 Like many Jewish schools, Alma Primary in Whetstone held a mock Seder last week — but one with a difference.

Pupils joined schools from North America in an online event to support another school in one of the more remote parts of the Jewish world, Hadassah in Mbale, Uganda.

Opened 20 years ago, Hadassah has increased its roll from 20 to over 400, with Muslim and Christian pupils as well as from Uganda’s Abayudaya Jewish community.

Jeanie Horowitz, Alma’s Jewish learning leader, said the Seder was “set up to raise awareness and funds for Hadassah school.
