No Tricks AND No Treats!

Well, that's not EXACTLY true, but Halloween is not celebrated in Israel. My mom arranged with the English teacher to come to school and teach a lesson on the American tradition of Halloween - she explained all about the holiday and then the kids tried bobbing for apples and guessing how many candies filled a big jar (winner? Roman guessed it exactly!). Most of them caught apples! My mom's friend on email laughed when she learned that my mom was teaching about bobbing for apples, since nobody really does that in America in the last 50 years: she wrote "what are you - colonial?!" LOL!!
