Grandson and Grandpa introduce us to their most precious Jewish objects – One World Festival 2020/21

In this intergenerational talk Isaac, aged 13, and his Grandpa Edward, discuss precious Jewish objects that they own. Edward shows us a hanukkiah candlestick, and a fruit salad bowl used in his family for generations for Passover, for the Seder night. And Isaac talks about the Tallit, a cloth prayer shawl, that he was given for his Bar Mitzvah.
