The
program offer to the participants the opportunity to have an original
view of the historical period that lead to the establishment of the
State of Israel.
Through
identification, imagination, activities and personal research the
students get to know key leadership personalities who lead the small
Jewish community at the time of the establishment of the State. Each
participant gets to know one personality and he follows him all the
way until at the end he knows him from different aspects. The
participant gets to know historical sources and he participates in
role playing with controlled imagination so as to be able to complete
the historical picture.
The program concludes with a study visit to places where the chosen
personality actually worked. In the course of the visit the
participants express the knowledge and the impressions they
internalized, the stories of the personalities in the sites where they
acted. In this way the ties between past and present are strengthened,
reality and imagination, while the participants see Eretz-Israel from
the beginning of the 20th Century in parallel to the
present Israeli reality.
