RE:Israel- Reflect. Reframe. Reconnect.

Reframing Israel Education for a New Era

Tuesday, February 24 | 9:00 am-2:00 pm

How do we teach, talk about, and engage with Israel in the aftermath of Oct 7?

We invite you to join colleagues from across the community for a timely, energizing day of learning, reflection, and connection.

RE:Israel is a dynamic half-day convening for educators, communal professionals, and lay leaders seeking thoughtful, nuanced, and practical approaches to Israel education in today’s complex reality. Parents are welcome to join as well, as key figures in their children’s Jewish/Israel education as well as their own. Through high-level conversation and hands-on learning, participants will gain new perspectives, tools, and language to bring back to their communities.
