The Biblical Story Of The Exodus Out Of Jews

The history of Jews in host cities often depict a story of success or of failure when it comes to relations between the Jews and the Christians in Europe. Historian Jonathan Elukin, author of Living Together, Living Apart, presents the integration as a success process with rare, and special cases, of failure. On the other side of the spectrum is historian Raymond P. Scheindlin. Scheindlin’s novel, A Short History of the Jewish People, presents many cases of integration between the Christians and Jews that led to massacres and brutal endings for the Jewish community. There are many monumental events that take place during the long span of time that oversees European Jewish history, and both historians study and evaluate the events, however, they do so through different lenses.

Exodus is the title. In the Greek language it means “departure” or “a way out.” In fact, there’s a Hebrew word for Exodus as well. The word is Shemoth which means “these are the names.” The phrase “these are the names” is alluding to the names of the sons of Jacob who moved to Egypt. (Elwell 736) Now that we know the meaning behind the name, let’s talk briefly about the significance of the name. It’s noteworthy to mention here because the meaning of Exodus implies what took place; the departure of Israel from Egypt to Canaan.

On a cold fall morning, hundreds of Jewish families woke up to be told that they were to come with the Nazis and that they would be leaving their homes. No explanation, no clue as to where they are going to end up, they bagged up their necessities. The mothers and fathers carried bags upon bags of things that they believed that they were going to get to keep. The children cried, the mothers trembled in fear, while the fathers tried to hold their families together. Out on the cold streets they went, to wait. The Nazis were mean, strict, and rude. Telling the not to move or talk, having them stand never giving them a break. Basically treating them like a dog they were trying to teach a new trick. They taunted and made fun of them and laughed at their looks.

The history of Jews in the United States of America is a long and arduous one. This relationship began in the first week of September 1654, when 23 Jewish immigrants landed at New Amsterdam, the Dutch colony ( Now known as Manhattan), and was immediacy ask to leave by the then governor Peter Stuyvesant, for as he said they should not be allowed to infest the new colony,(Schappes 9). The Jews immigrants refused and was later granted permission by the Dutch West India Company to stay , travel and trade. However, the major migration of Jews to the United States of America took place in three waves mainly known as the German period of immigrants1850-1870,

In the year 1980 at least over three million refugees has been accepted in the United States. In "Jews' Tale Plays Out Again, as Syrian Refugees Find Resistance to U.S. Entry." and "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees." they both have many common details about refugees and coming to a new land. They give so much description about what is it like being an immigrant. Yet they also have some many various different details too. In the end, they have many shared similarities and differences in both articles.

For some, it seems as if it was in another life time, but for others it will be something they will never forget. The holocaust was the extermination of the Jewish heritage and small ratio of other people whom Hitler considered inferior. It took place during 1933 to 1945. Adolf Hitler and his creation of the Nazi party in Germany led to this effort. About 12 million people were murdered, half of them being Jews. When Hitler took control over Germany that is when everything changed. Hitler had very strong prejudice against the Jews. He wanted to create a perfect race of German Christians all over the world. His followers, who were the soldiers in the concentration camps, were Nazis. They enforced all killing that Hitler wanted done. Also, there were many others involved in this massive genocide. Various race and religions supported this mass genocide and different groups of people were being killed, not only Jews. For instance, there were many doctors who ran tests on people, but didn’t care if the patients were hurt or even killed, which in most cases they usually were during the process. All surgeries were performed without any anesthetic causing real pain and harm to the patients. There are so many things that happened in this time period that is impossible to imagine or just are too horrible to think about.

The First Jewish Revolt (CE 66-70) was the first revolt in a series of rebellions against Roman authority by the Jewish people. Although this revolt met some principles of the Just War Theory, there were several criteria that were not met by the Jews launching the war. This conclusion can be reached from the writings of Historian Flavius Josephus, a primary source on the topic, and from many other sources also.

Chapter 25 I thought this was an excellent introduction to Jewish history in the middle Ages. It goes over the different aspects of Jewish History in the Middle Ages one case is the basic problems of their economic life. It is short but it gets right to the point. I think the writing is very easy to understand and is clear and concise. The framework of their history is established in this chapter and the problems with the term Middle Ages.

Honestly it was hard for me to understand the writing of Christopher Wright. When I read the material second time it made more sense to me. I understand how much effort and thoughts he put into understanding of the Exodus. I agree with Wright’s explanation of Exodus. He actually went really deep into the reason for the redemption as well as the symbolic value of it. Honestly I never thought that much about the redemption of Israel’s. I just thought God redeemed Israel because of his promise to their ancestor Abrahams. Now I know it more than that, it was the first redemption of chosen people. Exodus has way more meaning to me than a historic event because of this reading.

The earliest meanings of diaspora grew out of the history of Greek colonization of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor from the ninth through the seventh century BC and centred on the idea of dispersal through military conquest, colonization, commerce and migration. A crucial semantic shift was initiated through Greek translations of the Torah in the third century BC. In this translation, diaspora was used for a range of Hebrew words referring to scattering, banishment and uprooting, although it did not translate the Hebrew words galut and golah, two keywords’ for exile in the Jewish tradition. While golah is a theologically neutral reference to the physical dispersion of Jews, galut is an allusion to the moral degradation. Trauma and persecution

The man that I chose was Moses. The books that Moses are discussed in are Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. We know that when Moses was a baby boy his mother tried to hide him but when she no longer could she made a basket and sent him down the Nile River. Down the river the pharaohs daughter saw basket and fetched the maid to go and get it.When the maid opened it she saw the baby and asked what she should do and the pharaohs daughter told the maid to take it away and nurse it .Once the child got bigger the maid brought the baby back to the pharaohs daughter and he became her son and she named him Moses. When Moses got older he married a woman named Zipporah. Zipporah had a son and Moses called him Gershom. Moses also had another

In 1290, shortly after money lending was made illegal in England, Edward I deported the Jews from England and readmitted by Oliver Cromwell in 1656. Statistics show that one out of four Jews managed to stay in hiding during the Jewish exile from England which lasted three hundred and fifty years. One reason that the Jews were forcefully deported from England is that Christians believed their religion was superior therefore the Jews had to be banished. When the Jews were expelled from England, most Jews fled to Europe and managed to settle down there. The Jews were told to take what could be carried and nothing more. Successfully, Jewish people settled down in places like Venice, where trade and industry was popular. For example, in those cities,

Stemming from Exodus, it continues the journey of the Israelites as they continue to go to the Promised Land. The Israelites repeatedly complain about how they had been better off in Egypt, where they had meat and other such foods. They also complain about the massive size of enemies in the Promised Land and, despite knowing how powerful God is, complain once again. They are sent back into the desert where the generation that had defied God died off. Because of their rebelliousness, the curse of generations is put into effect. Once the old generation dies off, excluding the obedient, they complain just as their ancestors

Exodus felt as if he'd just been hit by a pound of bricks, his head spinning and pounding while his heart fluttered against his rib cage like the wings of a humming bird. Dizzy, blue eyes were swimming around the room meanwhile, taking in the sight of the kitchen he knew belonged to the Conspiracy clan. The timid goth had to recollect himself in those long, hesitant moments in an attempt to mentally unravel the events that just took place, until it was clear to him that he had managed to go back in time again, that his cruel mind had tricked him into believing that he was in danger-- that she was here, or perhaps more appropriately, that he was back /there./ And to make the situation worse, he had let Alastor bare witness to it. Not just the
