Join Mikhael Kesher on Mondays at 1pm ET for 30 minutes of learning to enrich your Israel knowledge and connection alongside fellow educators. Whether you're looking for inspiration for your classroom this fall, or looking to build your Israel literacy, this weekly, drop-in, interactive learning space will be a chance to explore cultural artifacts, current events, and other relevant and timely content emerging from Israel.

This pilot program will run for four sessions in summer 2025 and the topic of each session will be communicated ahead of time. Each session stands alone, and no prior knowledge is necessary to attend.
