Jewish and Israel education have changed since October 7, requiring adaptability, empathy, and vulnerability from educators. The emotional and political landscapes are more complicated, and traditional teaching tools feel insufficient. Empathy and active listening are crucial in creating safe spaces for learners to express their emotions and process them together. Educators need flexible curriculum that addresses trauma, resilience, and the complexity of the current moment. The focus should be on helping learners build emotional and intellectual muscles to navigate their Jewish identities and Israel.
