Today the Grade 4 students have been editing and publishing news articles they have written in the past weeks. One of these articles is one they drafted after our visit to the synagogue.

Here are a few examples ...

Rabbi Butman at the Synagogue

Grade 4 students from ISPP went to a synagogue to learn more intresting facts about Judaism. Grade 4 went on the 24th January.

Rabbi Butman arrived at Phnom Penh,Cambodia in 2009. Rabbi Butman challenge was opening Chabad house for the Jewish people here in Cambodia. He said he began translating the whole Torah into Khmer. He also told us that it took one whole year to make a Torah. A Torah is a sacred writing about Jewish beliefs.

There are 10 commandment that Jews have to follow. These are the same commandments that Christians follow. Jewish was the first religion that believe in One god.

Rabbi Butman told the students that the jews were enslaved in Egypt. Jews was also Persecuted for many of year by the Romans.

A student on the trip Monyroat said “ It was an interesting morning”. He liked seeing the replica version of the Torah.

When asked why they set up a synagogue in Cambodia where the Jewish population was so small Rabbi Butman said “ No quantity of Jews are too small”.
