This afternoon, Class 3 said 'Shalom' to our new friend, Dr Sheila Gewolb, who came to us for a visit to tell us about what her life was like as an Orthodox Jew. The children asked ever so many questions, with just a few being: Have you ever had a prayer answered by God? Do you celebrate Christmas, Easter and Halloween? What is your diet like? What happens to your mezuzah when you go on holiday? How heavy is the torah? How old is God? We then explored the artefacts she had brought. Everyone had a go at blowing the Ram's Horn and we played with the dreidels and tried on prayer caps. Sheila showed us how she begins Shabbat and even brought us some lovely Cholla bread which we will hopefully get to try tomorrow. Sheila was absolutely fantastic with the children- no question went unanswered! We are excited to hopefully be welcoming her back in 2025 to help us explore Passover. Thank you to Sheila, for her time. See you soon!
