The Bnei Hatorah Synagogue Situated Of Har Nof Jerusalem

When I visited my first Jewish synagogue, I expected it to be very different. My previous experience with religious ceremonies was limited to a few visits to Baptist churches. The most surprising thing for me at this one was, oddly enough, its similarity to Christian services and rituals. I went into the religious visit expecting an enormous difference in the customs and perhaps even in the attitudes of the people attending the service. What I found instead was a religious ceremony very reminiscent of the Christian ones I’ve been to before.

The book is written exceptionally well and is very easy to follow. With an overwhelming amount of evidence and an incisive argument, Steinberg is able to skew the focus from a political agenda and powerfully raise questions in the mind of the reader. Steinberg brings light to the widely overlooked aspect of human influence with regard to natural disasters. The research presented is able to effects show the effects this neglect of information has had on an overwhelming number of poor victims. This book is a valuable read and presents numerous issues that need to be brought to the attention of both national and local officials. As stated by Oxford University Press, “Acts of God is a call to action that needs desperately to be

There were eight casualties from the Boston Massacre. Crisppus Attucks, James Caldwell, and Samuel Gray died immediately from the gunshots. Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr died shortly after the incident. Christopher Monk was wounded by the gunfire of British, but died ten years later. Historians disregard Monk as a death of the Boston Massacre because of this ("Boston Massacre Historical Society").

It happened because of the killing of a German officer, Ernst vom Rath by for a Polish Jew called Herschel Gynszpan (Moeller 105). I witnessed the frightful attack by the Nazis on places related to the Jews such as synagogues, their religious sites, and cemeteries (Bergen “Chapter 5”). All their shops’ windows had been smashed broken. The once graceful streets filled with shops have now been replaced by burned debris and fractures of broken glasses. The Nazis did not only attack their shops and dwellings, but they had also arrested and even murder huge number of Jews (Bergen “Chapter 5”). I saw a young girl being hurled down from a building. I wanted to help her but my timidity had locked both my feet on the ground. An owner of a shop had also been captured by the Stormtroopers, which separated him from his crying wife and daughter. At the sight of this, I thought of Bauer and became frightened for his condition. I leaped to his store, only to find an abandoned and distorted place. Fire has consumed Bauer’s shop, shelf was overthrown, glasses were shattered into pieces, and the safety of Bauer is the only one that I can hope for. When will this violence end? It saddens me to know that Germany is no longer the country it used to be, for racialism has covered it, and ‘unity’ has lost its

In the 12 years since the terrorist attacks on the world trade towers in New York city, thousands of hours of research and interviews has been conducted, scores of books have been written, and countless documentaries and films have been produced in an effort to help us understand how and why terrorists were able to carry out the massacre of nearly 3500 people. Despite the plethora of religious and nonreligious beliefs represented by the friends and family of those who died, one universal belief binds them all: the belief that an unspeakable act of cruelty has changed our nation and our people for all time. The name ascribed to this act of terrorism is debated widely. Some call it evil. Others call it nothing more than supreme cruelty.

Throughout the world, there are billions of people that profess belief in a religion that most adequately answers the questions that most people ask regarding the origination of life to the self-purpose. Furthermore, within society their holds many people that believe in different religions that can cause for people to become biased and ethnocentric when evaluating certain aspects of a different religion. Due to this task of delving into research of a religion outside of your own, I chose to further my understanding through observing a service at an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue. In being that I am a Christian, I will be observing from a perspective in which I am informed about some of the scripture, but puzzled when it comes to many of the

A man from the crowd threw a club hitting a soldier, immediately a shot was fired followed by a pause of about six seconds. Which in turn was followed by a round of shots Several men were wounded. The victims or the Boston Massacre Were Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell and Crispus Attucks, who died immediately. Patrick Carr was wounded and died 9 days later.

Yet, “mobile killing squads” began to kill the entire Jewish community, as their plan to kill the Jewish. After a waste they

The Siege of Jerusalem has been incongruously regarded as anything from a “chocolate covered tarantula” (Hanna 109) to “a work of moderation” (Narin Van Court 169). While these opinions greatly differ and are in immediate conflict with each other, there is no doubt from any critic that an important piece to the study of Siege is discussion of its treatment of Jews. Whether the poem is intended as an allegory for the crusades, or at its heart a piece of anti-Semitic literature as many suspect, there is a need to grapple with the portrayal of the Jews.

I visited the Beth Samuel Jewish Center, in Ambridge Pa. While I was there I meet up with Barbara Wilson, who is a Congregational Administrator at the synagogue. Before taking the tour she let me know some of the background information about the synagogue. First she explained to me that the Beth Samuel Jewish Center was the only synagogue on Beaver County, where it is located. She then went on the explain that they have families from all over the county coming to their religious services. I then asked if the synagogue was more conservative or reformed. This is when Barb explained that since Beth Samuel is the last synagogue left in the area they have to cater to both sides of the spectrum. Barb explained, “On different days of the week we have

Dan Michman focuses on ?? in “Jewish Leadership in Extremis” published in The Historiography of the Holocaust. Michman opens his discussion by challenging a few preceding notions that historians broadcasted. He begins by talking about the public discussion among Jews – survivors and others – during the first decade in 1945. He explains that the Judenräte were condemned as collaborators that were responsible for the whole debacle and at that time were dominated by enormous criticism.. By shining light on the views of the Judenräte in the 1940’s, Michman proves a point that in time, historical viewpoints change. To further his credibility of giving his readers a thorough background concerning the Jewish councils, he speaks Raul Hilberg and Hannah Arendt. These scholars published studies in the 1950’s and 1960’s and their research greatly influenced future discussions concerning

entering the general area of the synagogue, it looked like a school or a daycare, and then entering they had a simple directory for the main office for the school they held. When entering the building they had three areas where service could be held. When asked we were led, to what appeared to be, the smallest of the service rooms. Before entering the service they had a mini gallery of art pieces, such as sculptures, paintings, and specially designed emblems that they used for worship.
