<p>This resource is a double lesson (2 hours). The first is a lesson about Jewish food laws, which includes embedded links and resources to explore what the laws are and the basis of them. The second lesson, pupils are tasked with considering how easy/difficult it is to follow the mitzvot (including keeping kosher). In order to do this, pupils are given a sample of some of the laws and are asked to consider these. They are then given the task of being town planners and planning an area which will have a proportion of orthodox Jews. They have to include a rationale for certain features, e.g. an eruv, where the Synagogue is situated and what might mark out a home as being one inhabited by a Jewish family. Pupils then end with a question asking them to explain the challenges of living in the 21st century as an orthodox Jew.</p>
