Y7 RE homework project -The Jewish Art Gallery
A new art gallery of religions is opening and you are delighted to have got a job there! Your
task is to select exhibits for the Jewish Room. You will need to search online or in books for
items. You need to select what to include carefully and have reasons for each of your
choices, these you will have to justify to your boss at the gallery.
Like all religions, Judaism is a collection of beliefs shared by a community of people.The
beliefs relate to the existence of God. As a result, the people who share the belief worship in
a particular way, and live their lives according to certain rules. Make sure you have read and
researched the religion before trying to complete the project.

Analysing – For each of the pictures chosen in ‘applying’ write a description of it (In an

painted it, what it shows etc) Yours should say what it shows and what this means to the
Jewish faith.
Evaluating- Write a letter to your boss explaining why you have chosen each of the
pictures. You may also say why you have not included others or why this particular picture is
