Who made this
Our People is a Jerusalem-based organisation working with Russian-speaking families across Israel — some who arrived decades ago, many in the last two or three years, most of them with suitcases and very little else.
Their children are bright and funny and completely at sea. A great number of them have never sat at a Rosh Hashana seder in their lives, and have never eaten a meal in a sukkah. They know they are Jewish the way you know a fact about yourself that nobody ever explained to you.
We are the ones who set those tables. Holiday meals, camps, learning, trips, and the slow ordinary work of making a child feel they belong to something older and larger than the apartment they live in. Every idea in this guide, we are doing this month with children whose parents do not yet know how — and very often teaching the parents at the same time.
