We're also giving you access to a downloadable unit from Israel...It's Complicated, the new resource created in collaboration with the Center for Israel Education to help students understand and navigate the complexity of Israeland develop their own personal connections to the modern state.

Israel…It’s Complicated provides both an overview of the Jewish historical connection to the land and a portrait of today’s modern Israeli culture, and at the same time, refuses to shy away from the nuance that Israel navigates. Israel...It's Complicated uses primary documents, real quotes from real people, vivid contemporary photos, and activities relevant to students lives to give them an understanding of the multifaceted place that is Israel today.
