The late Constantine Papada-
kis, Drexel’s president in 1998,
supported the development of
the program after taking a trip
to Israel. He was impressed by
the start-up culture of the coun-
try and wanted to create a co-op
program for students to work
there. Though learning about
Judaism is not necessary to go
to Israel, Peltz noted, Papada-
kis wanted to create the Judaic
Studies program to encourage
students to participate in the
co-op program.
Peltz based the program
on similar curriculum in oth-
er schools, with introducto-
ry courses on Jewish biblical
history, medieval history and
modern history.

Roy book, e Ministry of Utmost Hap-
piness, which is set in India.
e hostess, who happens to be
of Indian descent, organized a menu
featuring a variety of dishes that
thematically re ected the book — a
full Indian bu et. She asked me to bring dessert.
Normally, this is a short order for me. I love sweets
and happily whip up something that ts the menu and the
crowd. But this assignment was a bit more challenging. I
adore Indian food; the spice, the complexity, the variety of
avors and textures intrigue me, but the desserts from the
subcontinent are something else entirely.
I have never managed to acquire a taste for traditional Indian
desserts. But I was determined to create some sweets that both
honored the Indian menu and my hostess but also pleased my
taste buds.
With that in mind, I planned to create Western-style desserts
with Indian avors. Using spices like ginger, cardamom, cinna-
mon and chili, I added an exotic zing to brownies, blondies and
pound cake. e results were quite tasty. e good news: Every-
one loved them. e bad news: I am on dessert duty in perpetuity.
INDIAN-SPICED BROWNIES Vaaseenaa/Thinkstock
I’ve ri ed on these before for the Mexican palate —
using the chilis and cinnamon only. e addition of
cardamom takes these heavenly squares east and
gives them a bit more exotic avor.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia
mobilizes financial and volunteer resources to
address the communities’ most critical priorities
locally, in Israel and around the world.
A Room is Not Enough: Visionary Educator
Dalia Fadila
Throughout Israel70, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia
is hosting a year-long speaker series called Israeli Change Makers, in
which social innovators from Israel will share their insights on topics
at the heart of contemporary cultural conversations. Join us at Gratz
College on Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. to hear from revolutionary
educator Dalia Fadila. This program is supported by the Harry Stern
Family Institute for Israel Studies at Gratz College.
“IN THE ARAB SYSTEM of education in Israel, who makes
up 99.999 percent of teachers? Women. 100 percent of the
cleaners? Women,” said Dalia Fadila, director of Al-Qasemi
College for Science and Engineering and founder of Q-Schools. “But
the headmaster is a man. The vice headmaster is a man. The parent
committees are made up of fathers.”
This disparity was on her mind in the early 2000s when, while
helping her fifth-grade daughter read a collection of stories for
homework, Fadila was upset to find few stories featuring female
protagonists. Her conclusion? “The paradigm has to be broken, and
immediately.”
With a Ph.D. in literature, Fadila saw books as her opportunity
to do just that. She wrote her own collection of schoolbooks, with
equal representation of male and female characters, and in which the
female characters aren’t assigned exclusively to the roles of mothers performing of Tira, Israel; Nazareth; Jaljulia; Tayibe; East Jerusalem; Ramallah; and Amman,
