Through Israeli Eyes 

Education Resources 

Site Visits near Latrun 

We have compiled resources from organizations that consider this year’s unique and challenging context to provide framing for these National Days. Our goal is to connect the fellows to Israeli society through the frame of the National Days, and through the Israelis they know best: their organizers, madrichim, and coordinators.  Explore below the different resources 

Through Israeli Eyes 

To share the Israeli experience with fellows this year, we don’t need to look far. Fellows can gain deeper understanding of the Israeli National Days through Israelis they already know: their madrichim and coordinators. In this session, we will explore how storytelling and asking the right questions can engage fellows and connect them more deeply with the Israeli narrative surrounding Yom HaShoah, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom HaAtzmaut.
