Today we had a guest speaker for our Inquiry.Our topic is about religions and eachweek we work on a different one ,this week we are looking at the jewish religion so we are having a jewish guest speaker [Ina]. First we looked at some jewish symbols we saw the menorah [a candle with 7 strokes] and the hanukkiah [a candle with 9 strokes].
Then we looked at the hebrew alphabet theres something special about the hebrew alphabet because over time the hebrew letters have changed in form and guess what in there books they read from right to left and we read from left to right.
After that we looked at the torah [scroll] it was so sacred you couidn't even touch one.
Then she told us about the food there aloud to eat and not aloud to eat.After that she told us about the laws of the jews and she said that there were 613 but in a case of an emergency you can leave out 610.
Then she told us about a celebration.[hanukkah]we learned that its in december and everyone puts hanukkiah in there windows to show that their celebrating it.
