Year 2 visit to Belmont Synagogue

Year 2 visited Belmont synagogue to learn more about Judaism. We listened attentively to the Rabbi and some of us helped him carry the Torah (the special scroll of Jewish rules and stories) from the Ark. We were fascinated with the Ner Tamid (‘eternal light’), which never goes out - a reminder that God is always present. We learnt that the synagogue is a special place for prayer and study for the Jewish people of Stanmore.
