Contextualise: How do Jews show that they belong?

Today, we had a morning workshop with Linda.  She taught us how to make challah bread for Shabbat.  She showed us what Jewish people wear when they go to the synagogue.

We learned the story ‘In the Beginning’ And we recited it.  We learned a Jewish song.

We learned about the rituals of the Shabbat meal;

1. Just before sunset, two candles are lit by the woman of the house.
2. The father or grandfather of the house blesses the children.
3. The father of the house pours wine (or grape juice) into a special cup, says a blessing and passes the wine around.
4. Challah bread is uncovered, cut and sprinkled with salt.
5. Everyone sits down and eats the Shabbat meal.
6. Everyone sits down and eats the Shabbat meal.

Finally, we took part on our own Shabbat meal as a class.
