Summary
The culture and religious identity of the Jewish people developed in the land of Israel over the course of a 3,500-year history. In this handout by Echoes & Reflections, students trace their journey from forced exile by the Romans centuries ago to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. Students will examine the mandates and partition plans that shaped Jewish return to the land, and study both the efforts to achieve peace and the conflicts that followed.
The handout briefly covers Israel today, including the attacks of October 7th and the current war, and provides a visual map of Israel’s location.
