Passover is just around the corner, and Jewish Culture School kids discussed the freedoms they are most thankful for:
to influence our political situation
from fossil fuels
for animals to live without human threats
from chores
to enjoy hobbies without ridicule
to read what you want
to criticize the government
to make decision about our own bodies
