Big Ideas

YEAR 1: INTRODUCTION TO SHARED SPACE

  • The State of Israel is the shared space of the Jewish people and simultaneously shares space with multiple peoples.
  • We are a part of the Jewish People, so Israel is also our shared space.

YEAR 2: MULTIPLE NARRATIVES THROUGH MAPS

  • Maps are subjective, interpretive documents through which individuals express their perspectives and beliefs in the context of the time and place in which they live.
  • The map of Israel can be simultaneously historical, political, religious and geographic in showing how space is shared.

YEAR 3: Zionism

  • Jewish connections to Zion and Zionism, the quest for Jewish self-determination, have multiple evolving permutations reflective of the times in which one lives and the realities of living into the dream of Jewish self-determination.
