Jewish Museum

n Year 5 we have been learning about Judaism in Religion and on 9th October, we visited a Jewish Museum to investigate and appreciate the Jewish faith. This was carried out through learning about Jewish artefacts such as; The Torah, pointer, calligraphy and scrolls.

Some children experienced the tasting of Jewish foods similar to those celebrated during the Passover (Pesach) meal. Many Year 5 children had an opportunity to learn the Jewish alphabet and afterwards created their names using an old fashioned Jewish quill and ink pot. Throughout the Museum children learned about and appreciated various aspects of Jewish culture including, family life, celebration of faith and a collection of religious events.
