We had a fantastic time at the Jewish Museum.
We took part in the Totally Torah workshop where we discovered why the Torah is central to Jewish life, how it is looked after and celebrated. We also had the opportunity to see Torah scrolls from around the world and have a go at being a scribe using a quill and ink to write letters of the Hebrew alphabet! After lunch, we took part in the Shabbat Shalom workshop where we discovered why Jewish people observe Shabbat, the Sabbath day, and how it is celebrated both religiously and culturally. We had the opportunity to explore Shabbat rituals and traditions and the symbolism of the artefacts adorning the Shabbat table.
We had a brilliant day. Thank you to the parents who helped us on the day!
