  27. Three things that i thought were interesting about Judaism are...

    1. Jews who are kosher cannot eat dairy and meat together ex. cheeseburger, and cannot eat shellfish.

    2. Orthodox Jews take every instruction in the Torah literally.

    3. There can be women rabbis in the Reformed branch, but there cannot be any women rabbis in the Orthodox and Conservative branches.


    Two questions:

    1. Who built the Wailing Wall (where the messiah will appear)?

    2. Why do the men and the women worship in separate areas in the synogogue?


    Answers:

    Jessica-the Arab-Israeli conclict began when the state of Israel was founded; the Palestinian Arabs who lived there believe(d) that the land was holy to them too and they also had a right to the land, not just the Jews.

    Grace-Judaism was not founded in 1947, the state of Israel was founded in 1947

    Mike- most Jews celebrate Hannukah by lighting the menorah (one candlle per night), exchanging presents, going the synogogue to worship, and eating fried foods.

  32. Kendall,Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah because when the people arrested Jesus he didn't use his great power to prove to the Jewish people that he was the Messiah so that's why Jews don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
