims of Crime*
The program involves assisting children who are crime victims during the legal proceedings
against those charged with violating their rights. This means that the assistance is to crime
victims and aims to provide them with information about legal procedures in general and about
the progress of their case in particular; to mediate between the children and the authorities
involved in prosecuting their cases; to help them fulfill their responsibilities to provide evidence
for the cases; and to ease their path through the world of criminal prosecution, which even at its
best can appear threatening (especially to children). The program combines practical activities
with academic studies. In the practical component, which is guided and supervised by attorney
Noa Bodsky-Levy of the National Council for the Child, students provide assistance to children
participating in the legal process as victims of a crime or as witnesses. The academic component
consists of sessions led by the academic director, Dr. Ruth Zafran, in cooperation with attorney
Vered Vindman, the legal advisor of the National Council for the Child.
For additional information contact attorney Iris Illotovitch-Segal at segali@idc.ac.il
Assisting Youth and Children At-Risk *
This program involves helping children and youth who are at risk or in distress. Activities in the
program center include three projects: Information and guidance centers, to which youth
suffering from issues such as violence, neglect, domestic abuse or a conflict with the authorities
turn for assistance and advice; "Migdalor" centers, which help high-risk youth from a variety of
backgrounds who have trouble integrating into formal frameworks; and a center for the
prevention and treatment of sexual violence among children and youth, which specializes in
treating children who have been sexually abused. In addition to providing practical assistance,
which is done as part of the activities of the ELEM nonprofit organization, students participating
in the program learn related academic material in a series of lectures. Among other issues,
students will learn about dilemmas relating to children’s rights, alternatives to the parent-child
relationship with regard to the status and responsibility of the state, the principle of the child’s
best interest in making decisions that will impact a child, abuse and corporal
punishment of children, responsibility to report suspicions, children’s rights in the school
system, and therapeutic and legal responses to sexual abuse.

The Berman-Lippa Family
Foundation Debate Club
Similarly to elite universities around the world,
IDC Herzliya has a debate club, which has

enables students to improve their debating
and speaking skills. Debating is a competitive
sport, whose aim is to champion a position
through the use of rhetoric, logically building
an argument and critical thinking. Club members
are selected each year from hundreds of
applicants. The club’s achievements are
impressive - including winning the Israeli
championship several years in a row, winning
the European championship and reaching the
finals of the world championship. Each year,
the debate club trains talented, eloquent
speakers who represent IDC Herzliya at
competitions abroad and provides speakers
with a unique social experience.
Standing before an audience, quick critical
thinking, and the ability to build a successful
and persuasive argument in a short time
are only a few of the challenges that
frequently confront a successful individual
in the legal, political and business arenas.
The debating club helps its members develop
these skills. For additional information,
see www.debate.ntt.co.il
The Ambassadors Club
The Raphael Recanati International School
established the club in cooperation together
with the "Stand With Us" organization and the
Asper Institute for New Media Diplomacy and
with the support of the Israeli Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. The club’s goal is to help
students broaden their knowledge of public
diplomacy issues and acquire tools to represent
Israel both at home and abroad. In the club,
international students and Israeli students
meet on campus with leading speakers in the
field in order to enrich their knowledge of
public diplomacy and enhance practical skills
such as speaking before an audience, working
with the international media and activism on
university campuses abroad.
