The Rabbi is very engaging with all the children. It is always lovely how he draws on any child's religious experiences or beliefs and makes them relevant and important to the workshop. (Rachael Parsonson, class teacher)

The abundance of knowledge the Rabbi shared with the children at an appropriate level of learning was great, sharing jokes and interacting well with them. He also made good links with other religions that helped our multi-cultural catchment, as well as the British Values we hold here. The children also really enjoyed the prayer shawls, kippurs and the range of resources used. (Kathryn Barnes, class teacher)
E P Collier Primary School "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 Pitched the talk PERFECTLY for our children who have behaviour difficulties, ASD and ADHD. Kept them interested throughout. Absolutely BRILLIANT!
(Mary Farmer, class teacher) http://www.cedars.hounslow.sch.uk/ The children really enjoyed the sessions and gained a greater understanding of worship in the synagogue. The Year 4 lead teacher said to me that the Rabbi was able to adapt his style of teaching to suit our cohort of children, who are predominantly Muslim and Christian, and he was able to draw comparisons between these faiths and the Jewish faith to make it even more engaging and relevant for them. We appreciate the effort that the Rabbi made during his visit to our school.
(Olivia Ormerod, RE coordinator) http://www.selborne.ealing.sch.uk/ 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/ 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/ By communicating well with the school, the sessions were very relevant to our topic work and either introduced or extended the learning in RE.
Rabbi Zvi held the children's attention with his interesting and charismatic storytelling. The children loved tasting the bread and juice as well as seeing all the articles, including the blowing of the shofar! - Mrs Ingham - RE Co-ordinator https://www.stjosephshanwell.org.uk/ Engaging delivery which holds children's attention. Children are able see how practising Jews use the artefacts and learn first hand, the symbolism and meanings attached to these. Children are also given an insight into the direct links with Christianity which although they learn in school, become more pertinent when they come directly from the Rabbi. We value these sessions as CPD for teachers as well.
https://www.stpeters-farnham.surrey.sch.uk/ Rabbi Zvi, thank you so much for a fantastic talk via Zoom with us! The children absolutely loved it, they learnt so much and were really well engaged with the session.
It has really enhanced their learning experience this year. https://www.chandlersford-inf.hants.sch.uk/ Please could you thank Rabbi Zvi Solomons for a very informative presentation. My class loved it and it was an excellent start to Faith Week as the children begin to learn about Judaism.
- Year 3 class https://www.staugustineskenilworth.co.uk/ Thank-you so much, St John's really enjoyed Rabbi Zvi's virtual visit last week. It really helped engage and interest children in their learning about Judaism and helped 'bring it to life' for them in a way we could not have achieved ourselves.
I liked the interaction with different classes specifically, made the children feel directly involved. - Marian Lally, year 2 teacher https://www.stjohns705.herts.sch.uk/ We liked the props and interactive opportunities. The children enjoyed the opportunities to answer and ask lots of questions! Rabbi was highly knowledgeable and shared lots of information with adults to follow up with after the session to help further inform children.
https://grazeleyprimaryschool.co.uk/ Despite the workshop being virtual, the children were very engaged. It was highly interactive, with lots of questions being posed to the children, and the stories were appropriate for their level so they could access them easily.
The children engaged well with the Rabbi's stories - he has a wonderful tone!
They also enjoyed examining the props closely to make links with what he was teaching them. - Emily Woodward, RE Subject Leader http://www.sasm.kingston.sch.uk/ Thank you SO MUCH to Rabbi Zvi, our children were delighted to meet him and really enjoyed learning so much about Judaism. We found everything Rabbi Zvi said very informative and interesting.
Despite the lesson being online it was interactive and the Rabbi had a variety of visual objects to support and engage learners.
- Nafees Aslam, Head of Religious Education http://www.edengirlsslough.com/ He has a lovely energy and good story teller. Rabi Zvi was able to catch the attention of our younger students who can be very fidgety.
It was perfectly pitched to all our year groups. https://gurukula.org.uk/ Rabbi Zvi was really engaging and the children really enjoyed it. The story he told and getting them to join in was lovely. It was also great when he showed the children different objects which are important in the Jewish religion.
Thank you - the children really learnt a lot. - Mrs Charlotte Whittle, Head Teacher http://www.stoke-row-school.co.uk/ "It was really great talking and listening to someone who knew so much about Rosh Hashanah and It was fun seeing all of the different things that he had with him too!"
- Year 6 student https://www.liden-pri.swindon.sch.uk/ The year 5 children love meeting him each year and learning about Judaism. They are captivated by his storytelling and wonderful manner.
https://www.south-farnham.surrey.sch.uk/ Rabbi Zvi was amazing and the children and staff were all so engaged.
https://www.stedmundsschool.co.uk/ The children really enjoyed working with the objects and hearing about how they are all used.
https://www.mountcarmel.ealing.sch.uk/ Thank you for the inspiring talk you gave the children last week in St.Peter's School. I picked my daughter up and her friend after school, who came for a playdate, and they were chattering away very happily about what they had learnt - some even I didn't know about which they thought was fun! (Alison, parent)
Great interaction with the children, they were engaged and came away with a better understanding of Judaism and other religions including Islam and Christianity.
Enjoyed how the Rabbi was encouraging the children to think deeper about why there are particular religious practices… asking the children many why questions. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session. http://etonend.org/ |
