There is nothing like Jewish holidays; the wonderful flavors and taste of home, the special clothes, songs, games, and traditions, which provide the unique family feeling. The holidays are a cornerstone of connections among Jews; all over the world Jewish people celebrate the same holidays and take a part of long-lasting Jewish heritage.
Here is Mason Hillel, we give the Jewish holidays the time, space, and feeling, our students are looking for. Make sure to follow the Jewish calendar and join us for our holiday programs.
