Artistic Expression
Throughout time people have sought to leave their mark as a
way of making a deep connection to the land, the
people, and the state. Artistic expression is one way to
connect more deeply to an experience.
People turn to the ARTS to express and to connect.

THINK ABOUT...
“We need to present Israel as a work in progress, legitimize competing visions, and remember that machloket, debate and disagreement, has always been an integral—indeed, a defining—element of
the Jewish experience.”
- David Mendelsson The Challenges of Teaching ‘Israel’

Jewish people are two halves of a whole.”

THINK ABOUT...
“Israel is a multi-vocal, multi-layered, textured weave that affords the possiblity for intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social engagement with the Land, People,
and State of Israel in a way that cultivates a rich sense of belonging and commitment to
the Jewish collective.”
- Lisa Grant and Ezra M. KopelowitzIsrael Education Matters, p.22

Musical Expression
This song explores another voice in Israel – the Ethiopian Jews. The lyrics express that they are now literally in the land
of Israel, but they are metaphorically still on the outside.
The song heard here in the background is by Israeli singer Ehud Banai and is called
Avodah Sh’chorah/Black Work.
