Jewish Holiday Customs Around the World for the Classroom

Shalom:
As many of you know, I am in Providence, accompanying my husband on his Sabbatical at Brown University. I am using this year to travel the country, giving presentations on my books at JCCs, Jewish Day Schools and Hebrew Schools. What has struck me is the year-round interest in my book Passover Around the World. This Sydney Taylor Honorable Mention (2008) has 8 original stories revolving around Passover customs in America, Israel, Gibraltar, Turkey, Ethiopia, India, Iran and Morocco. It also has a “Potpourri” section that includes an additional six customs from around the globe. From the moment this book hit the bookstore shelves, the enthusiasm has been tremendous. So much so, that my publisher Kar-Ben/Lerner commissioned me to do a second book – Hanukkah Around the World – which is scheduled to appear Fall 2009. As my book writing credo is “Added Value”, I have decided to extend it even further by creating a blog dedicated to Jewish Holidays Around the World. Approximately a month before each holiday, I will describe and explain one unusual custom from a foreign land. Interested?
