MagneticShul is a toy designed for 3-7 year olds to further engage them in synagogue ritual life. Children can play and explore through imaginative play during t’filot by using scenes from Beit Kenesset and magnets of people and articles found in the synagogue environment. MagneticShul allows for the pluralism and plurality of Jewish synagogue worship by having children direct the environment themselves. MagneticShul is designed to engage children with their parents in positive Jewish experiences.
