Lesson on 17th March: Jewish Weddings

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

To finish our look at wedding ceremonies we thought about Jewish weddings today. The notebook presentation with all the details is here: Jewish Weddings.

There is more information here:

For homework:

In the lesson we started thinking about what we would do at our own weddings.

If you were getting married what would you do? Many couples have an “order of service” to explain to their guests what is happening. Your job is to create an “order of service” booklet for your wedding.

It must include something from at least two religions we have looked at and you must explain why. However, you do not have to do things for the same reason as the religious people. For example, you might like to break a glass at your wedding to symbolise the sadness you feel about all the people who could not attend to celebrate with you.

You had until the end of the lesson today to plan what you would do on paper, then you need to write it up properly, with pictures if you wish, for homework. Bring it in next week.
