ReplyDeletethe covenant was to follow the comandments and the torah and god would lead them to the holy/promised land
to Emma
ReplyDeleteJudaism is a part of everyday life for some jews. But if you do not practice the religion heavily it may not be. It is part of everyday life on the sabbath, because they are not supposed to work.
Garett, the covenant between Moses and god were the Ten Commandments, and also I think to spread them
ReplyDeleteLisa-
ReplyDeleteI think Joseph was the father of Jesus.
Shannon,
ReplyDeleteYou can not mix dairy and milk becuase in the Torah it says that you can not eat a mother with its child.
So the mother would be the meat, or cow, and the baby would be the milk.
1 Abraham was a herder who lived 3700 years ago
ReplyDelete2 Sarah is the wife of Abraham
3 Canaan is the modern day Palastine
1 Who is King David
Dear Julianna and Shannon,
ReplyDeleteThe Talmud is the oral law of Judaism. It's commentary of ancient rabbis that elaborates on how to apply God's Law to everyday life through dietary rules (eating), dress, prayer, temple rights, social relations, etc.
Hope this helps.

Daysia Fox
ReplyDeleteDear Emma,
ReplyDeleteThe main and most important holidays are Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. Hanukkah and Passover are also important. Sukkot isn't part of the assessment, so you won't need that.
To Lisa,

ReplyDeleteKing David is the king of what is now Isreal. His kiingdom split in two the one became the judahs or jews and i dont know the other whoopsy.
Myles,
ReplyDeleteking david is a guy impotant to judaism
Kendall,
ReplyDeleteJudiasm is both a ethnicity and a religion because Jews are from Israel, and it is a religion too.
REPLY TO ME!!!
ReplyDeleteJavanaaaa ;]
ReplyDeleteTo daysia
ReplyDeletethe Nazi's didnt like the jews beacuse of something that happened in the war and the Jew's helped so yah :)
Julianna,
ReplyDeleteI don't know... maybe i was wrong.
Emma,
ReplyDeleteyes judaism is impotant in daily life
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteJoseph has nothing to do with Judaism, just CHristianity.
to Daysia
ReplyDeleteHitler thought that all people should be blond, blue eyed, christians. So he did not like the jews and he persecuted them. And the natzis his armhy followed him.
i learned...
ReplyDelete-in orthodox if ur mother is not jewish the child is not jewish
Emma,
ReplyDeleteThat happens a lot.
JK! :P
Daysia,
ReplyDeleteThe Nazi's didnt believe in being different
Garrett,
ReplyDeleteSo the holidays that will be on the test are only Yom Kippur,Rosh Hashanah,Hanukkah and Passover.
Kendall-
ReplyDeleteIt is both a religion and ethnicity because people sometimes refer to Jewish people as Jews whereas people don't refer to Christians as just Christians. It is a religion because its a religion :).
I have a QUESTION
ReplyDeleteWhat are the origins of the Arab/Israeli conflict?
Or, how did it start
Dear Kendall,
ReplyDeleteBeing Jewish in a religion is being part of the religious movement and believing in Judaism.
But the great majority of Jews become a part of the movement by birth and not due to their beliefs. The ethnicity Jewish is bestowed on the babies of Jewish mothers and stays with them no matter what religion they practice.
i.e. Your mom can be Jewish, but you could believe in Christianity.

ReplyDeleteto emma
ReplyDeletewhat does unleavened bread have to do with god.
To Albert
ReplyDeleteI think it was because of War World 1 and the Jews were coming into their land and they were kinda taking over
Julianna - We haven't really gone over it yet in class. I would just research them online from a reliable source and that's your best bet.
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 things I learned about Judaism.
ReplyDeleteJudaism is a 4,000 old tradition with ideas about what it means to be human and how to make the world a holy place. Genesis describes the creation of the earliest members of the human race. The Torah refers to the 5 books of Moses
Jules-
ReplyDeleteWHY DO THERE NEED TO BE 2 PARTS IN A COVENANT?
Julianna, the ten commandmants are the rules that god gave to moses on mt.siania
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteSome myths say that Hitler was Jewish but really, only his mother is. But since jews take their moms religion, Hitler was jewish but her didn't practice it.
Daysia,
ReplyDeleteThe nazis didn't like anyone who did not fit under the "master race". Blond hair, blue eyes, like the Germans.

2. Sara and Abraham worshipped god or Yahweh
3.The covenant between abraham and god was if he moved to Canaan all his nations will be blessed.
questions:
what is seder??!
Liam,
ReplyDeleteBeing kosher isn't when you can't eat ham, it's just thy you have certain rules on on how and sometimes what you can eat.

ReplyDeleteDaysia, Gillian, Ben,
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can really put Jews in a specific category by saying that they are against gay marriage. Plus that'd be a terrible thing!
Katrina- a seder is a ceremonial dinner during Passover.
ReplyDeletethanks Shannon and Garrett
ReplyDeleteWhat is the definition of Kosher ?
ReplyDeletekosher is the only meat orthodox jews eat, to be considered kosher the animal must be killed by getting its throat sliced and that way only

ReplyDeleteThe tree most intertsting this i found out about Judaism is
ReplyDelete1. 14 million world wide
2. 4 million jews in USA
3. 6 milltion jews died in the Holocast
A question that i have about Judaism is what is the true perpouse of the Passover?

daysia,
ReplyDeletei dont knwo if tey will marry gay couples in a church but i do know a gay jewish women who was recently got mariied
albert,
ReplyDeletewhen the jewish people came to their promise land the arab people became angry because isreal was also sacred land in there history
Gregory
ReplyDeletethe true pUrpose of passover is to remember the Holocaust
To many people,
ReplyDeleteThe thing about gay marriage isn't true. There was a Jewish leader that said a very derogatory comment saying that gay marriage is bad, but that doesn't mean that gay jews can't get married. Even if you are a certain religion it doesn't mean that you have to get married in that church or synagogue or temple. You can get married in a non- religious church, or not even a church at all. You don't even have to be a priest/minister/rabbi to marry a couple, for instance someone from my church (who isn't a minister) married two people because she got a marriage license for one day.
Liz,
ReplyDeleteJews celebrate the Sabbath because God told them to. It's the 4th commandment, "4. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy".
U finally got your blog up! Yay!!!
liz,
ReplyDeletethe covenant between god and moses was the 10 commandments given to moses by god at mt. sinai to show Jews how to live the proper life.
albert,
ReplyDeletethe Arab/israeli war started when israel was founded in 1947 and claimed by the jews adnd the arabs didnt want to share the land with the jews
3 things that I found interesting about judaism:
ReplyDelete1. there are 3 sects of judaism- orthodox, conservative, and reform
2. the jewish people used to live under the roman empire.
3. Moses recived the 10 commandments and the torah from the top of mount Sinai
One question i have is what are the 10 commandments?
Liz,
ReplyDeleteon the Sabbath day they do not work.
emma,
ReplyDeletei never knew that you could get a marriage license for one day.
shahni,
ReplyDeletethe 3 wise men brought jesus gold,frankincense, and myrrh
Emily,

2. Do not make an image of what is in the heavens above,

The three most interesting things I learned about Judaism are:
ReplyDelete. I found it upsetting how King Herod killed so many baby boys because he was afraid of losing his crown.
. I found that the parting of Sea to let the Jewish people leave Egypt was very interesting.
. I am amazed at the patience that the Jewish people have waiting for the Messiah.
