They really do deserve all the vacations!
All the bais yaakovs, iriya gans, etc are off Sunday and Monday. Definitely in the Yerushalayim area!
#4, um the teachers just had tons off for pesach!
…and in Israel, they were just off on Yom Haatzmaut too! And shortly Erev Shavuos, Shavuos, and Isru Chag…for a 25 hour chag. It’s getting ridiculous, the disparity between school vacations and working ones!
I’m all for a breather for the kids, but coming off of a 3 week break, to a day off, and two days off, and then three days off, all within 2 months, is too much.
