Aim

To inform children about the Havdalah ceremony

Lesson

Begin by revising what was taught in the previous lesson. When Saturday evening comes, it is time for Jewish families to say goodbye to Shabbat. They do this in a special ceremony called Havdalah.

Use text, images or video to inform children about the Havdalah ceremony.

Activity

Following discussion, groups of children could:

• create their own spice boxes
• make a list of their Top Ten Smells
• talk / write about any memories connected with different smells
• devise a smell test.
