Our visit to the Sinai Academy
Last week we visited the Sinai Academy in Bloubergrant. It was very interesting but REALLY fun at the same time! We first met the Rabbi, he talked about the Jewish religion and then showed us the Torah. There was an ark that 5 scrolls were kept in. Then we saw a ram’s horn that the Jewish religion blows on the day of Shabbat. We had to put a coin into a can, so when the can gets full they give it to someone who needs it. We went to the senior school of the Sinai Academy ad they showed us what Shabbat is. Shabbat is on a Friday afternoon, they light up candles before the sun sets and make/buy challah bread, either they serve wine or apple juice. They do this because it’s part of their religion and they believe that because on they last day that God created the world he rested, so they do the same from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon. But they can’t use electricity and they have to play other games or rest. I loved going there, I had a BLAST!
