In honor of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Shavuot – when the Jewish people received the Torah from G-d on Mt Sinai – Chabad Neshama Hebrew School of Manhattan Beach presented the Jewish Scribe Day. The program and hands-on workshop was for parents and children from the Russian-American Jewish communities of Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach.
“We want children to realize how great our heritage is, by showing them hands-on it brings what we learn to life”, said Shula Winner – Co-Director of the Hebrew School.
The children learned how a Torah, Mezuzot and Teffilin are written, with a feather and ink on parchment all made out of leather. The children got to touch the teffilin and watch how the skins of an animal turn into parchment.
The children filled the outlined letters of their Jewish name with their very own feather quill which they each received to take home with them as a souvenir of this workshop.
