About 6 weeks into the school year, BSM's class celebrated finishing Parshat Bereshit. (That's difference #1 right there: 6 weeks for the little Hebrew-speakers vs. a year (?) for typical American kiddos.) Accordingly, parents were asked to send in food for the requisite class party. I remember these parties from growing up mainly for the food: chips, pretzels (lame!), chocolate, fruit-by-the-foot (yum!), soda...
So I could only laugh and shake my head at the list sent out for the Israeli party:
2 cans corn
2 cans pickles
4 cans tuna
30 pitas
3 plates of cut vegetables
20 hard-boiled eggs
1 package of spoons
2 sleeves of plastic cubs
1 package of plates
1 roll of plastic tablecloths
1 sweet dessert
The kids loved it, though, and I appreciate it as a parent, too.
