The city Department of Education is getting a failing grade for mishandling observance of a major Muslim holiday — Eid al-Adha.

Abeer Ghazzawi had little time to visit her two sons' graves for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha before Israeli soldiers cleared the cemetery near the refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

The Hajj, which is required once in a lifetime of every Muslim who can afford it and is physically able to make it, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

New York City Public School students will enjoy a long weekend this week after a new holiday was added to the school calendar for this year. Public Schools will be closed on Thursday in observance of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha followed by a clerical day on Friday.

Days ahead of the Muslim holiday Qurban Bayram or Eid al-Adha, hundreds of Syrian refugees who have lived in Türkiye for years are queuing up at the border gates to celebrate the holiday in their homeland.
