These educational resources for the Yoms (Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s national days) offer educators adaptable, artistic tools for engaging students during Israel’s national days, especially in these challenging times marked by ongoing conflict and war.
This content from Beit Avi Chai provides meaningful ways to explore the significance of these days and to foster reflection on Israeli and Jewish identity.
With guides on HaTikvah, a playlist of songs of hope, and animated films for Yom HaZikaron, these resources use the arts to encourage expression, reflection, and meaningful conversation. Designed with an acute understanding of today’s realities, these adaptable materials can be used in various educational settings — whether in the classroom or synagogue — and support educators in leading thoughtful discussions about Israel’s history, resilience, and national identity.
