Zionist Congress- Jewish Studies 5-7

Students in 5-7 grades have presented the first Zionist Congress as a final project of our Jewish Studies class about Zionism.

They have learned so much about Jewish life in the world of the 19th century, about the problems and challenges of Jews around the world and about their culture and religion. The students conducted a research process learning about the life of the Jews in 5 different countries: USA, France, Germany, Syria and Israel. They prepared beautiful visual presentations, wrote speeches presenting their ideas, and even cooked traditional foods of their countries (such as crepes, matza brei and sahlab).
Finally, the representatives of all the countries gathered to present and share their ideas about the future of Jews. . With the leadership of Theodor Herzl, represented by one of the students, they all voted in favor of establishing an independent Jewish state.
The students had a great learning experience and were really able to show how much they learned in an active and engaging way. Well done!
