While history is about what happened in the past, memory is about how that past drives our present and our future. As Avraham says, If history is prose, memory is poetry.

Jewish life and language is filled with opportunities to remember our past - "lizkor" and "zikaron" in Hebrew - so that the present can be a strong bridge to the future.

 

Below you will find videos clips of Avraham talking about the concept of Jewish memory, and links to responses of Jewish educators to these ideas.
