The Lookstein Center for Jewish Education of Bar-Ilan University, in collaboration with The AVI CHAI Foundation, has launched “Countdown to 70,” a new, free, educational project for grades 1-12 to celebrate Israel’s upcoming 70th anniversary.

Seventy challenges about Israel, offered in four grade levels, will be emailed daily to all individuals and schools that sign up.

The games, which should take about five minutes, will be accessible online for the duration of the celebrations and beyond.

Schools and individuals will even be able to compete with others worldwide, and win points.

Schools and individuals can learn more and/or sign up at any stage of the challenge, at countdown70.lookstein.org/.
