It's now easier to talk about Israel and how it feels to be Jewish
להיות ישראלי, להיות יהודי - בואו נדבר על זה
David Cards invites participants to embark on a journey of self-reflection, exploring three key relationships:
1
Judaism and Me
2
Israel and Me
3
World Jewry and Me
Engage in meaningful conversations with David Cards and lead honest and open conversations about the participants' connections to their Jewish identity, Israel, and other Jews around them.
The illustrations explore various aspects of identity and belonging by examining an imaginary relationship between the 'Star of David' symbol and a fictional character that resonates with a broad audience.

How does it work?
Participants are asked to imagine the relationship between them, and the Star of David (Magen David) depicted in the illustrations in front of them.
The Star of David can be used to symbolize Judaism, Israel, Israeli Jews, or the global Jewish community. Each round, the educator redesignates the meaning of the Star of David, changing the focus of the discussion accordingly.
This educational tool was developed by Yoni Alon, and illustrated by the Israeli artist, Sapir Wiener Aviv.
David Cards was created as a joint program with the support of the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and AMI - The National Alliance Strengthening Israelis' Connection to World Jewry.
