 <!-- 1. Define what a Jewish festival is. List at least five Jewish festivals mentioned in the Bible and explain their significance. (Examples could include: Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot, Yom Kippur, Purim.) -->
 Help Pathfinders define what constitutes a Jewish festival: typically, a time set apart in the Jewish calendar for remembrance, celebration, or worship.
 Suggested Festivals with Descriptions:
 # Passover (Pesach): Commemorates the Israelites’ deliverance from slavery in Egypt, celebrated with a Seder meal involving symbolic foods and storytelling. Matzah (unleavened bread) represents the haste in leaving Egypt.

 # Purim: A joyful festival based on the Book of Esther. People celebrate with costumes, reading the Megillah (scroll of Esther), and giving gifts to the poor.
 Use a chart comparing name, date, biblical reference, traditions, and key symbolism.

 Use this requirement for a circle reflection or journalling. Encourage youth to identify how shared traditions help form strong community identity.
 '''Example Reflection:''' “I learned that Jewish festivals aren’t just religious events—they’re ways to remember history, share stories, and bring people together. Festivals like Sukkot and Purim include fun, food, and family, but also deep meaning. It made me think about how we as Christians also use traditions to remind us of God’s care and promises.”
