Students displayed their knowledge of things Jewish during a Torah fair at the Yeshiva of Crown Heights.
Youngsters teamed up with staffers at the parochial school, East 63rd Street and Avenue U, for a vibrant showcase of Judaic holidays, customs and history, presented by the Torah Studies Department.
Among the crowd-pleasers were dioramas and displays, representing the holidays of Succot, Shavout, Purim and the High Holydays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, followed by the festival of Lights, also known as Chanukah.
Student set up tables, demonstrating the blessing rites of the Friday night Sabbath, and a mock cave, inscribed with the names of historical rabbis, was among the roster of student projects.
“The expo culminates a year of studies and opens up to the parents and community the understanding of what it is the children are learning about,” said Shirley Rothberg, who heads the Secular Studies Department.
Rabbi Abraham Goldstein is the head of the school’s Torah Department.
