This year, the significance of commemorating Yom Hazikaron and celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut will reach a new level of importance, especially with a rise in antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
Federation CJA is partnering with M2, the Institute for Experience Jewish Education, to bring the Yamim Project to Montreal. Leaders and educators who register for this interactive day-long learning and lab, will explore designing impactful Yom Ha’Zikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut experiences for your students, teens and other community members.
Together we will:
· Reflect on the significance of the Yamim this year and process our experiences since October 7th.
· Learn about the role of collective memory, tradition and community.
· Work alongside peers in a collaborative environment that unlocks creativity and fosters a sense of shared purpose.
· Gain access to ready to use art, videos, texts, rituals, and more to use in planning your own ceremonies, lessons or discussions.
· Walk away with ideas, plans and materials to plan compelling programs for your schools, synagogues and communities.
We also strongly encourage you to come with a partner from your organization.
