Jewish Identity and Israel: An Israel Literacy Program For Jewish Teens

Teens:

Talking about Israel can feel really challenging. . . but it doesn’t have to be.

Together we’ll dive into the concept of Israel as “home,” gain insights into the historical background of Zionism, encounter the diversity of modern Israeli society, engage with Palestinian history, and confront the major points of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian reality.

By creating an inclusive and exploratory learning environment, we help you develop your own nuanced
perspectives and foster a sense of pride and belonging within Jewish community.

Parents:

How do we equip young people with the skills and confidence to engage thoughtfully with one of
the most important issues in Jewish life today: Israel?

Moving Traditions’ new Jewish Identity and Israel curriculum offers an educational journey for teens, supporting them in understanding the modern state of Israel, navigating the complexities of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian reality, while exploring their Jewish identity and personal values.

Grappling with the complexities of our Jewish homeland has never been more important. With the memory of the events of October 7 still fresh and the current events in the Middle East, it is clear that we need to help the teens in our communities make sense of the world around them. Our Jewish identity and Israel track is uniquely positioned to do just that.
