How do you think the series should end? Why? • Which is the character you have most respect for? Why?
Name three things that you know now about Israel and Israeli society that you didn’t know at the start of the series. • Name an assumption you had about Israel and Israeli society that shifted through watching the series. • Name an assumption you had about Israel and Israeli society that has been further confirmed.
You will have noticed several recurring images that play throughout the series - windows, tall buildings, going up/down, parent-children, insider-outsider, touch, and more... Choose one, and use it to describe your relationship with Israel. [“like looking through a dirty window”, “always inviting me inside”, “my elevator is stuck”, “like a gentle stroke” , “like a slap in the face”…etc]
