Whenever we talk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights: Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of

gifts!

Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “ hot and cold ” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gifts, our parents say “hot” and when we walk further away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.

Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just places a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.

Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!

4. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali?

A. Because he lives in a rich family.

B. Because he lives in two different countries.

C. Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.

D. Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.

5. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A kind of Hanukkah game.

B. A kind of Hanukkah gift.

C. A can of festival drink.

D. A riddle written on lights.

6. We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali ________.

A. share the same history and culture

B. are celebrated by both Jews and Indians

C. are both related to the legend of lights

D. encourage the families to do their prayers

7. What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali?

A. She enjoys celebrating both of them.

B. She does mind spending them.

C. She likes Hanukkah better.

D. She likes Diwali better.

Hello London Foodies!

I’m kicking off this week’s blog by talking about a fantastic new Turkish restaurant in Soho called Moda. I can’t remember ever eating better dolma or hummus --- it was so delicious! The chef insists that fruit and vegetables are brought over every day from Turkey --- and from nowhere else. He may be a perfectionist, but it was so delicious that I can’t complain. Moda isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.

And I’ve got great news for you. When I told him that I write a food blog, he said he’d give all my readers a 10% discount! Just mention this blog when you book.

A very different restaurant, where I had lunch last Monday, is Chez Fitz. Situated near Leicester Square, its main selling point is that its food is all locally sourced (within 30 kilometers of the restaurant). My friends and I were completely surprised --- we had no idea that so much could be grown so close to
