Adam Carpenter – Head of Jewish Life Primary

In our two day week last week for Sukkot, students were offered a variety of activities and experiences during Hebrew and Jewish Studies lessons, as well as recess and lunchtime: 

• Special Years 3-6 tefillah which included selections from the additional prayers of Hallel.
• Looking at interesting and creative sukkah designs from Jewish communities across the world.
• Designing creative sukkot.
• Reflecting on the custom of Ushpizin (the symbolic guests from Jewish history invited into the sukkah) and thinking about who they would like to invite into their sukkah.
• Visiting the sukkah and performing the mitzvot of shaking the arba minim and eating in the sukkah.

Todah Rabah to Rivky, Rabbi Yossi and JEMs for assisting us with building our sukkah and running activities for the students.
