This Yom Hazikaron: Honor Israel’s Heroes in the classroom

Yom Hazikaron has always been a hard day individually and communally. Bringing it into the classroom can also be challenging, especially since October 7 brought it close to home for so many.  

This year our UED team created a very special film, A Generation of Heroes,  available now, to help bring a personal meaning to Yom Hazikaron. It tells the powerful story of Yaron Chitiz z״l, a 23-year-old Israeli soldier who fell in the Israel–Hamas war. The film is accompanied by an educator guide with thoughtful questions and reflection prompts to help facilitate meaningful classroom discussion.
