Hi all, just wanted to share another post I published at Kveller.com, I Was the Only Jewish Kid on the Block & Worry My Kid Will Be, Too.
If you can relate in any way, let me know in the comments!

Let There Be Light 
Thanks for sharing this piece you wrote! Our school made a big deal out of perfect attendance too in the spring, so I understood that desire (I’m still upset about the poison oak I got at Girl Scout camp that ruined my 7th grade attendance). My family is Catholic, but I never realized until I was an adult how lucky I and my friends were in our school district growing up. The High Holidays were school holidays (and so was Good Friday) each year so those were days off for everyone.
Many hopes that your little ones feel proud of their uniqueness and faith – from years of reading your blog, I know they’re certainly being guided well. 🙂
