Holidays and the fun, special, and delicious ways people like
to celebrate them. This year, Ramadan, Easter, and Passover all
happen around the same time. What are some things they

in a long time. My jalab will be perfect for you.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
It's refreshing.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Why will it be perfect?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Billy wants to know, Well, jalab is the kind of
drink people like to have after they fast all day
for Ramadan.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
What's round again?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's a holiday?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Oh? Ramadan is a holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That's right, Lisa and Callie. It's an important holiday for
people who are Muslim, and it includes fasting.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
So does everyone run fast during Ranada? I can run fast.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Actually, this is a different kind of fast. It's not
about running quickly.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Fast also means not eating or drinking.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Not eating or drinking. Why would anybody do that?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Well, people fast during the many days of Ramadan so
they can spend extra time doing nice things for others,
thinking quietly and feeling grateful.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But little kids don't usually fast.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Fasting means not eating. Yep, and guess what I learned
for Ramadan? People fast when the sun goes up all
the way until it gets dark.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Woa.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, Billy has been fasting for at least an hour.
Billy wants to try the gelop drink. He says it
tastes delicious, and refreshing.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
That's just what I was all being for.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Did you know that people often end their fast by
eating YENGI dates? I knew that, But my assignment before
the Spring Celebrations Fair was to make a drink, and
I made July.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Well, I brought something too.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
What did you bring, Elliott?
Speaker 5 (03:24):

for Jewish people.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is it mozzo?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Nope? Well kind of wait? What's matzo?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Mozzo is a big flat cracker that people eat during Passover. Oh,
if you didn't bring monzo, but you kind of did
bring monzo, then I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Sure what you brought.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
I brought fried monso. It's like mozzo but better. What
in the world is fried motzo. It's mozzo and eggs together.
It's kind of like smashed up.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
French toast motsa style that sounds good?

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Maybe just one middle ear?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You all brought something to share at the Spring Celebrations Fair.
And the things you brought are for three different holidays.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, and the holidays all have their own additions. Oops,
I mean traditions.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Traditions are the ways people celebrate or the kinds of
things they like to do.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Holidays have tons of traditions.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Like eating special foods yep, and other things too.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
What other things?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
During Easter, kids hunt all around for hidden Easter eggs.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's a tradition.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And during Passover kids hunt all around for a hidden
piece of mazzo called the afi coma.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
That's another tradition, different but kind of similar. Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Ramadan also has a tradition that's just for kids. It's
not a hunting game, though, what is it? In some
countries in the middle of Ramadan, kids put on special
clothes and.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Walk through the neighborhoods singing songs. Then everyone gives them candy.
It's called Garghian.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
That that's fun.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, that's true. Billy.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Family is a big part of all these holidays, especially
spending time together. Each family has their own traditions too.
