Answer:
Jewish festivals, originating in antiquity, are observed in Israel intensively and in many ways. They are manifested in traditional and nontraditional customs and practice, and they leave their imprint on diverse aspects of national life. The Jewish festivals are the “landmarks” by which Israelis mark the passing of the year. They are very much a part of daily life: on the street, in the school system and in synagogues and homes around the country.
