A meaningful educational activity lasting 2–4 days throughout the country, built around the connection between the past and the present, and between memory and contemporary reality. The journey begins in the present day in Israel, particularly in the wake of the events of October 7, and traces back to the memory of the Holocaust—while highlighting the similarities and differences between the two periods.
The journey takes in memorial sites, heritage sites, and museums, and includes accommodation, travel between different geographical areas, and continuous guidance.. The trip is structured according to a set rationale and itinerary, and includes specific adjustments in consultation with the school, combining the pedagogical emphases of the educational staff with those we offer.
The journey seeks to stimulate a profound personal and group process through physical, emotional, and conceptual experiences. Its goals include deepening historical understanding of the Holocaust, connecting personally to its memory, examining Jewish and Israeli identity through the lens of the past and present, and internalizing the significance of memory in Israeli society today.
The methodology is diverse and combines training, tours, discussions, games, group activities, ceremonies, workshops, open dialogue, and role-playing, with the aim of stimulating emotional connection and promoting moral and social responsibility. Participants are invited to grapple with dilemmas, ask questions about morality, pluralism, statehood, and humanity—and emerge from the journey with personal insights and a desire to take action.
