Simply Museum. An inclusive family programme on the Jewish faith, including bread-baking

Here’s what we’ll be doing: You’ll take a look around the museum building. You’ll see a Torah. This is a scroll containing important texts for Jewish people. You’ll take a break. Then you’ll bake a braided yeast bread called challah. This is a bread traditionally eaten on Jewish holidays. Everyone will smell, feel and taste the bread.
