Our 8th grade students studied the five Aliyot to Israel and the establishment of the Zionist movement. They learned about the political and historical motivations behind each Aliya, their achievements and failures, and their respective role in establishing today's Medinat Yisrael. They learned about the historical events and Jewish leaders that lead our nation to build a Jewish state in Eretz Israel. To conclude the topic, each student chose an historical topic or person, they researched that topic, and then presented it through a poster or digital presentation.
Watch the students, currently on their 8th grade trip in Lake George, celebrating Yom Yerushalayim with singing around the bonfire.
