Our visit to the Sinai Academy

Our Visit To The Sinai Academy

Last week we visited the Sinai Academy in Bloubergrant. It was a very interesting experience.
All of the boys wore kippahs.

The Rabbi was a very nice man and showed us the prayer shawl which he put over himself he said that he prey’s under it and it blocks out everything around him. Which helps him focus on God.

He then blew the shofar to show us what it sounds like. But in the Jewish religion they usually only blow it on Rosh Hoshanah which is the Jewish new year.
On our way out we got to see the Torah which is in the ark the Torah is like the Jewish bible.
We then went to the Senior Primary and sat down at tables with challah bread and grape juice.


We watched a video and the children spoke prey’s in Hebrew. We then gotta eat the delicious challah bread and grape juice.
And on every door post there is a thing called a mezuzah with prey’s from the Torah rolled up inside.

The Sinai Academy is named after Mount Sinai That Moses died on when he looked at Jericho.
It was really interesting and I would definitely love to go there again!

    Good presentation, Madison.
    What was your favorite thing in the Sinia Academy.
    Did you kiss the mezuzah because I kissed it.
    I enjoyed eating the tasty challah bread and drank the grape juice.
