A baseball cap, candy, a smartphone: Is there such a thing as a Jewish object?
Workshop for School Groups Ages 11 to 15 (in German)
What can a baseball cap, a feather, a cup or a candy bag be used for? And what significance might these items have in Judaism? We’re all familiar with rituals, whether in religious or secular contexts. Participants will explore the significance of a variety of everyday objects for Jewish rituals.

They will work in small groups to explore aspects of the permanent exhibition and learn about traditions and rituals relating, for example, to resting (Shabbat), eating (Kashrut) or growing up (Bar Mitzvah). Is there such a thing as a Jewish object? Participants will find their time at the museum does not provide definitive answers. Rather, they will learn how the meaning of things can change with different contexts. This workshop provides initial access to the basics of Judaism and explores the diversity of Jewish identities.
Please note that school classes will be divided into two groups exploring different areas and topics from the exhibition. After the visit, it may be useful for the groups to share what they have learned.
