Year 1 Synagogue Visit

Year 1 had a fabulous time at the synagogue. We enjoyed looking at different mosaics and seeing which Jewish symbols we could recognise in them. Inside the synagogue, we looked around the room to see if we could identify all the parts of the synagogue such as the ark, the Torah and the eternal flame. We were lucky enough to be able to open the ark and enjoyed looking at the Torah covers and feeling them. We looked at different menorahs and compared one used at Hannukah and one that wood be used at Shabbat. The thing we most enjoyed was trying on the different kippah's and looking at the different patterns they had.
