Use the actual text that you gave in the question in your story.

You can either use it whole and then let the kids react to the event after the fact or you can break it up and show the kids' reactions as things are happening.

This approach kind of lets you off the hook. You aren't doing this to the kids, they are just there during this event.

It also lets you contrast their "modern sensibilities" with what happened. So, if your story is about them learning what it means to be Jewish, that lets you make this another learning moment in your story.
