As time passes, the terrible tragedy of the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin remains as a loss to Israel, the Jewish people, and the entire world. Now we are faced with the task of communicating about these events to our children. As we do our best to offer a curricular response it is important to remember that there are a wealth of resources to help teachers and parents determine the relative topics and appropriate avenues for discussion.
