Upon his return to San Nicandro Garganico, his reading of the Bible and the visions he experienced led him to believe that Judaism surpassed all other religions. As he was convinced that the Jewish people had disappeared from earth, he thought God had given him the mission of recreating His people. After chancing to discover the existence of organized Jewish communities in Italy, Manduzio set about obtaining an official conversion for himself and about seventy of his followers. This paper endeavors to shed light on the circumstances of this collective conversion and to elucidate its causes by examining its historical and sociological contexts.. Keywords: Donato Manduzio; San Nicandro Garganico; Religion; Judaism; Zionism; Bible; Conversion; Visions; Faith healing. Introduction: A brief sketch of conversions to Judaism The sacred Scriptures of all three monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – contain foundational conversion stories. Unlike Christianity or Islam, however, Judaism has neither a tradition of mass conversions, nor missionaries, nor does it have a proselytizing program.

Am Ende des 14 Ersten Weltkriegs, am 12. November 1918, verselbständigte sich das Bayerische 15 Zentrum zur Bayerischen Volkspartei. Das Zentrum verfiel am 5. Juli 1933 der 16 Selbstauflösung im Zuge der Beseitigung aller deutschen Parteien (außer der 17 NSDAP), ebenso am 3. Juli die Bayerische Volkspartei.

    The High Cost of Hate Yom Kippur Gregory S. Marx October 2016 I have a confession to make. I begin this Yom Kippur sermon with an honest confession. On the one hand it’s a tad funny, but on the other hand it’s very serious. Sometimes, I cannot control my anger when I’m on the phone pushing buttons trying to speak to a customer service rep. The recorded message tells me repeatedly that they value my time. But they are lying. I compliantly push all the button, giving them the last four digits of my social and my home zip code and then when I get to a real person, they ask me the question all over again. And it fills my heart with, I’m sorry to say, rage. Can any of you relate to this? A few weeks ago, I found myself waiting for over half an hour, dutifully pushing the buttons, to speak to the right person, only to be disconnected not once but twice. Once reconnected, listening to that saccharine sweet voice saying, “I’m sorry, that option is not available, “ I found myself bellowing into the phone, “Customer Service.” It was embarrassing. A machine had rendered my insane. So I confess this human sin before you. The sin of Sinat Chinam, baseless hatred. My confession has liberated me. 1 Seriously, hate is everywhere. We saw two Presidential candidates so filled with hate for each other that they couldn’t even shake hands. Their faces turned red, they paced back and forth, and they scowled and pursed their lips.

The National Socialists sought the destruction of the Christian re ligion, whose teachings and values were seen as inimical to those of the State, and the establishment of a Reichskirche that would preach the doctrines of National Socialism. The German government during the Third Reich was a totalitarian regime, but ther e was one matter in which the Nazi Party did not have carte blanche, religion, which made it an intrinsic threat to the authority of the State. Many Nazi officials saw Christianity as the inherent and irreconcilable enemy of National Socialism, but they k new they risked losing the support of the German people if they instantly dissolved the Christian Churches. Instead of vehemently attacking the Christian confessions the way they did in Poland, in Germany the National Socialists set up a mirage of support for and acceptance of religious institutions, all while working to undermine the Christian tradition that they considered of greatest detriment and danger to their State.
