Our National Identity

In Tel Aviv we will tour Neve Tzedek
As we pass through the train station
and other sites we connect to the Tel Aviv story

At Israel’s National Cemetery, the burial place of prominent national figures
and fallen soldiers, we discuss the Jewish State and how it was envisioned

Our dreams guide us through our lives
We will learn to believe in our personal dreams
and through them connect to the Zionist dream

Through games and riddles we learn about the people
who established and influenced the Jewish State

Why not Uganda?
Today’s generation questions our existence in the Jewish State
In response we will delve into our deep connection to the land and the State

At this significant site from the War of independence,
the students hear the story of the battle
and through odt games learn about leadership and cooperation

Judaism — to whom does it belong?
What is my connection to it personally and nationally?
We will examine our individual and national identity

What does Jerusalem mean to me?
Why did we pray for 2000 years to return to it?
We will connect to Jerusalem’s history and heart

The students tour this National Memorial site
hear about the famous battle, and the soldier’s courage and heroism
