The Jewish Home The way in which the Jewish family dress, eat and live are important parts of their faith. In today’s lesson we are going to look at how you would recognise a Jewish home by the different artefacts in it and the way it is designed and investigate the foods that are allowed and are NOT allowed to be eaten by Jewish people…..

Hanukiah This is a hanukiah. It is a candlestick with eight main branches and one ‘servant’ branch. It is used in the Jewish home during the special festival of Hanukah L/O: To recognise how Jewish people live out their faith in their own home

Mezuzah This is a mezuzah. It is a metal or wooden casing which contains a tiny scroll of the Torah (sacred texts in Judaism) It is attached to every doorpost of a Jewish home (except the bathrooms and toilet). When a person enters or exits the room they touch the mezuzah to remind them that God is present in the house L/O: To recognise how Jewish people live out their faith in their own home

Kosher kitchen This is a typical Jewish kitchen. What do you notice about it? Why do think there are separate dishwashers? L/O: To recognise how Jewish people live out their faith in their own home

Kosher kitchen There are not just separate dishwashers in a kosher kitchen. There are also separate fridges, cookers, preparation areas and sinks. Why do you think this is? L/O: To recognise how Jewish people live out their faith in their own home

Kosher food The law says that meat and dairy products cannot be eaten together. It is written like this in the Torah: “You shall not boil a kid in it’s mothers milk”. So, for example, butter will not be used in a beef sandwich, nor will milk or a cream sauce be poured over chicken! L/O: To understand what Kosher food is

Kosher food Jewish people will usually wait three hours before ‘mixing’ dairy with meat. So a pudding with custard or cream or a coffee with milk would not follow a meat course. L/O: To understand what Kosher food is

Kosher kitchen Foods that are allowed are called ‘kosher’. To be classed as ‘kosher’ the food must be prepared in a certain way. There is a list of food in the book of Leviticus (one of the first five books of the Old Testament) in which God gives instructions to His people on what they are and are NOT allowed to eat.
