Am Yisrael

Goal: 1. The Chanichim will understand that the homeland of Am Israel is in Eretz

Israel.

          2. The Chanichim will understand that when we are not in Eretz Yisrael our      qualities are not good as they can be in

Israel.

1) Teach the Chanichim about the diversity of Israeli Culture in the cities around the country.

2) Emphasize the positive traits and values which we can learn from each of these places/sects of Israeli society.

Goals: The chanichim will understand that even though we morn the חורבן, חורבן in itself is the first step of the גאולה.

Goals

1. To learn the story of the

Tower of

Bavel

2. To think about the dispersion of the Jewish people today

3. To consider what linked us together in the past and continues to bind us together today

Background:  Chaluziut is loosely translated as “pioneering” but we will see how the definition can be sharpened.

Goals:The chanichim will be able to define what Chaluziut is.   They will compare the original definition given in Tanach to how modern Zionisim defines “the Chalutz.”  Different characteristics of “the Chalutz” should be discussed.  Does being a Chalutz describe one aspect of life, or is it a philosophy of life?  To what extent are we Chaluzim?  The chanichim will also be able to give examples of individual Chaluzim who have impacted

Israel.
