Manchester Jewish Museum trip

8th March, 2011

Children in Form 3 have been studying Judaism in RS this term and on Monday 7th March we went to visit the Manchester Jewish Museum.

We were warmly welcomed and had a guided tour of the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue. We then spent some time working on our projects before Mr Michaelson gave us a demonstration of the Shabbat meal.

Scott Walker played the Father’s role, Molly Bruce played the Mother, Clary Haynes and Zak Nicholas were the children. We were lucky enough to share real Challah bread together just as Jewish people would do on Shabbat.  It was a very interesting trip.
