This is what happens on the tours:

You’ll receive a warm welcome.
We’ll look at the building.
We’ll look at a Torah. A Torah is a scroll. These scrolls contain texts that are important to Jews.
We’ll take a break.
We’ll bake some plaited yeast bread. This is called Challah. Challah is a bread for Jewish holy days.
We’ll say goodbye.
