were not the only commandments given to Moses by God. When Moses wrote down all of the commandments to create a rough draft of what would become the Torah‚ he logged all 613 mitzvot (commandments) that the Jewish people should follow—they became laws for the Jewish community to live by. The Jewish population follows these rules because they come directly from God and they are very important in order to live a healthy physical and spiritual life. The role of law in Judaism is that if all of them are

The part that I personally found the most sorrowful in Night written by Elie Wiesel is when he and his father get separated from each other due to his father’s death. The bond between the two was unbreakable and they never thought that they would be able to get through it all without each other. They agreed that neither of them would let this bond fade. This is why when Elie and his father do get separated it is so heartbreaking. They had always agreed that they would of died for one another if it

When someone says they’re Jewish‚ that can mean a couple things. Either that is their religion‚ or their ethnicity‚ it could even be both. Judaism is the term of following the Jewish religion. Judaism isn’t a religion based off of one single founder or central leader‚ nor is it based off theological decisions made from a group. The Judaism religion is better described as an Israel way of life that’s based off of the Tanakh. The Tanakh is essentially a different version of the Christians “Old Testament

My featured painting today entitled The Night was painted by Max Beckmann during 1918 and 1919. It is housed at the Kunstammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen‚ Dusseldorf. This is an early example of Beckmann’s grotesque and appalling visionary paintings with its misshapen figures. Before us we have an overcrowded room in a modern city. Beckman himself said he wanted this work to be looked upon as a large modern history painting tinged with a sense of evil. Three men have invaded the room and are terrorising

For instance there were four specific periods in Jewish history. The Persian Period (ca. 537-332 BCE) in which the Jewish nation was ruled by high priests with minimal interference from Persian Kings.

Seeing the monkeys in the painting Exotic Landscapes and what are they trying to achieve acting like slaves‚ it enforces the belief of dehumanization and how the public is viewed from the government in 1984. While Winston is eating and talking to one of his friends named Syme‚ he begins to describe his lunch stating‚ “Onto each dumped swiftly the regulation lunch—metal pannikin of pinkish-gray stew‚ a hunk of bread‚ a cube of cheese‚ a mug of milkless Victory Coffee‚ and one saccharine tablet.”

For some people food is just a necessity to satisfy a basic human need‚ for others food is more than just a basic necessity; food is an integral part of a material culture that individuals identify with‚ enjoy‚ and consume. Few activities are as instinctive and provide a significant impact on us in so many multiple ways (biologically‚ psychologically and spiritually) such as eating. In our most primitive development‚ mankind has distinguished between food fit for consumption and food unfit for consumption

On August 18‚ I attended a Jewish service at Temple Emanu-El in Westfield‚ New Jersey. First‚ there was a prayer circle dedicated to the victims of the Virginia riots.

The events practiced during the Jewish service reminded me of my own religion‚ Christianity. I chose this event to attend because Judaism is the other most
