(c) 2020 HomeschoolOnTheRange.blogspot.com Intro to Judaism (by my dear friend, Susan Rosefielde) Judaism is an ancient religion that was begun in the Near East 4,000 years ago. The Hebrew people of ancient times started out in the hilly country near Armenia and northern Iraq. The ancestral father, Abraham, heard the voice of God and followed directions to take his entire family to a Holy Land near the Mediterranean Sea. Abraham became the first practicing Hebrew around 1800 BCE (BC) during the Egyptian, Assyrian, and Babylonian civilizations. The journey was long and arduous and took Abraham’s descendants hundreds of years. Eventually they ended up in Egypt, and in 1200 BCE(BC) Moses, the great Hebrew prophet, brought them out of slavery in Egypt, and to the Promised Land of Israel. The story of the ancient wanderings of the Hebrews is recounted in the holy text, called the Torah. Judaism is one of the oldest religions that has been continuously practiced. Jews are a relatively small number of people, about 16 million worldwide, but their religion and the works of Jewish people have had a big impact on world civilization. In 1948, just after World War II and the Holocaust, the United Nations voted to recognize the new country of Israel on the site of ancient Jerusalem. Jews had not had a political country in 2,000 years. Recommended Readings Children's Illustrated Jewish Bible The Hebrew Alphabet The Jewish Child's First Book of Why DK Eyewitness Judaism What Was the Holocaust? Family Treasury of Jewish Holidays The Torah & Beliefs Bereishit (pronounced buh-RAY-sheet) is the first word of the Hebrew Bible. It translates to “in the beginning." The first chapter relates the story of the Creation of the World, according to Jewish belief. No one can say for sure if it is the true word of God or an ancient story created by many Jewish rabbis and scholars over time. According to the Hebrew Bible, the Creation occurred 5900 years ago. In the beginning there was chaos, and God created order. He created planets, our world, and separated the sky from the lower world. He then went on to create the seas and landmasses, and all the animals of the sea and the land. On the sixth day God created Man. When he saw (c) 2020 HomeschoolOnTheRange.blogspot.com that Man was lonely, he created a Woman from the man’s rib to live beside him and give his life meaning. On the seventh day God looked at his work and was pleased. He took the day to rest and think about all he had done. Thus, the Sabbath was created, as the seventh day of every week. Man is supposed to copy God’s behavior and rest from his labors. Every week Jews celebrate the Sabbath. It is one of the innovations of their religion. Jewish Sabbath starts on Friday eve at sunset and lasts for 25 hours, until 1 hour after sunset or when the first star is visible. They are thinking of the Creation and copying their God. They are creating order in their lives, and they are separating the sacred from the secular, or work a day world. It gives them a day to make sense of what they are doing. There is so much of their religious belief in the beginning chapters of the Bible that any one can read it slowly and think and discuss the meaning with others. That is done every Sabbath in the Synagogue, or Temple. At synagogue, the Torah, Five Books of Moses, is taken out of its special closet in the front of the sanctuary and placed on a reader’s table. The velvet cover is removed, and the leather scroll is unrolled to the proper place for that week. Every year the Torah is read in the same order every Sabbath. The rabbi and others read the delicately handwritten Hebrew words. After a sentence or two, the reading is stopped, and the meaning is discussed or even argued. This is not considered disrespectful, but shows how sincere and eager people are to understand every word and to try to incorporate the lessons into their own lives. The Torah contains over 600 commandments. Most people do not even know what they are because they are hidden in text, throughout the complete Hebrew Bible. There are also ten simpler commandments that are considered basic to all human beings, Jewish or non-Jewish. If any one follows those commandments they will be rewarded in the After Life by going to Heaven. At this time in history, Jewish people hold many different views about Judaism and how many rules they should follow, and whether they believe the Hebrew Bible is the direct voice of God to his people. (c) 2020 HomeschoolOnTheRange.blogspot.com Forms of Judaism Orthodox Judaism is very strict in its beliefs and spends a great deal of time studying and obeying as many commandments as they can. This had been the traditional religion in Europe until 1800. The Reform Movement was created in Germany around 1800, during the period known as the Enlightenment, and its goal was to modernize Judaism and make it’s practices closer to Christian Protestantism. The belief in one God and the relevance of the Torah and sacred life did not change. However, the writings, were considered to be man-made. Conservative Judaism is the third great movement that was developed a little later in the nineteenth century. It is a belief system that holds on to more of the traditional views and interpretations and uses more Hebrew in the service. Reform Temples use either English or another native language.

According to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the world and also the time of divine judgment... “On Rosh Hashanah all human beings pass before Him as troops, as it is said, ‘the Lord looks down from heaven, He sees all mankind. From His dwelling place He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, who discerns all their doings.'” – Rabbi Dr. Reuven Hammer The new year is a joyous time filled with family, friends, and food, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on your actions of the past year, and to consider ways to improve in the next. Tashlich, which literally translates to “casting off,” is a ceremony performed on the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah. During this ceremony, Jews symbolically cast off the sins of the previous year by tossing bread crumbs into flowing water. People think of things they’ve done wrong in the past year and then “throw them away,” promising for improvement in the coming year. Services are held in synagogues, and in the midst of the liturgy there are blasts from a ram’s horn, the shofar. The call of the shofar sounds like a person or an animal wailing, and serves to remind Jews to call out to the Divine and change their lives for the better. Many people gather for large family meals on Rosh Hashanah. The challah and apples are dipped in honey, representing hopes for a sweet new year. Honey cake and apple cake are common desserts at the end of this festive meal. Rosh Hashanah 2020 begins at sundown on September 18, and ends at sundown on September 20. Be sure to wish your family and friends, "L’shana tova," a happy and sweet new year! Read The Secret Shofar of Barcelona o The conductor of the Barcelona Orchestra is a Converso; he will lead a concert celebrating the Spanish colonies on the first night of Rosh Hashanah. When the musician introduces strange native instruments from the New World, he plots to slip the shofar in among them, then blow it for the Jewish New Year, assuming only other Conversos in the audience will recognize the ram’s horn. His son shares the secret of their Jewish identity and the youth offers to blow the shofar, which he practices in the fields amidst grazing sheep.

Bread is served in various forms with any meal of the day. It is eaten as a snack, and used as an ingredient in other culinary preparations, such as sandwiches, and fried items coated in bread crumbs to prevent sticking. It forms the bland main component of bread pudding, as well as of stuffing designed to fill cavities or retain juices that otherwise might drip out. Bread has a social and emotional significance beyond its importance as nourishment. It plays essential roles in religious rituals and secular culture. Its prominence in daily life is reflected in language, where it appears in proverbs, colloquial expressions ("He stole the bread from my mouth"), in prayer ("Give us this day our daily bread") and in the etymology of words, such as "companion" (from Latin comes "with" + panis "bread"). 1.2 OBJECTIVE The Objective of this unit is to provide: 1.

PEARSE, BA A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulftllment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Arts McMaster University, Hamilton, ON © Copyright by H.A. Pearse, August 2004. MASTER OF ARTS (2004) McMaster University (Religious Studies) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: "The Guide and The Seducer: The Dualism of 4QVisions of<Am ram." AUTHOR: Holly APearse, BA (Dalhousie) SUPERVISORS: Dr. E. M. Schuller Dr. A. Y. Reed Dr. S. Westerholm NillvffiER OF PAGES: vi; 101 ii ABSTRACT a g 4QVisions of cAmram - ar (4Q543-4Q549) is an Aramaic Jewish text found at Qumran, and dates to the third to second centuries BCE. This thesis explores the ways in which the text exhibits dualism. The history and origins of the text are presented, as well as a brief discussion of the theory and definitions of dualism. It is shown that 4QAmram represents a form of Jewish dualism. There can be little doubt that 4QAmram contains dualistic teachings, and that it is linked to the Hebrew Bible, but it has drastically altered the biblical material to design a dualism far and beyond that of the Torah sources. The text has an emphasis on ethical and cosmic battles between good and evil, expressed through the use of both the Two Paths and the Two Angels motifs. The dualism found in several other Second Temple documents is then discussed, in relation to the place which 4QAmram may have held at Qumran.

Toronto: Second Story Press, 2012. 174 pp. $24.99. (9781926920368). Ages 9 and up. Hana’s Suitcase received unanimous approval from the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee in 2002. When the award was presented to Karen Levine at the AJL Conference in Toronto the following year, AJL members had the added privilege of hearing from Hana’s brother George; the event brought tears to most attendee’s eyes. Ten years (and over thirty printings) later, an expanded version of the book has been re-issued. The original text is still here. It includes Hana’s life in Moravia, her fate during the Shoah, her life in Terezin, and her death at the age of thirteen at Auschwitz. Alternating with Hana’s biography, the book tells of her rediscovery by Fumiko Ishioka, director of the Tokyo Holocaust Center and its Children’s Section. The original story ends with the arrival of George Brady, Hana’s brother, and his welcome to the Tokyo museum. Following the 2004 Afterword, the Anniversary Album contains 65 pages of additional material. It includes new statements by Karen Levine, Fumiko Ishioka and George Brady; memories by survivors who knew Hana and George as children; covers of 34 international editions; information about the documentary movie and play based on Hana’s life; and a wealth of photos, stories, and poems by children (primarily in Canada but also in the U.S.) who have been moved by the book.

It is my calendar, in which I carefully record all appointments, commitments, to-do lists, birthdays — basically every move I make. I anxiously check off items each day or carefully carry them over if they went unaccomplished. I look forward to each June, when I get to start fresh in a clean planner and love looking back at my life, day-by-day, through all my past ones. Technology passed me by and I could not care less. I ignore the sad stares I receive from Blackberry users as they check out my over-stuffed red book. Being organized has always been a large part of who I am as a person, wife, and working Mom. Anything that saves time or helps me re-group is a good thing.
