PRINTED IN CANADA About the Author Rebecca Sherbino grew up in Toronto. When she was 16, a two-month mission trip to New Guinea inspired a passion for social justice issues overseas. Her journey began with a year at Capernwray Bible College in England, where she learned about God’s plan for people around the world. Following this, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies: Global Development, Peace and Justice at York University in Toronto, and then completed a Master’s Degree in Peace & Development at the Universitat Jaume I in Spain. Wanting to work in an international context, Rebecca took a contract working in Peacebuilding in Sudan, Africa and continued to work in advocacy for Sudan issues from Ottawa upon return home. She met and married Joel and they spent three years in Malawi as mission staff with The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Rebecca worked as the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer for the Blantyre Synod Health and Development Commission and Joel served as the Associate Pastor at St. Columba (Church of Central Africa Presbyterian). Rebecca and Joel adopted two Malawian children and two years later had a biological son. Isaac is now 7, Masika 5 and Canaan 3. Rebecca has been at home with her three children for the past few years. She continues to be passionate about social justice at home and abroad and is returning to work in the development field now that her kids are starting school. Although she has not yet had the privilege of traveling to Afghanistan, she hopes to get there someday! Rebecca currently attends Paris Presbyterian Church, where Joel is the pastor. Contents Introduction 4 How to use this resource 4 Take the Afghanistan Challenge! 5 Brief Introduction to Afghanistan 6 What is The Presbyterian Church in Canada doing in Afghanistan? 9 What are the Millennium Development Goals? 10 Session 1: Trading Places 12 Session 2: Justice 16 Session 3: Education 21 Session 4: Health 27 Session 5: Taking Action 33 Sources 38 Appendix 1: Naan Recipe 39 Appendix 11: Kites! 39 Introduction Afghanistan is a country that brings many different thoughts to mind. It is a country of mystique, beautiful people, challenging and rugged terrain. It is also a country that has been ravaged by war, occupied by foreign nations and torn by internal conflict. This resource is intended to introduce children and youth to Afghanistan, and the mission work that The Presbyterian Church in Canada is doing there. The Presbyterian Church in Canada works through Afghan organizations to find creative solutions to the challenging issues that Afghans face today. Presbyterian World Service & Development works with local partners to support programs that focus on establishing food security and promoting child and maternal health and education. Justice Ministries works with churches across Canada on policy issues that affect Afghanistan. It is hoped that this study will encourage participants to engage in greater global awareness, provide practical ways to love their neighbour and fuel their passion to act out their faith locally and globally. How to use this resource This resource is intended to be an interactive learning tool. The sessions work best when the leader/facilitator has a clear idea of the objective of each lesson and engages participants in the topic, as opposed to leaning heavily on the written word. The media content is provided to help engage technology-savvy youth with culturally relevant methods of learning. The video clips have been chosen to stimulate discussion on various topics. In some sessions, the clip is used as an icebreaker to begin discussion, and in others the clip highlights the issues being discussed. The video clips will enhance each topic; however, if the technology required to view the videos is unavailable, there is sufficient material in each session for an effective program. All of the sessions include games, crafts and questions for discussion. Online Video Clips The online video clips can be found on both YouTube and Wingclips. The website links have been included in each appropriate section. Video content should be screened prior to viewing so that the leader has a clear idea of how to integrate the video content into the lesson plan as well as to ensure that the material is appropriate for the viewers. Some of the video segments include material that may be sensitive for very young children or use humour that some viewers may not appreciate. Please review and use those that are appropriate for the group. 4 Partners in Hope Age of Participants This resource includes activities for children as young as six years. In some sessions, optional activities and questions have been added that are appropriate for older children. Duration of Study This resource contains material for five 60-90 minute sessions. Each session includes a game (either an active game or a board game) that shares the work of partners in Afghanistan, online video clips, questions for discussion and related Bible verses. The study could be used over five weeks in Sunday School, for mid-week children’s meetings, as part of a five-day Vacation Bible School, for family or intergenerational events, at retreats, camps and with youth groups. Alternatively, you may choose to do just one session. There are a variety of activities that can be picked based on time, interest, or the age of the group. In addition to doing the activities, it is recommended to break for a snack together. This resource could be open to people from outside of the congregation. Advertising the event before it starts would open the doors for people to join the study. Leading the Sessions Although each session could be led by one person, it would be more inclusive to arrange for helpers with different gifts to assist in running the games, serving and cleaning up snacks, storytelling, or helping kids with crafts or small group discussion. Involve as many people as possible! Take the Afghanistan Challenge! Each year The Presbyterian Church in Canada produces a Partners resource so children and youth in Canada can learn about mission partners. Each study encourages children and youth to give money for a specific project. This year the money raised will go towards schools, non-formal education and increasing food security for families in Afghanistan. Giving money to support mission work can be a very abstract concept. Providing strong images representing the gifts helps youth to see the impact they can have. The specific examples provided below will help give the children and youth an idea of what their donation can do. Actual costs and expenditures depend on local markets and the needs at the time. Your gifts will be used to PWS&D-supported projects help the education and agriculture programs’ overall goals. in Laghman Province give • $6 provides a child with school supplies and girls the opportunity to attend school. a school bag • $57 provides a small vegetable garden for a family • $120 provides education for a girl in Afghanistan for a year • $150 provides a goat for a family in need Your gift in any amount creates new opportunities for children and families in Afghanistan and gives them hope for the future. Ideas for Raising Funds Choose a realistic goal from the examples listed. You don’t have to raise the full amount to support the work. Because you are Working for Peace in Afghanistan 5 fundraising with children and youth across Canada, we will accomplish the mission together. For example, if you think your group can raise $96, you may choose to provide 16 children with school supplies and a school bag. For every $6 raised you could add a picture of a school bag to a bulletin board tracking your progress. If you choose the goal of $120 to send a girl to school for a year, find a picture of a girl and create a path for her on a bulletin board, making the starting point her home and the end point the school. Move the girl closer to the school as you raise more money and then place her at the school when you have raised $120. As you raise more money, you could begin to move another girl towards the school. If you choose to raise money to support vegetable gardens, you could cut out pictures of various vegetables, each worth $1, and see how many vegetables you can have in your garden.

  • Jacob Benmosche Lieberman
    Shabbat Shalom. Our Torah portion for this week is Parashat Vayishlach, in which we read about the journeys of our patriarch Jacob and his family after Jacob completes his service for Laban, his father-in-law. G-d commands Jacob to return to the home from which he fled many years before just after stealing his older brother Esau’s birthright as the first-born son of Isaac and Rebecca. Jacob and his family’s return will necessitate at the very least a meeting between Jacob and Esau, if not also a confrontation, since the two brothers had not seen each other since Jacob’s deception of their father robbed Esau of many privileges including the top spot in the family. Understandably, Jacob is afraid to face Esau and his anger. Jacob sends ahead a messenger to Esau to let him know of his return and learns that Esau is coming to meet him, along with 400 men. This exacerbates Jacob’s fear. He divides his family into two camps, with the hope that one will survive should Esau and the men attack. Bravely, Jacob plans to stand in front of his camp to lead them forward, but he doesn’t want to take it on the chin unless he absolutely has to. Before the brothers will meet, Jacob arranges for several messengers to greet Esau and appease him with many generous gifts. Jacob’s planning done for the big reunion ahead, he settles down to sleep for the night. In that sleep, what dreams may come. All night and near into the dawn, Jacob wrestles with a man who may just be an angel.

  • Ford-Judgment in 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and Apocalypse of Abraham FINAL
    Abstract Judgment in 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and Apocalypse of Abraham By: Jason Ford When the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem’s temple in 70 CE, it altered Jewish imagination and compelled religious and community leaders to devise messages of consolation. These messages needed to address both the contemporary situation and maintain continuity with Israel’s religious history. 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and Apocalypse of Abraham are three important witnesses to these new messages hope in the face of devastation. In this dissertation I focus on how these three authors used and explored the important religious theme of judgment. Regarding 4 Ezra, I argue that by focusing our reading on judgment and its role in the text’s message we uncover 4 Ezra’s essential meaning. 4 Ezra’s main character misunderstands the implications of the destroyed Temple and, despite rounds of dialogue with and angelic interlocutor, he only comes to see God’s justice for Israel in light of the end-time judgment God shows him in two visions. Woven deeply into the fabric of his story, the author of 2 Baruch utilizes judgment for different purposes. With the community’s stability and guidance in question, 2 Baruch promises the coming of God’s judgment on the wicked nations, as well as the heavenly reward for Israel itself. In that way, judgment serves a pedagogical purpose in 2 Baruch–to stabilize and inspire the community through its teaching. Of the three texts, Apocalypse of Abraham explores the meaning of judgment must directly. It also offers the most radical portrayal of judgment.

  • Miriam Rebecca Leah from Blacks Or Jews). the Centrality of Hitler's
    WERN E R L EO L OE WEN ST EIN , M . D . Schwartzen oder Juden" (We have blood only from Blacks or Jews). Miriam The centrality of Hitler's racial purity myths in Nazi ideology required the extermination of Jews. Thus, you will appreciate the irony of the unanimous response of those wounded S.S. officers, the epitome of the Aryan ideal, in need of blood: "Das macht nichts" (It doesn't matter). Blood is blood after all, and its common denominator is always red, despite the race of the donor. Rebecca There isn't much humor to be found in the Holocaust. Perhaps this is it: a Jewish doctor who was denied the nationality of his birth, telling wounded S.S. officers they are about to receive blood from Untermenschen (sub­ humans). Leah And, 76 years later, his daughter and two granddaughters are standing here this evening to tell you this story after regaining our German citizenship, a right passed along to us because it was denied to him. [End of Yom HaShoah reading.] When people ask me why I became a German citizen and encouraged my children to obtain their citizenship papers (Einbiirgerungsurkunde), I cite my father. In the 1970s, the German Consulate placed an announcement in the A ujbau, a weekly German­ Jewish newspaper for the emigre community, to which we subscribed. I used to love to try to read it, but since it was half auf Deutsch (in German), it was a challenge. The ad declared that if anyone had been denied a professional license during the Third Reich, upon submission of proper documentation, they could receive their license (medical, legal, teaching, etc.).

  • I Will Pour out My Spirit on All Flesh (Joel 3:1)
    I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH (JOEL 3:1) MORDECAI SCHREIBER 1 In a way, like Deutero-Isaiah, Joel is a mysterious prophet, except for the fact that we know his name. There is absolutely no agreement as to when he lived and prophesied. He has been shifted around by the traditional Jewish sources and by modern scholars from 800 BCE to 500 BCE and even later. He is sandwiched in the "Twelve Prophets" between Hosea and Amos, which would make him one of the early prophets, yet he seems unconnected to a particular time or place. As such, he is somewhat lost in the shuffle and does 2 not receive enough attention. His main vision has to do with a plague of four different kinds of locust that invade the land and cause total devastation. It is not clear whether he is referring to an actual plague or is using symbolic lan- guage to describe the enemies of Israel. In four short chapters, Joel alludes to the prophecies of several of his colleagues, as when he reverses Isaiah's words in the vision of the end of days about beating swords into ploughshares (Isa. 2:4, Joel 4:10), or when he uses Amos's image of God roaring like a lion (Amos 1:2, Joel 4:16). Like other literary prophets, he has his own vision of 3 the Day of Adonai, which includes the following prediction that deserves a very close reading: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit (Joel 3:1-2).

  • The Jesse Tree Who Was Jesse?
    THE JESSE TREE WHO WAS JESSE? The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah's words helped people L- know that the One who was promised to them by God would be born into the family of Jesse. " A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse and from his roots a bud shall blossom." Isaiah II: I-10 Jesse of Bethlehem had seven sons. Jesse's youngest son, David, watched over the sheep for him. One day the prophet Samuel came to Jesse's house and met David. Samuel anointed David. Many years later, David became King. It was from Jesse that the family tree branched out to David and his descendants. Jesse and David were ancestors of Jesus. At the time of Jesus' birth all those who belonged to the family of David had to return to the town of Bethlehem because a census was being taken. Since Joseph and Mary were of the House of David, they had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem to register. WHAT IS THE JESSE TREE? The Jesse Tree is a special tree used during the season of Advent. The Jesse Tree represents the family tree of Jesus. It serves as a reminder of the human family of Jesus. The uniqueness of the Jesse Tree comes from the ornaments that are used to decorate it. They are symbols that depict the ancestors of Jesus or a prophecy fulfilled at His coming. Traditionally, the Jesse Tree ornaments also included representations of Adam, F.ve and Creation. These symbolize the promise.. The Jesse Tree Book SUGGESTIONS FOR JESSE TREE ORNAMENTS Directions: The list of names below are Sarah: Genesis 15 and 21 suggestions that can be used for Jesse Tree Ornaments.
