in belgium, mother's day ("moederdag" or "moederkesdag" in dutch and "fête des mères" in french) is celebrated on the second sunday of may. in the week before this holiday children make little presents at primary school, which they give to their mothers in the early morning of mother's day. typically, the father will buy croissants and other sweet breads and pastries and bring these to the mother while she is still in bed – the beginning of a day of pampering for the mother. there are also many people who celebrate mother's day on 15 august instead; these are mostly people around antwerp, who consider that day (assumption) the classical mother's day and the observance in may an invention for commercial reasons. it was originally established on that day as the result of a campaign by frans van kuyck, a painter and alderman from antwerp.
mother's day
the jewish population of israel used to celebrate mother's day on shevat 30 of the jewish calendar, which falls between 30 january and 1 march. the celebration was set as the same date that henrietta szold died (13 february 1945). henrietta had no biological children, but her organization youth aliyah rescued many jewish children from nazi germany and provided for them. she also championed children's rights. szold is considered the "mother" of all those children, and that is why her annual remembrance day (יום השנה) was set as mother's day (יוֹם הָאֵם, yom ha'em). the holiday has evolved over time, becoming a celebration of mutual love inside the family, called family day (יוֹם הַמִשְּפָּחָה, yom hamishpacha). this holiday is mainly celebrated in preschools with an activity to which parents are invited. mother's day is mainly celebrated by children at kindergartens. there are no longer mutual gifts among members of the family, and there is no longer any commercialization of the celebration. it is not an official holiday.
