  • Comment: Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:16, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: Fails WP:GNG and needs significant rewrite to use less promotional wording. Eternal Shadow Talk 20:22, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: General remarks:
    1. This article contains write-ups of two entities, not one. Consider separating them if both can stand up to individual notability measures.
    2. Typically, for corporation/organisation pages, expanding the history section backed with secondary sources will help in passing the notability measures.
    Specific remarks by section:
    2. History - The 3 sources doesn't describe the notability of the entity. So what if it is a member of international organisations? Suggestion: Expand on the history of the organisation itself. Why was it establish? When was it established? What notable activities have they done or involved in since?
    3. Executive Board - Excessive, can be removed. Typically only the key people, i.e. president and vice-president, are listed, even then in an {{Infobox company}} template. -- removed the section and added a template
    4. Past boards - Excessive. If included, a list of past presidents is sufficient. -- removed as you said, and kept only the presidents
    5. Activities - unsourced. seems to be a laundry list of activities. Are they notable in the sense of are they covered by third party sources, in the news? -- I added an example (quoting a third party source) for each kind of activity.
    6. HaTikwa - this is a separate entity. the entire section is promotional. Any third party sources describing the history of the publication? If not, a shorter paragraph describing the bare minimum. -- Added third party sources.
    7. Awards - this needs to be backed by third party sources. -- Added the third party sources
    8. Rewibe - is this notable? usually such developments are part the History section. The logos do not seem to be copyright-free and thus also may not qualify for Wikipedia:Non-free content setup as well. -- I removed the logos and put rewibe section under History. – robertsky (talk) 03:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

The Unione Giovani Ebrei d'Italia (UGEI) is a Jewish Italian organization, youth branch of UCEI. It represents all Italian Jews in an age between 18 and 35 years old, as well as all local Jewish youth organizations. Moreover, UGEI holds an observer member status at UCEI's councils meetings and at its quadriennal Congress.

UGEI's main branches are the newspaper HaTikwa and the parties and events department Rewibe.

UGEI is directed by an executive board, elected every year, during the Ordinary Congress. Their duty is to fulfill all the motions and recommendations express during the congressional debate and to organize all the activities and events of the year.[1]

History

The association was created on 21 May 1995 in the Constituent Congress of Milan inheriting the role of FGEI (Federazione Giovanile Ebraica d'Italia), the previous organization coordinating young Italian Jewry since 1949.[2][3]

Since 1995, UGEI has organized an annual Winter Camp, the Ordinary Congress, and other meetings in occasion of Jewish holidays.

In particular, in 2017, UGEI hosted in Florence a gathering of all Jewish youth organizations. The event, called Irua, had its focus in tackling the issues facing Jewish communities in Italy and the various challenges they will encounter in the future.[4]

Also in 2017, UGEI, together with CII - Confederazione Islamica Italiana and the Sant'Egidio Youth Community, has met with the Italian Ministry of Interior, Marco Minniti, in order to promote dialogue and mutual understanding.[5]

Just before the COVID-19 Pandemic, in November 2019, UGEI hosted an international Jewish event called JIR - Jewish International R(h)ome, which goal was to promote networking and coalition building among European Jews.[6]

In 2020, UGEI joined the international campaign Adopt IHRA, to promote institutions and companies to adopt the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) working definition of antisemitsm.[7][8]

UGEI represents Italian Jewish Youth both at a national level, at Consiglio Nazionale Giovani (Italian Youth Forum) and at an international level at EUJS (European Union of Jewish Students) and WUJS (World Union of Jewish Students).[9]

During the 2020 lockdown, the UGEI Board created a department dedicated specifically on event planning and recreational activities, called Rewibe.[10]

HaTikwa

HaTikwa was introduced in January 1949 as a supplement accompanying the magazine “Israel”. Seven issues were published until the publication ceased for 1950/1951. On March 13, 1952, issue #8 was published, still as a supplement accompanying the magazine “Israel”(a. XXXVII, n. 26). From February 12, 1957, HaTikwa was published as an independent magazine as HaTikwa with subtitle Organo della Federazione Giovanile Ebraica Italiana [Voice of the Young Italian Jewish Federation]. At first published as a monthly magazine, it became a bimonthly in 1978.

Right from the start, Ha-Tikwa mirrored the prominent issues percolating through the young Italian Jews such as the Jewish identity and the Israeli politics. It focused also on the main issues of post-war Italian society, in primis anti-fascism and Resistance. In the Sixties and Seventies many articles talked about and discussed the student protest and social movements, as well as the social reform and the referendums on divorce and abortion.

Editor and editorial staff were periodically appointed during the annual FGEI's conference. The editorial board was based, in different periods of time, in Turin, Florence and Rome. After 1980 HaTikwa stopped being published on a regular basis. In 2010 HaTikwa restarts to be published, as a supplement of the Italian Jewish monthly paper magazine “Pagine Ebraiche” and, in digital edition, on the UGEI website.[11]

In June 2020, HaTikwa created the first Italian Jewish podcast, The Jews who made History.[12]

Activities

The Italian Union of Jewish Students and Young Professionals coordinates and unites the Italian Jewish youth associations and all the young Jews of Italy. UGEI has the duty to develop the Jewish awareness of its members and to fulfill this moral obligation operates on various sectors.

Institutional Representation: UGEI represents all Italian Jewish youth associations at the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI) and holds an observer status at UCEI's Council meetings.[14]

Trips and Shabbatonims: For the safeguarding and maintenance of the Italian and European Jewish identity, UGEI organizes various weekends (Shabbattonim) throughout the year to discover the various small communities scattered throughout the country. In addition, UGEI organizes "Trips of the Memory" to symbolic sites of the Shoah, in Italy and abroad.[15] [16]

Culture and Hebrew Language: UGEI spreads knowledge and awareness of Jewish culture and the study of the Hebrew language. UGEI keeps the historical memory of the Shoah alive, so that the new generations can learn from it; UGEI fights all forms of historical falsification and defends the moral heritage of the Resistance to Nazi-Fascism.[17][18][19]

Interreligious Dialogue: UGEI collaborates with all the other religious realities that aim to promote the eternal ideals of peace, freedom, democracy, progress, brotherhood. At the same time, on the basis of mutual and absolute independence and freedom of opinion and action, it collaborates with the representative bodies of Italian Judaism and other national or international Jewish bodies.[20][21]

Seminars and Debates: UGEI organizes seminars and debates to create a platform of encounter, reflexion and enrichment for the young Jews of Italy. [22]

Political Interlocutor: UGEI's activities of ideological and cultural background of the last years have made UGEI a credible and reliable representative within the Italian political world, but always maintaining its original apartitic nature.[23]
