Where this lesson fits: Children have explored the concept of 'precious' and what it means to different people. They have considered how we should handle special objects with respect. In this session we use the mezuzah as an example of how Jewish people express their beliefs at home. Children are encouraged to make links between the mezuzah and their own home or classroom.
Points to note: The Hebrew word ‘Mezuzah’ literally means ‘doorpost’. A small parchment is rolled up, placed in a case and fixed to the doorposts in Jewish homes. It contains the words of the first two paragraphs of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21). This follows the commandment ‘You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates’. The term Mezuzah is commonly used to refer to the case and the scroll together.
Religious Education in Early Years settings: Activities may be adapted to suit Reception and Nursery settings. See the full unit plan for links to Early Learning Goals and a full range of ideas for adult-led and independent activities. Further advice about planning for RE in EYFS can be found in the RE syllabus, Believing and Belonging (p 20 – 23).
Further lesson notes and additional ideas may be found in the notes section of some slides (normal or presenter view).
Enrichment ideas: If staff or helpers are willing to bring in and share a special object, use this as an in- depth example; encouraging the children to handle it carefully and to ask questions about it. These questions could be recorded in the style of an interview. Encourage children to ask their own questions and listen to the replies.
Outdoor learning: create a cosy den with special objects to explore. Notes for teachers<br>

Resources:
Ideally, pass a real mezuzah around the children to handle carefully and ask/ answer questions about it.
Set up a display of Jewish objects, pictures and story books for the children to explore and handle with care.
Provide pictures of doors for the children to collage and add sequins / glitter for making special boxes.
Slide 8: Rules for handling special objects; use the slide created together in the previous session to recap here.
Slide 9: Stand outside the classroom door with the children. What features do they notice on the door? What are they for? How do they feel when they open the classroom door? What special things will they see? Ask the children to close their eyes. Can you see your own front door inside your head? What colour is it? Is it old or new? Are there any things on the door? Talk about the shape, colour and function of all the features of the door. What special things are behind their door? Explain how it is reassuring and calming to know that the secret message is something positive and something we share in our class.
Slides 11/12: Watch a Jewish family put a mezuzah in their new home on the sesame street clip Shalom Sesame: Making a Mezuzah
Slide 17: Play Chinese whispers using a positive comment about the class. This could be a rule about caring for each other. A voice recorder could be used to record the initial message before passing the whisper around the circle. If the children have decorated special boxes, demonstrate writing the message and rolling up the paper like a scroll inside a decorated box. Notes for teachers<br>
