To teach the chanichim basic things about

Israel that they are familiar with but do not know enough about.

The goal is that the Chanichim will feel part of Am-Yisrael and will understand how big the lost is and how we can help the situation.

Why do we have asara btevet? Beyond that, why do we have to fast?

The chanichim should leave the sicha understanding

(1)   The power of Yom Ha’atzmaut – how all these different Jews came together to fight as an Am and why it was it was so important for the Jews in 1948 to have an independent Jewish State.

(2)   The battle for Yom Ha’atzmaut applies to us today and we can only truly appreciate geulah by looking at Yom Ha’atzmaut as part of a cycle of Yom Hashoah and Yom HaZicaron.
