Authentic Voices

At a time when we tend to consume news that is packaged, filtered, sometimes theoretical, or even hypothetical, we should take a step back. One thing that we really need, and what our learners need, is to hear authentic voices, the words and experiences of those on the ground.

The iCenter is compiling interviews, conversations, and stories that bring forth the voices of different sectors of Israeli society, their experiences, their struggles, and their hopes during this immensely difficult and pivotal moment.
