Sacred Texts of Judaism are no longer valid in today’s society.
Sacred Texts of Judaism include the Tanak and The Torah. The Torah which is the first five books of the Tanak is considered the law. The question posed today is: are these sacred texts still valid in today’s society? This essay will explore the importance of these sacred texts in Judaism and the importance the Torah plays in schools and how it is now compulsory to be taught to children.
The sacred texts of Judaism are divided into three: the Torah, Nev’im and the Ketuvim. Together these three sections are known as the Tanak. The importance of Judaism’s sacred texts extends far beyond today’s society. Sacred texts are especially important to the Jews as they are core to the Jewish law, belief and worship. These ancient texts not only embody religious concepts, but also cultural and historical heritage. The stories and ideas presented in the sacred texts are still evident in much of Israel’s modern culture, which draws on the stories and ideas present to mould the present and future.
The Jewish sacred texts are still considered sacred with some even still written in Aramaic, an ancient language used in the 6th century. In 2008 bible studies was included in the school curriculum of all school children in Israel with universities to pursue the study of those texts. The sacred texts are also evident in modern art and literature, which focus on ancient stories apparent in the sacred texts. The modern day technology has had no affect on the sacred texts as they have now been made in to “Torah software” which can be accessed online and on CD- ROM’s.
The hypothesis is Sacred Texts of Judaism are no longer valid in today’s society. From the above examples and information it can be seen that The Torah and Tanak are still valid in today’s society with it being compulsory for school age children to learn. A more accurate hypothesis would be Sacred Texts of Judaism are still valid in today’s society.
