“And the Haggadah to your son” – the ancient imperative that starred in Passover’s Haggadah is not just an instruction to tell the story of the Exodus. He is the axis around which all our educational mission – to move the torch. To tell, explain, to inspire the next generation to understand who he is, where he comes from, and where he is going.

In Israeli society, it seems that the days between Passover and Independence Day are a modern fulfillment of your son. Every year, we pass through Passover, Holocaust Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day – from four different nights, one chain is embroidered: a story of redemption, of pain, sacrifice and resurrection. In each of these days we ask ourselves and tell our children – what does a Jew mean in this generation.
