Celebrations

Table of Content

2.1. Introduction
This chapter shows some of the most important Jewish celebrations – Pesach (Passover), Yom Kippur and Chanukkah. These holidays show a lot about the roots of the Jewish culture and traditions and how religion is intertwined in everyday life of Jewish people, no matter where they are living in the world. The celebrations are a strong part of the connection to the old knowledge, traditions and relations that keep the Jewish community united.

The celebrations presented in this chapter are described both as historical roots and as contemporary manifestation of the Jewish religion. The pictures and videos can help the teachers and students on the one hand understand better the importance of the celebrations and on the other to be able to connect to Jewish people/students in a better way.
