Introducing an amazing new resource

Article: Two brothers, David and Raphael Isaac, were frustrated that so many courses on college campuses supposedly teach the history of Israel were actually teaching misinformation or lies. So they set out to collect old footage and make a website, that presented accurate history. As a result, they came up with http://www.zionism101.org/, a new website with scholarly data, priceless narrated footage, and videos on all aspects of the history. After creating a login, anyone can go in to learn about Israel.

Check it out with your kids and begin watching history: http://www.zionism101.org/. It is truly an amazing resource for all of us!

For instance, check out this video on the first aliyah to Israel--which shows Zerach Barnett, my husband's great-great-great grandfather and one of the early founders of Israel! 

Kids: How can this website education people? How can it be used by teachers? How can it help Israel?
