#DearTeachers,
I hope your #Pesach preparations are proceeding apace! As we all prepare for Pesach, some of our #Christian students and staff may be preparing for their own week of holidays, which, however, does not coincide with Pesach.
The week commemorates the last week before the Christian prophet Yeshu's execution.

In Yerushalayim, Christians visit the Har Ha’Bayit in commemoration of their prophet's disruption of foreign exchange businesses. However, gelt is not eaten in remembrance of this day.
