ABSTRACT This article examines the practice of pretend Israel trips in Jewish early childhood education. Jewish early childhood educators who work in markedly different preschool settings, and who have differing beliefs about Israel and Israel education, nonetheless converge on a practice of pretend trips to Israel that remains remarkably stable across settings. This article examines how and why these pretend trips have become part of the “grammar” of Jewish early childhood education, illuminating a practice that is simultaneously beloved and unsatisfying for Jewish early childhood educators who care about early childhood education and Israel education.

“我要去以色列，我需要收拾的只是我的想象力”：在犹太幼儿教育中假装去以色列旅行

摘要 本文考察了在犹太幼儿教育中假装以色列旅行的做法。然而，在截然不同的学前环境中工作的犹太幼儿教育工作者，以及对以色列和以色列教育有不同看法的人，都集中在一种假装去以色列旅行的做法上，这种做法在各种环境中都保持非常稳定。本文探讨了这些假装​​旅行如何以及为何成为犹太幼儿教育“语法”的一部分，阐明了一种既深受关注幼儿教育和以色列教育的犹太幼儿教育工作者又不满意的做法。
