IT’S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION
How do the children and youth form their Jewish-Israeli identity? In what ways do educational activities at school affect the children’s sense of belonging and mutuality? We believe that connecting between children, between parents and children, and between the older generation and the future generation, contributes to the formation of good moral values, reinforces identity and encourages volunteering and initiative in the community. We at Habayta work in dozens of schools to deepen children’s connection with their Jewish-Israeli identity. Thousands of students, in dozens of schools, have connected, through our activities, with the Israeli story – each from his/her own point of view, and each with her/his ability to understand.
We invite you to come home with Habayta – to formulate a meaningful program for your students and staff.
No matter where you place your finger on the Jewish calendar, you will land on a Jewish or Israeli holiday or special date. This makes for a great opportunity for us to offer a meaningful educational experience, complementing the school’s program. We offer a variety of activities, creative workshops, fascinating lectures, and journeys along the paths of Jewish stories, in the spirit of Jewish holidays.
Take a break from routine with wonderful experiences!
Habayta offers special events and activity days for schools as a creative and interactive way for meaningful learning, reinforcing Israeli identity and educating in matters of moral and social issues.
We have something special in store for you: an escape room adventure at school, workshops for teachers, unique lesson plans, a virtual reality activity, interactive activities and more. Look around and choose from Habayta’s variety of special activities.
