The 3 most interesting things I learned about Judism is that the 3 main forms of Judism(Conservitive, Orthodox, Reform) is different.Because some are more strict than others. Another thing is that some of them are against Woman rabis and some are not. The last intersesting thing I learned is that Their holy book the Torah has to be read during Bart ot Barmitzvahs.
ReplyDelete3 topics I have trouble finding answers to on the assesment is what is the Talmud, why Jews find it important to live in isreal, and what kind of things are "top concentration points"
3 most interesting things i learned: 1.that the isrealities were slaves and had slaves 2.the story of them escaping from egypt 3.how they kicked the palestines out of where they lived
ReplyDeletequestions:1.why so jews disagree that jesus was the messiah 2.what's talmud 3.what are some top concentration points 4.how is judaism both a religion and an ethnicity?

ReplyDeleteThree things I found interesting: I thought that it was interesting how all 3 different branches where so different. For example, if you are an Orthodox Jew, you have to be Kosher but if you are Reformed, you don't nessecarily have to be Kosher.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I found interesting was that they are still waiting for the messiah to come to the wailing wall. How long are they going to wait?
The last thing I found interesting is that the church declared you a man/women at the age of 13/12. It is alot different form when we think of people as a man/women.
the answer to tiann's question on why jews find it important to live in isreal is b/c the torah says that that was thier promised land
ReplyDeleteThree interesting things that i've learned about Judaism are that a girl can have a Bat Mitzvah when they are 12 years age adn boys can have a Bar Mitzvah at age 13. Another interestung fact about judaism is that God chose Moses. anotgher thing i learned was that jews think that the Messiah will reappear at the wailling wall someday.♥

ReplyDelete3 things I found interesting.
ReplyDelete1)Not all people keep kosher it depends on what knid of Jew you are.

To:emma and meghan XD The three most important things about judaism
ReplyDelete1.Moses led the jews from slavery
2.4.5 million in israel
3.Land of canaan"promise land"
3 Things i find interseting:
ReplyDelete1: I thought that it was intersting how jews dont eat meat
2: I thought it was intersting how you become a man/women at the age of 13 and 12
3: I thought it as intseting how they worship the wailing wall
Question:
1 How many holy books are there to jewish people??
3 interesting things:
ReplyDelete1:jews have a great military because they have been invaded many times and after the holocaust, they vowed not to let that happen again.
2:jews do not believe that jesus was the messiah because he was not of the line of david and he was supposed to build a third temple.
3:jesus was bor a jew.
Questions:
why does the torah only contain the first five old testement of the bible and not all of them?
Thia: The Talmud is a collection of ancient rabbinic writings on Jewish law and tradition
ReplyDeletethia- the jews didn't believe that jesus was messiah because he wasn't descended from the father and he didn't bring peace and he didn't build the 3rd temple

ReplyDeletekayana: a sinaygogue is a place where jews worship
ReplyDeleteryan, the jews will wait as long as they need to till their version of the messiah appears (at the wailing wall)
ReplyDeletedavid, they got the ten commandments after they escaped from egypt on the top of mt sinai
ReplyDeletewhat is the wailing wall ?
ReplyDeletekayana: the wailing wall is the place jews believe the messiah will reappear to bring peace
ReplyDeleteWHAT WAS THE CONVENANT BETWEEN MOSES AND YAHWEH?
ReplyDeleteThia, I dont know if Moses and Yahweh had a covenant but i know Abraham and Yahweh made one. Yahweh said that if Abraham moved to Canaan he and all his people would be blessed. Moses was a prophet who led the Israelites from slavery and received the 10 commandments though.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the Seder and why is it important to Jewish people?
ReplyDeleteWhat is their Messiah ?
ReplyDeleteKayana, Jews believe that the Messiah will one day appear at the wailing wall to bring peace and harmony to the world
ReplyDeletethanks kate
ReplyDeleteIzzy the five books of the Torah are Gensis, Numbers,Leviticus,Deturnomy,and Exodus
ReplyDeleteWhat mountain did Moses receive the 10 commandments????
ReplyDeleteKate- Seder is the most important holiday out of passover because it is celebrated to remember how the jews escaped slavery
ReplyDeletethe messiah is a god-like figure who people believe will one day restore peace
ReplyDeleteThanks Meaghan, Moses received the 10 commandments on Mt. Sinai.
ReplyDeleteThree things I learned:
ReplyDeleteThe Jews are waiting for the Messiah to come and rebuild the temple
There are five books in the Torah
There is a book called the Talmud the Rabbis wrote in and made comentary on the Torah
One question:
Does God have more then one name?
Thia: Moses and God did have a convenant and I THINK is more centered around Moses getting the laws and what will happen to them if they break them
ReplyDeleteIzzy:
ReplyDeleteJewish people keep kosher because they are dietary (probably spelt that wrong, sorry) laws that Jews are suppose to follow.
Annie: Im pretty sure the god has only one name (Yaweh)
ReplyDeleteMeghan: He recived it on Mt. Siani
