  • RELIGIOUS STUDIES JUDAISM Scheme of Learning
    A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES JUDAISM Scheme of Learning The principal aim of the Scheme of Learning is to support teachers in the delivery of the new Eduqas A level Religious Studies specification. It is not intended as a comprehensive reference, but as support for professional teachers to develop stimulating and exciting courses tailored to the needs and skills of their own students in their particular centres. In addition, this document must not be used instead of the specification, but must be used to support the delivery of it. It offers assistance to teachers with regard to possible classroom activities, links to digital resources (both our own, freely available, digital materials and some from external sources), text books and other resources, to provide ideas when planning interesting, topical and engaging lessons. The intention of this scheme of work is that learners will participate in some independent learning tasks prior to attendance at the lesson. In this way, learners should arrive at the lesson with questions concerning areas that they do not understand, and there is more time for analysis and evaluation of the material within the lesson time. For those who do not wish to take this approach, the activity suggestions should still be flexible enough to be adapted. Judaism Theme 1: Religious figures and sacred texts: 1A Abraham and the establishment of the covenant of circumcision Lesson Specific content Concepts Suggested resources Possible learning activities Homework activity Flip- Abraham as Father of the Abram Abraham WJEC/Eduqas Religious Compile a short biography of what is learning Jewish people.

  • 1500+ Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees
    1500+ Rabbis in Support of Welcoming Refugees January 18, 2017 We, Rabbis from across the United States, call on our newly elected officials to keep America’s doors open to refugees. Faced with the largest refugee crisis in all of human history, the United States must continue to be a safe haven for people fleeing religious persecution, genocide, and terror. Our Jewish tradition teaches that every individual was created in the image of God. We must not turn our backs to the suffering of those individuals who have fled horrific violence, and who continue to be in extreme peril. Furthermore, Jewish history bears witness to the critical choice facing our country: whether to rescue those in need or to construct barriers to keep them out. Jews have seen America at its best, and we know what it looks like for our country to provide the chance at a new beginning. In generations past, our families were given opportunities to gain education, join the workforce, and become part of building our great nation. But we also know what it looks like for America to turn its back on refugees. We have seen xenophobia overwhelm our nation’s capacity for compassion, and we have seen the doors slam shut in our greatest hours of need. Severe restrictions kept countless Jewish immigrants in danger, and too many people faced death in Europe after being turned away from these shores. We appeal to our elected officials to ensure that the refugee program be maintained and strengthened for refugees of all ethnic and religious backgrounds — not halted, paused, or restricted.

Summary: “Judith Plaskow, Professor of Religious Studies Emerita at Manhattan College in New York, is a leading Jewish feminist theologian. She has forged a revolutionary vision of Judaism as an egalitarian religion and has argued for the inclusion of sexually marginalized groups in society in general and in Jewish society in particular. Rooted in the experience of women, her feminist Jewish theology reflects the impact of several philosophical strands, including hermeneutics, dialogical philosophy, critical theory, and process philosophy. Most active in the American Academy of Religion, she has shaped the academic discourse on women in religion while critiquing Christian feminism for lingering forms of anti-Judaism”— Provided by publisher.

  • Judaism Theme 3D Jewish Family Life, Including Diversity of Views Within Judaism About Gender Equality
    A level Religious Studies - Judaism Theme 3D Jewish family life, including diversity of views within Judaism about gender equality Key concepts Key quotes Jews consider the family to be very important and regard their ‘Teach a child how he should live, and he will remember it all his life.’ homes as places where they live according to the faith. When (Proverbs 22:6) moving into a new home the dwelling undergoes consecration with the central ritual being that of fixing a mezuzah to the ‘Honour your father and your mother …’ (Exodus 20:12) doorposts. The cycle of the Jewish year provides a variety of opportunities for worship at home: ‘Each of you must respect your mother and your father.’ (Leviticus • Shabbat: blessings over food before meals 19:3) • the reading of the Haggadah at the Seder • building and living in a sukkah ‘(The family) is where one generation passes on its values to the next and ensures the continuity • lighting the hanukkiah. of a civilisation.’ (Sacks) ‘Feminism is a process of coming to affirm ourselves as women/persons – and seeing that Raising a family is a sacred duty within Judaism, and it is within the home that children learn affirmation mirrored in religious and social institutions.’ (Plaskow) from the examples set by their parents. Jewish parents are expected to raise their children to be moral people; prepare them for adult life and ensure that they have basic survival ‘God would prefer that we come home. She is waiting for us, ever patiently until we are ready.’ skills. In return, children are to carry out the commandments to honour and respect their (Wenig) parents.
