This semester, we explored Jewish Holidays and how they are celebrated in different places around the world. We communicated online with students in Israel, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa to ask about their holiday customs and to learn a bit about what their lives are like. Many thanks to our JPals and their teachers! And a special thank you to the parents who helped with cooking, shlepping, clean-up, etc!
