What does it mean to be Jewish? 11-year-old Charlie explains his religion of Judaism in this Learning Zone programme for primary school children.

Charlie is sports mad and thinks the best thing about being Jewish is the food. His family belong to an orthodox synagogue in Manchester. He tries his best to follow the rules of Shabbat, the weekly Jewish day of rest, but admits it can be tempting to switch on his phone and TV. When it comes to the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, he reveals how it feels to be judged by God.

13-year-old Me-Me, short for Amelia, invites the cameras in to her bat mitzvah rehearsal at her Reform synagogue as she prepares to become a Jewish adult. How will she feel about this new chapter of her life?

Meanwhile, ten-year-old Solly and his family recreate Passover Seder night to remember how the Israelites eventually left slavery in Egypt. Later in the year, he makes traditional latkes with his mum to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Chanukah.

My Life, My Religion: Judaism is one of a series of programmes aimed at Key Stage 2 Religious Studies.
