סרט בן 10 דקות על 4 לשונות גאולה, אותם פעלים שמלווים אותנו לאורך ההיסטוריה.

Grades 1-3

Goal:       1. to begin to teach the meaning of the term Or Lagoyim= the Jewish people as a nation have an obligation to act together in a way that presents the positive lessons of Judaism such as compassion, justice and charity to people who are not Jewish so the world as a whole can become a better place.

2. to teach the chaninchim/ot that by working together as a group (as a nation) one can have greater influence and impact than by acting alone Grades 4-8

Goal:  to begin to teach the meaning of the term Or Lagoyim= the Jewish people have an obligation to create a society that reflects the high moral standards of truth, honesty, compassion and justice that Judaism teaches, and this society should be a model for and influence all the nations of the world.

The chanichim will recognize the powerful influence the culture we live in has on our lives, and on our values.

Show how absorption into

Israel is not always simple

1.      The Chanichim will understand the importance of the settling in Eretz Yisrael.

2.      The Chanichim will understand the meaning of our Sisma’ot: “Mi anachnu, ma chayenu, uma sismatenu: am yisrael be’ertz yisrael, al pi torat yisrael.”

1. Shaw the Chanichim different sides in the Israeli character.

2. Have them understand that being Israeli is a very different and better lifestyle. 

To discuss why our tnua is named after Rabbi Akiva, to review the meaning

behind Bnei Akiva rites and rituals.

To have the chanichim think about their roles as siblings, and as siblings with all of Am Yisrael.

Topic: Following the themes of brotherhood in the parshot of Bereshit.

Goal: To have the chanichim think about their roles as siblings, and as siblings with all of Am Yisrael.

Objective:  To expose the chanichim to the different religious, political and social aspects of Israeli society. 

In addition, to give the chanichim an opportunity to think about how and why Israeli society manifests these different views in the ways that it does.  (ie why bumper stickers?)

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.

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