Last week we visited the Sinia academy in Bloubergrant. It was a very interesting outing. When we first got there we saw the rabbi (He was very kind) He told us all about what jews do.The jews bible is a torah. In the Torah They only read the old testament.There is also something special there. There are scrolls that are kept in a ark.It was very interesting. Then after that we went to their senior primary. There they told us all about what they do.Here is one of the things they do. Every friday night they go to the synagogue ( the synagogue is their church) it is called a Shabbat. There they break a special bread that they make. After they pray. After that they take grape juice/ wine and eat the bread and drink the wine/ juice. The widest part was when the boys had to wear these things called yumelkas. The outing that we went to was great! I learned so much new things! I really enjoyed it. I really recommend going there.
