How Do American Jewish Children Think About Israel?

Sivan Zakai portrait

How Do American Jewish Children Think About Israel?
with Sivan Zakai, Ph.D.

Sara S. Lee Associate Professor of Jewish Education at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion
April 27, 7:30 pm ET Online

How do Jewish children in the U.S. think, feel, and learn about Israel? And how ought the adults who love children—their parents, grandparents, educators, and clergy—talk with them about Israel in developmentally appropriate ways? Drawing upon the first longitudinal study of American Jewish children's thoughts about Israel, this talk will spotlight how Jewish children develop an understanding of Israel and its relationship to American Jewish life, illuminating how children's ideas, beliefs, and opinions about Israel evolve as they grow.  

Sivan Zakai is the Sara S. Lee Associate Professor of Jewish Education at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles. In addition to directing the Children's Learning About Israel Project and co-directing Project ORLIE: Research and Leadership in Israel Education, she serves as a senior editor of the Journal of Jewish Education and as a member of the faculty at the Mandel Teacher Educator Institute. Her book, My Second-Favorite Country: How American Jewish Children Think About Israel, received the 2022 National Jewish Book Award in education and Jewish identity.
