Join Dr. Benji Davis, Head of Israel Education at Camp Yavneh, for a community conversation on how Israel is taught and experienced at camp. Drawing on his recent study of educator responses to the “You Never Told Me” phenomenon—where day school and Jewish camp graduates claim their educators concealed Israel’s controversies—the conversation will model our Zionist approach to teaching Israel in all its vibrancy and complex reality.
Dr. Benji Davis is an American-born Israeli educator and scholar, currently serving as assistant professor of Jewish education at Yeshiva University’s Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration. He previously served as the 2024–2025 Israel Institute Teaching and Research Fellow at George Mason University. In 2024, he received the Harold Wechsler Award for Emerging Scholars from the Network for Research in Jewish Education (NRJE) for his research on the philosophy and pedagogy of Israel education.
