Pictures Symbol Communication for the Jewish Holidays

In addition to those sources listed below, a good source for Jewish holiday and customs pictures is Google Images http://images.google.com and Israeli Google http://www.google.co.il/

When you get to http://www.google.co.il click on the second button from the right (with the word "temunot"-pictures- in Hebrew). When you reach the next screen you can then type your search term in English (although the letters will appear from the right in the Google search window) and then click enter on your computer or "chafes temunot" (find pictures) in Hebrew located to the side of the search space on your screen. Please be aware that Israeli Google may not work with all English language browsers.

In addition, please feel free to use the resources from one of our Haifa partners, Ofer School.
