Examines how, why, and when Israel becomes divided by exploring challenges and opportunities tied to its diversity. The collection highlights immigration, protest culture, and the Arab citizens of Israel to engage with questions of difference.

This module is divided into three sections:

  • Immigration and Integration

    • Millions of Jews have immigrated to Israel since 1948. Who are they, when did they arrive, and how have they integrated culturally and politically? How is their heritage and legacy ultimately remembered or forgotten?

  • People and Protests

    • Civic activism is a cornerstone of Israeli society. What kinds of protests have taken place in Israel, why have Israelis protested, and what are the symbols and language of Israeli protest movements?

  • Arab Citizens of Israel

    • Israel’s diversity goes far beyond its Jewish community. Representing more than 20% of the population, Arab citizens of Israel are key to Israeli society. Who are they, how do they identify, and what challenges do they face?
