Family Sundays

Simple Museum: An Inclusive Family Program About the Jewish Religion With Bread Baking (Plain Language in German)

This workshop at the Jewish Museum Berlin is for people who need a calm environment and simple language. This is what we will do: We will look at the museum building. We will look at a Torah. That is a scroll. It contains important texts for Jewish people. We will take a break. Then we will bake a braided yeast bread. It is called challah. This is a bread for a Jewish holiday. We will smell, feel, and taste the bread.
