The Yamim Project: A Resource for Reflection & Discussion

How will he Jewish holidays be different this year, with many hostages still in captivity?

This year, in anticipation of Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut in a post October 7th world, the M² team commissioned designer Eli Kaplan Wildmann to create evocative artwork which can be used as a facilitation tool to engage learners in the experiences and feelings they have encountered during the past months. Unfortunately, we are now nearing the one year anniversary of October 7th, and these questions are still very much present. We invite you to use these postcards / posters also as a way to engage with the questions of memory and independence in a situation where we still have over 101 people being held captive in Gaza.
