This post presents a series of fun and educational games and activities about the history and significance of the State of Israel for children from ages 8-12. Created by the Bnei Akiva Religious Zionist youth group, these programs aim to help children understand why it was so important for the Jews in 1948 to have an independent Jewish State, how Jews with different backgrounds and ideologies came together to fight as one nation, and the role of Israel and Yom Ha’atzmaut in the context of the loss, sacrifice and suffering of Jewish history, as marked on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) and Yom Hazikaron.
