Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut offer a moment to pause and ask: What visions of Israel do we want to share with our learners? How can our programs help them feel rooted in meaning and inspired by purpose?
Yamim 2026 invites educators to explore Israel through the visions and values of its early thinkers and leaders — and consider what those ideas can teach us today.
Participants will gain access to cutting-edge resources and methodologies to make meaning from the many crossroads Israel and Israel education face today — along with fresh ideas, tools, and inspiration to bring directly into their Yamim programming — and beyond.

Many of us are focused on Israel education throughout the year and takeaways from this day of learning can be applied at any time. Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut are a prime opportunity to zoom out from the day-to-day to imagine and clarify our visions for Israel education with a concrete opportunity to teach towards that vision during this year’s Yamim. That will be our starting point and we encourage attendees to apply their learnings far more broadly.
