Yom Ha'Atzmaut 2020 learning and celebration; getting your game plan ready.
During this time of social distance from community, we have an opportunity to cultivate our students’ connections to their larger Jewish community – the State, people, and land of Israel. Rich Walter, VP of Curriculum and Outreach at the Center for Israel Education, shares his knowledge, resources, and practical ideas that can be directly applied to your Yom Ha'Atzmaut teaching and celebration, and we hear from practitioners who have recently reinvented their plans to deliver content-rich and meaningful learning experiences virtually.
