Join us this Half-Term for a hands-on workshop where you’ll get to learn more about the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

Shavuot marks the date the Jewish people received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and one of the sweetest traditions is indulging in tasty dairy treats. To celebrate, we’re inviting families to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on in the kitchen!

In this session we will be making and designing our very own no-bake cheesecake. You’ll get to decide whether it’s a lemon, chocolate, honey or fruit cheesecake. Or maybe you’ll combine some flavours!

This workshop is open to all ages, but children must be accompanied by an adult. You’ll also have an opportunity to explore the synagogue and gallery afterwards and try out one of our family activity backpacks!
