Shofar Factory
With unique media, and innovative presentation methods, participants will:
· Gain insight into the significance of the Shofar in the celebration of Rosh Hashanah
· Craft a genuine Shofar from the raw horn of a ram.
· See and hear a demonstration of the traditional blasts, while acquiring skills of blowing the Shofar.
· Craft one Shofar to be used at the school's discretion.
Olive Press
As a group of Macabees, students will refine the olive oil needed for the Temple Menorah while they:
· Pit fresh olives, squeeze them with a hand press.
· Strain and then spin the extract in a centrifuge to separate the pure oil.
· Enjoy a video of an olive oil factory in Italy, which introduces them to the modern process.
· Fashion a wick out of cotton for use with the oil when lighting the Menorah.
Matzah Bakery
Passover will become more meaningful when children have a chance to dig into the dough as they:
· Produce flour from wheat kernels, winnow, and separate the chaff from the grain.
· Collect the grain into a hand-driven wheat mill and grind it into flour.
· Knead, roll, and bake the dough into a handmade matzah in the required amount of time.
Delight in taking home their very own freshly baked matzah and a baker's hat.
