Feasts & Solidarity

THE FEASTS THAT BRING US TOGETHER

Throughout the Jewish calendar, the Torah invites us to remember, to pass on, to celebrate and to care for one another.

“A feast is only truly complete when everyone can live it with dignity.”

Some feasts do not last the same number of days in Israel and in the Diaspora.
