With everything going on in Israel over the last two years, it’s been natural for educators to focus heavily on current events. But November is the perfect time to step back and teach the bigger picture. So many pivotal moments in Israel’s history happened in November, from the Balfour Declaration to the UN Partition Plan—making this the ideal month to teach Israel not only through today’s headlines, but through its broader story.
This year, Israel History Month is all about zooming out. We’ve created a new collection of resources addressing the major events in November, and brand-new posters highlighting maps of Israel and key Zionist leaders for you to hang in your classrooms, and school hallways.
Let’s help students not only process the present, but also understand Israel’s past in all its nuance and depth.
November has been a turning point in Israel’s history — explore resources to help students unpack key events, their contexts, and their lasting impact on the Zionist story.
Empower your teaching with classroom posters that help students explore Israel’s evolving maps and the leaders who shaped its history.
Unpack the century-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict through our video and resources examining key turning points—from the 1948 war and refugee crisis to the 1967 Six-Day War, Oslo peace efforts, and the rise of Hamas.
