The Visions of Jewish Education Project in Israel is currently working in the following areas:

Publishing Visions of Jewish Education in Hebrew as מדברים חזון- הזמנה לדיון בתכלית החינוך היהודי (Keter Publishing 2006)

Running demonstration sites for vision in Israeli education, which have been in place for the past several years at:

Shevach Moffet High School in South Tel Aviv for children of Russian-speaking immigrants
Hamidrasha Center for Jewish Renewal at Oranim College in Tivon
Beit Daniel Center for Progressive Judaism and its kindergarten program in cooperation with the Municipality of Tel Aviv - click here to read about the Milat Ha-Shavua / Word of the Week program;

Working in one area of formal education in Israel as a starting point for research and development in vision; we have chosen the teaching of history, which includes the informal system of history education in Israel as well. Our work in this area includes a conference on The Teaching of History in Israeli Formal and Informal Education; and

Working with the various programs of the Mandel Leadership Institute to include VJEP materials and initiatives in the curriculum of the MLI.

One of the curricular units already produced through the Shevach Moffet demonstration site is an educational unit on the theme of the binding of Isaac in Israeli art. We are happy to provide access to this unit, which includes 108 images, as well as suggestions and instructions for how to use the images in classrooms with programs such as Powerpoint and Windows Picture: עקדת יצחק בראי האמנות .
