Yad Ben-Zvi plans and runs programs for all ages: tours and lectures, seminars and workshops, specialized programs for target audiences and more. Our experienced educational staff has programs from kindergarten and pre-school children, through high school to academic students and staff, tour guides and more, as well as military personnel – including commanding staff and senior officers of the Israeli security forces.
We take an in-depth look at Jerusalem and its varied population, the city’s long history and geo-political status – and at Jerusalem’s unique place in history and society, and in Jewish culture and peoplehood. We look at living links to past and present, at the influences of various cultures and religions, and at our own personal ties and lessons. We do all that both in the classroom and out in the field, in the very alleys where you can really feel the city, talk to people, see the marks of generations and influence the future.
Our programs (in Hebrew) include: My Jerusalem, Leading to the Neighborhood, Jewish Peoplehood, Garden of Piyyutim, Trail of Sources, Enchanted City, The Jerusalem Advantage, the Presidential institution, Building a State, and more.
