Dear Teachers,

As some of you may know, if you have any students who identify as Christian in your class, they may be absent while observing the Christian holiday of Christmas.

1/16

Officially, the holiday commemorates the birth of their prophet. In modern times, the holiday incorporates many pagan winter solstice rituals as well.

Some children may believe that a man named Santa Claws (aka St. Nicholas Ha’Kadosh) will visit their house on a sled pulled by flying deer while they are asleep.

Another great MULTICULTURAL HOLIDAY PARTY GUIDE my friend Avital wrote to help #publicschools:

1. Hold in the Northern Hemisphere early spring.

2. Decorate pillowcases or matzah covers with seasonal symbols like wine, matzah, shank bones, eggs, and bitter herbs, for kids to take home to use at their Holiday meal.

2/11

Recognize that kids come from many cultures, include alternate symbols like baskets, ashes, & rabbits for those who celebrate a holiday other than Pesach. These kids may like to stand up front & explain the meaning of these important symbols! They will really feel included!
