As we approach Yom Hazikaron, we've created an educator’s guide to the short film, “Siren”.
The film follows the adventures of Eli, an Israeli high school kid who tries to find his place in society during Israel’s Memorial Week for the victims of the Holocaust and fallen soldiers.
Based on a popular short story by Israeli author Etgar Keret (and available to stream on IZZY), "Siren" is the story of what Israel is, what it could be, and what it should be.
