This list is valuable for helping learners appreciate the connections between Israel and the Diaspora and the importance of remaining engaged with Israel even among those in the Diaspora who have no interest in ever making aliyah. Also, as with the other Israel@75 lists, educational value can come from exploring others who perhaps should be on the list instead of others. In an specific country, learners can focus on the members of the list from that country and discuss whether their influence has been positive or negative. In short, showing how people with whom students are familiar fit into the Zionist story can help those students see themselves in that story.
