The Purpose of the Collection
FOUR THEMATIC MODULES
The Pulse of Israel is divided into four thematic modules:
A DEMOCRACY WITHOUT A CONSTITUTION
Explores the institutional makeup of Israel’s government, centered around the idea that in the absence of a constitution, institutional responsibilities in Israel are constantly being negotiated.
A PEOPLE'S ARMY
Engages with the implications of the IDF being a “people’s army”: who must serve?; who doesn’t serve?; what are the implications of mandatory service (and those who are exempted from it) on Israeli politics and society?
A SHARED SOCIETY DIVIDED
Examines how, why, and when Israel becomes divided, exploring challenges and opportunities tied to diversity. This unit features immigration, protest culture, and the Arab citizens of Israel to discuss questions of difference.
ISRAEL AND/IN THE WORLD
(Coming Soon) Surveys Israel’s integration into the broader world, focusing on its efforts to normalize its presence in the Middle East, as well as how and why it engages in cultural, economic, and political diplomacy.
SUB-TOPICS
Each thematic category includes multiple curricular resources that relate to a wide range of specific topics. Additional resources will be released on a rolling basis.
The first sub-topics released include:
ISRAEL AND/IN THE WORLD

The Abraham Accords

TYPES OF RESOURCES
The curricular resources are designed to serve you, the educator. Use the information and activities in each resource to create educational plans that will best serve your learners and your setting. The Pulse of Israel is designed to offer flexibility: you can use the entire resource collection, individual thematic categories, or specific activities.
Individual resources include the following:
FAQs
Include foundational background information, historical context, and definitions of key terms. They help you to attain a level of content knowledge, confidence, and competence in leading complex, informed conversations. Each resource includes a suggested time to share parts of the relevant FAQ in order to prepare learners for the conversations and activities that follow.
Questions Being Asked
Resources include activities and discussion prompts that guide learners to examine many of the questions that Israelis are asking about current events or have asked about historical issues. The activities draw on contemporary multimedia resources and build on the basic information introduced in the FAQ. Select the activities and discussion prompts that best fit their learning environment, and add to them or amend them as needed.
