Rabbi spends time with Year 2 pupils

Fresh from celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Rabbi Odom Brandman visited the school today to talk to Year 2 pupils about Jewish beliefs and practices.

Rabbi Brandman from the Chabad Lubavitch in Buckhurst Hill is a regular visitor to the school who gives freely of his time to help us deliver part of the Judaism module of our RE curriculum.

Dev from 2 Morris class said he enjoyed the Rabbi's visit and discovered the rabbi works very hard doing such things as reading the Torah scroll, marrying people and blessing new born babies.

Eloise, also from 2 Morris commented, " The best part ot the visit was when the Rabbi blew the rams horn!"

2 Nightingale pupil, Amelie added, " I learnt that the Rabbi takes funerals and sometimes when Jewish people die their funeral can take place within a day!"
