Located at 90 Hasell Street in the historic district of downtown Charleston, remains the second oldest synagogue in the United States, the Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim synagogue. The original building has been rebuilt and modified several times throughout history following damage done by catastrophic events such as fire, earthquakes, and vandalism. The KKBE has not only served as a place for worship, but has provided a haven of security and prosperity for the Jewish community in Charleston for centuries. In addition to its religious importance, the synagogue itself is a quaint and beautifully crafted building representative of Charleston’s religious architecture in the 1800’s. The synagogue’s style fits effortlessly into the city’s cultural

His parents always provided him with the opportunity to participate and succeed in his athletic career. Sometimes Darion struggled making it to practice since both his parents worked and he did not have a car. When asked what limitations he believes that influenced him in his youth he brought up an interesting point “Due to the multiple dangerous areas in my community, I sometimes had to take the long way or figure out a ride hours beforehand.” Darion experienced the privatization of youth sports when he joined a club baseball team paid for by his parents. Darion saw first-hand how even though some of his friends or other players could have made the team as well, but could not afford it. Along with baseball, his parents “invested in his future” by hiring a personal trainer for him to excel in

The native endangered language, Karaim, is predominately spoken in Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania. The language originates from the Crimean Peninsula and is still spoken by approximately 50 people in Lithuania (Carlson,Charles “Karaims Struggle to Maintain their Language and Culture”). Karaim is originally a member of the Turkic language; a group of languages in Eurasia spoken by historically nomadic people. Karaim people lived in the tribal union of the Khazar Empire located in Crimea during the eighth and tenth centuries. During this time the Karaims converted to a form of Judaism known as Karaism, “meaning to return to your roots” (Carlson,Charles “Karaims Struggle to Maintain their Language and Culture”). However, they later began to split into groups and move to different areas of the country such as Galicia and what is now Trakai, a town in present day Lithuania. Nearly 100 years later, the vast majority of the Karaim population decreased due to the diffusion of numerous native Karaim speakers under the Soviet regime post World War II (Carlson,Charles “Karaims Struggle to Maintain their Language and Culture”). Although the current number of native Karaim speakers is diminutive, causing the language to be considered endangered, it is possible for the language to survive and be revitalized

He was not just a valued leader though, for he trained harshly as a kid to become a skilled fighter, hunter and also horseman. Philosophy also played a huge role in his lifespan.

According to Amir lanis KHELIL, “Playing sports teaches life lessons like discipline, responsibility, self-confidence, accountability, and teamwork.” High school athletes who are challenged every day in the classroom often find that having a break from all the school gives them a mental refresher. Sports help students develop distinct qualities that a classroom could never teach. For example, sports help teach athletes how to work with one another rather than working alone. High school athletes who develop these features are more prepared to go out into the real world than are students who do not play sports. Building mental toughness, physical health, and discipline establishes the groundwork of becoming a successful high school athlete.

Before Genghis Khan died in 1127, he assigned his son, Ogedei Khan as his successor and divided his empire into khanates among his sons and grandsons. His initial act was the division of the Empire into four khanates, as many as his sons from his first wife Bortie were (Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedei and Tolui). His eldest son Joshi though, died six months before him and the lands occupied by the Mongols, which included southern Russia and Kazakhstan, were given to Jochi's eldest sons: Orda, who became the leader of the White Horde and Batu, who became the ruler of the Blue Horde and later of the Golden Horde.

Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. From the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, who did much to establish the mathematical tradition we now know as algebra, to Ibn Sina, a pioneer of early medicine whose Canon of Medicine was still in use as recently as the 19th century, he pieces together a remarkable story of the often-overlooked achievements of the early medieval Islamic scientists.

Playing a sport or being part of a high school athletic team is something that is very common in today’s society. Whether male or female, there are many different sports to choose from. Baseball, football, and soccer are three of the main sports that boys participate in. For girls, it may vary from softball, soccer, tennis, and sometimes even cheerleading. Whatever a person’s preference may be, playing any sport can be very demanding. The number of high school students who play a sport is one that increases every school year; the effects of playing a sport in high school are losing free time, staying fit, and struggling to maintain high grades throughout the sporting season and school year.

When Mahmud Ghazan, the seventh ruler of the Mongol Empire's Ilkhanate division, came to power after his father Arghun, the economic state of Iran was deteriorating, the value of currency was decreasing and there was not enough wealth available for the government to rule over the country.
