A Guide for Teens to Better Understand Israel at War
Resources from Unpacked
War is always complicated. Unpacked’s mission has always been to bring context, clarity and nuance to complex situations in ways that are easy to digest. This selection of videos, podcasts and articles is a great place to start.
Teen Israel Leadership Institute
Program from CIE (Center for Israel Education)
Israel education for Jewish teens is a vital piece of the work we do at the Center for Israel Education (CIE), understanding that, regardless of politics, Israel is intrinsic to Jewish and non-Jewish identities. The CIE Teen Israeli Leadership Institute connects high school students with content and context to build individual capacities to learn, belong and own Israel’s story.
