The Jewish Experience

There is no better to way to learn about someone than to spend the day with them.

This is exactly what The Jewish Experience aims to show you.

You may have seen Jewish people on the television, you may have read about the Jewish faith, but now you can find out how Jewish people within the Manchester community live their daily lives.

The Jewish Experience gives you the opportunity to enjoy a day out around the Jewish community of North Manchester.

The day will be spent

· visiting Jewish shops,

· visiting the new sports centre

· having a delicious Kosher lunch

· visiting a day care centre

The experience will also include a tour of the beautiful Manchester Jewish Museum, where you will learn about the history of the Museum and discuss synagogue worship and the history of Manchester’s Jewish community.

The Jewish Experience is an excellent opportunity to learn about what it is like to be Jewish.

We encourage  questions throughout the day, whether it’s about what Kosher means (what can and cannot be eaten), the laws of  the Sabbath, or how the Jewish community looks after its elderly.
