The children really enjoyed the session and the found it very informative. This was particularly evident in the next RE lesson as they seemed to know all about the topic. They kept saying, 'The Rabbi told us all about it.’

Children were able to learn about aspects of Jewish faith from an authentic speaker.
Thank you so much for a wonderful, informative session. www.staugustine.surrey.sch.uk/surrey/primary/staugustines Rabbi Zvi is very engaging with the children and makes them feel part of the discussion and learning. Lots of visual and stories to aid their understanding.
Paula Jones, Class Teacher oaklandsjunior-school.org.uk/ Very informative - thank you again for a great visit!
Eleanor Smith, Year 4 class teacher st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/ Rabbi Zvi was extremely engaging and the children really responded to him. With the workshop including a mixture of listening and practical activities, this gave the children a more immersive experience. The children also enjoyed being able to taste the 'wine' and bread.
www.clanfieldprimary.co.uk/ Rabbi Zvi was very engaging and a fantastic story teller. The children loved the resources that he brought in and they were fascinated with the stories that he told. We all enjoyed the afternoon and we are looking forward to his visit in the future!
hatchride.wokingham.sch.uk/ The children loved the food tasting - the delicious treats and the not so delicious!!
As a teacher, what I enjoyed most was seeing how included ALL the children were and how Rabbi Zvi drew comparisons with any religions that were represented in the room. Thank you so much. Rabbi Zvi is so fantastic with the children. I also find him so interesting and would enjoy nothing more than to share a cuppa with him and to pepper him with questions! www.alderbury.wilts.sch.uk/ The visit was very well pitched to the age group (Year 2) and Rabbi Zvi covered all the learning that we requested.
He kept the children engaged with stories and by showing us items from the Jewish faith including the Shabbat table. The children loved the stories with the animal actions too and the dad joke! Thank you so much. www.stedwardsrcdarwen.co.uk/ In year 3 we had a lesson on Judaism on Monday with the virtual Rabbi visit on the Friday – this really helped bring the topic alive and make it more meaningful for the children.
The children were engaged and communicated well with the Rabbi. They particularly enjoyed the story telling. They were able to link their learning from our lesson to the teachings from the Rabbi. saint-patricks.org.uk/ Y3/4 listened to Rabbi Solomons in a workshop full of wonderful stories, the history of Judaism, the Torah and Jewish children. We all found it most informative and it really enhanced the children’s learning about the Jewish faith.
https://stalbanspelaw.bwcet.com/rabbi-zvi-solomons/ Rabbi Zvi was super with the children and was very patient with the children. The visit was very informative and has helped develop the children's understanding.
www.shipston.warwickshire.sch.uk/ The children felt like they learned lots and their learning was more memorable because you bought real objects and things to eat, drink, touch and listen to.
They enjoyed hearing you 'sing the Torah.' They were confident using new terms like 'Kippah' 'Torah' and 'Mezuzah' and had a greater appreciation for what these represent. One pupil wrote "When we did the prayer it was like magic because the candles just lit!" - you inspired excitement and enthusiasm for their learning. Another child wrote "I think that Judaism is a wonderful religion and you should be proud." It's lovely to hear children form genuine respect and admiration for another religion. One child called your visit "life changing and I never knew how similar Islam and Judaism were." www.stokenchurchprimary.co.uk He is great at adapting to our needs and questions, and so clear and engaging in his explanations.
salesian.surrey.sch.uk/ I just wanted to send a massive ‘THANK YOU’ to both you and Rabbi Zvi for a fantastic day on Thursday. We really enjoyed it and loved listening to Rabbi Zvi. He was great fun and interactive. Some of the girls wanted me to send you a photo of their sukkahs that they made on the day. www.st-annes.uk.com/ Really enjoyed the religious artefacts the Rabbi brought in and loved the Q and A session at the end.
- Patrick Kelly, RE Head of KS3 www.wiseman.ealing.sch.uk It was great form start to finish. Rabbi Zvi made all the children feel included, explained things beautifully and at their level.
- Lindsay Russel, RE Subject Leader www.camelsdale.w-sussex.sch.uk The workshop was marvellous! Rabbi Zvi made everyone feel at ease and interested in finding out about Judaism. The students particularly enjoyed trying on the kippahs and tallits.
www.garstonmanor.herts.sch.uk/ Rabbi Zvi was adaptable and was able to tailor his learning to the children's interests. He kept the children engaged and he knew a lot about all areas of Judaism. The children were able to try some of the food from a Passover meal , and where Kippahs which is memorable for them.

Rabbi Zvi was a clear and inspirational speaker, and our pupils gained a lot from his visit for our interfaith talk. It was excellent to hear Rabbi Zvi's views on faith in the modern world, the problem of evil and the compatibility of Judaism and science. Thank you very much, and we hope to have you back in the school again soon.
Oliver Clarke, Head of Religious Studies and Philosophy www.radnorhouse.org It was very interesting and informative. Chn loved it so thank you. I learnt lots as a teacher too.
www.willowbankjunior.com "the Rabbi was kind and happy" year 4 pupil
"he made me feel happy" year 5 pupil "I really enjoyed it when the Rabbi was telling us about peoples names" year 4 pupil "I liked seeing the hats and things and we were allowed to try them on" year 3 pupil I was totally in awe of the Rabbi's knowledge of other world religions and the way he engaged with our children of different faiths but also made the children who have yet to find their faith feel that was ok too. - Zoe Baker - RE lead Brimpton Church of England Primary School The fact that Rabbi Zvi has a wonderfully calm manner with the children. He was so respectful to the fact that we are a church school and made some lovely links to what the children already knew and the session he was leading. I would highly recommend!
The extras were great and have meant that we are starting to build up some good quality Judaism resources. https://www.allsaints.cambs.sch.uk/ On Monday 15th November the whole school took part in a virtual visit from Rabbi Zvi Solomons. We loved taking part in the Zoom visit and listening to Rabbi Solomon's story. The moral of the story was that it is very important to say sorry as soon as you realise you have done something wrong, even though it can be hard to say.
https://www.sttheresascatholicprimary.co.uk/catholic-life/ The children were fascinated to see the photos of sacred sites in Jerusalem, including those special to our own faith.
We really appreciated the fact that you highlighted links between our faiths so the children could see similarities. The children enjoyed watching / listening to Rabbi Zvi praying in Hebrew. https://stvincents.school/ |
