Fast approaching is the holiday Eid Al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice. During this holiday, Muslims celebrate the Prophet Abraham's faith in God as demonstrated by his willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Since God saved Ishmael and Abraham sacrificed a sheep instead, Muslims celebrate similarly and enjoy wonderful meals of sheep's meat. This is also a time to share the meat with those less fortunate so many people who regularly do not eat meat are able to. People go to Eid Prayer and later partake in huge dinners where the children receive gifts.
For the school's break, Marianna, Sophie, and I will be traveling to Israel (Jerusalem and Tel Aviv). We are very excited and will have many pictures to share!
