Letter 4 from The Jewish Day Primary School

May 2. 2014

Dear Faraasha,

We noticed that some of your names sound almost the same in Hebrew.  For example, Hawa in Arabic is similar to  Hava in Hebrew and are both the names for Eve. Malik is similar to melekh in Hebrew which also means king or master.

This year it snowed a lot, and it was very cold! We were wondering, how many people are in your grade? We have 48 people in our grade. Do you have different levels for some classes? we do.

Do you also have cows not just goats, chickens and sheep? Do most of you live on a farm? What foods do you eat in Senegal? Have any of you been to the USA? None of us have been to Senegal. Hope you get back to us soon!

                                       Sincerely, Trailblazers
