Today Class 1 found out about the weekly Jewish celebration of Shabbat.
We pretended to be guests at a Jewish house so we could follow what happens there on a Friday evening every week.
We heard some of the prayers said and found out about the sequence of events and the symbolism involved.
Mostly we enjoyed tasting the bread and dipping it in salt and drinking blackcurrant which represented the wine which is blessed by the father and drunk by the family at Shabbat.
We talked about how important it is for families generally to get together and spend time with each other during a regular event.
SHAVUA TOV! -Have a good week!
Love from Class 1
