For many Jews in North America this year, it is particularly important, poignant, and/or challenging to mark Israeli Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut. As you gather this week, for Shabbat, at Hebrew School, or in celebration of the holiday, or as you wind down your day, Moving Traditions offers you some questions to spur conversation with family and friends.

These questions can be shared aloud and used for group discussion or dialogue between a few family members. Try to choose at least one from each section. We encourage you bring a spirit of curiosity and openness as you engage in cross-generational dialogue.
