Saturday 22nd May (Mrs Dyer)

Class Nightingale have been learning about Judaism this half term and thinking about the relationship Jewish people have with God. They found out about the Mezuzah: (Hebrew word meaning “doorpost”): A small parchment scroll upon which the Hebrew words of the Shema are handwritten by a scribe. Mezuzah scrolls are rolled up and affixed to the doorposts of Jewish homes, designating the home as Jewish and reminding those who live there of their connection to G?d and their heritage. The use of the Mezuzah in Jewish homes makes me ponder on the questions: Is it important to let people know about your beliefs? How do you do that?
