Tel Aviv, December 3 — Israel’s education system will observe a Day of Appreciation for IDF wounded and victims of terror on Sunday, December 7, 2025. Schools will mark the day with value-based activities, personal meetings, emotional preparation, and visits to sites of remembrance and heroism across the country, aimed at teaching students about coping, hope and resilience.
The initiative began with the Bnei Akiva youth movement and later gained government backing. By sharing the stories of the wounded, educators seek to convey the human meaning behind national events and show how personal coping can inspire resilience.
Elementary schools will run activities to honor the wounded, while high schools will host personal meetings with injured soldiers, visit warrior homes and memorial sites, and engage in community projects and volunteer work. The planned sequence of preparation, meeting and processing is intended to help students internalize lessons on personal resilience and civic responsibility.
A national marching day, “Marching and Saluting,” will also take place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, along the Israel Trail as part of the Shelah and Yedi Ha’aretz tours, during which students will meet wounded soldiers in the field to express appreciation and gratitude. (ANI/TPS)
