If you are looking for a great activity for the whole family, I highly recommend Saidel Bakery’s “Lechem Hapanim and other breads of the Beit HaMikdash”, hands-on workshop in Ginot Shomron. The workshop lasted about 3.5 hours, in which we saw impressive and informative slideshows, made 5 different types of bread that were made in the times of the Beit Hamikdash and dressed up like Kohanim and entered a replica of the Mishkan. We each went home with a big bag of bread. Les Saidel is very knowledgeable (expert on the topic) and was a great presenter. All of our kids enjoyed and thanked us for taking them. It’s for kids 5 and over – our youngest who is 4 was free and he worked with me.

The Saidel Jewish Baking Center came in at number 4 of LoveLoveIsrael’s worldwide survey of the top days out for the year!!! So be sure to book this activity today!

LoveLoveIsrael Review:

We had such a lovely time today (summer 2013) at Saidel’s Bakery. Thank you Les and Sheryl Saidel for having us!












The workshop is for three hours although it actually was more of a day trip as the Saidels make you feel so at home and give you time to enjoy the delicious breads you have made without rushing off. The Saidels are passionate about their bakery and it really came across during our time there.

I would say this workshop is best for the over 6yrs+ in terms of taking in the wealth of interesting information Les gives you although my 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed the actual bread making (of which there was a lot of) and was able to join in happily (I guess it depends on your children!). There was a range of ages, from young, through teens and adults which is great for families. I think the pictures show you how much fun the workshop was and how amazing the bread we took home was…totally value for money and highly recommended!

Hannukah Workshops!

Our educational and highly entertaining, 3-hour, Breads of the Beit Hamikdash baking workshop is totally hands-on as we bake the Korban Toda, (Thanksgiving Offering), the Shtei Halechem, (Two Loaves Offering) and the legendary Lechem Hapanim (Showbread)

The climax of the workshop is a a guided tour of the Heichal (Sanctuary), with a life-size model of the Shulchan Lechem Hapanim (Showbread Table), dressed up as Kohanim in priestly robes!
