1:6 How are the political aspirations of Judaism given a spiritual fulfillment in Acts? What two interrelated traditions echo in question of the disciples about restoration of the kingdom to Israel? How does Acts confirm the hopes of the disciples?

The dynamic nature of Judaism offers a successful living religion as a result of its strongly withheld characteristics. Through essential characteristics such as central beliefs, sacred texts, writings, ethical teachings and rituals and ceremonies, Judaism offers a dynamic nature and liveable religion that connects an individual and society with its roots. The way this living religion advances and grows is because of its dynamic characteristics as a whole. Importantly, these characteristics combined form the true nature of the religion rather than separately.

Jesus challenged the ideas, beliefs and actions in Jewish society that he lived in causing many people to despise him. He had broken the tradition various times of starting conversations with women. He challenged the custom allowing men to divorce their wives as it leaves the women in danger and hopeless, it states in John 4: 1-27. Jesus challenged the Jewish custom of allowing men to divorce their wives for any reason, a tradition that endangered women's lives because they had no other means of support in the patriarchal culture. He also broke the tradition for touching women during prayer for healing or allowing them to touch him. It is written in the bible, Mark 5: 25-34 when a woman reached out to him while he was teaching. The woman was suffering from a bleeding disorder and was therefore considered unclean, making his actions even more radical. He also associated with people that were considered unclean by the Jewish Society, these people suffered from dieses, disabilities and medical conditions. They viewed as having done something sinful in their life which had caused God to punish them. A famous passage in the bible states Jesus healed a leper by touching him, according to Matthew 8: 1-4, and a boy with epilepsy in Luke 9: 40-44. By associating with these people had caused them to react negatively by calling a glutton, drunkard and sinner. Mohatma Ghandi challenged the British rule and many other social problems causing many of

The context of this will be showing how Judaism and Christianity more similar than most people think. Three ways these two religions are the same are, both are monotheistic, how both share same holy city, and their beliefs to the “Good Life.”

The introduction and development of Judaism was not easy. On one hand the people have to adjust to the new place and on the other hand the Jews population have to deal with the different traditions , language, and economic between their religion. Therefore, the main challenge faced by the Jews was the division between German and Eastern European Jews, because it created dispersal communities incapables of supporting Jews in need after the Second World War.

There are many different aspects of Second Temple Judaism that create its worldview. Some aspects range from daily rituals to the holy people who teach God’s word. With knowledge of why these things were important during the Second Temple period, one will better be able to grasp the teachings of Jesus and the reasons behind what he did. There are three important aspects to consider about STP. First is the common religion of the Jewish people. Second is the worldview associated with this religion. Third is the impact Jesus had on this worldview and how he affected it during his ministry as portrayed in the Synoptic Gospels.

A messiah is a rather ambiguous term. It mainly means an anointed one; usually a messiah is considered to be a son of David and would reestablish Israel to what it once was. Because messiahs are anointed ones they would typically be Jewish priests, prophets and kings. However, a Messiah can also be a warrior, or a man of peace. (CITE) A messiah was to reestablish unity among the Jewish people and navigate through the hardships and oppression that they went through during early Judaism and bring a sense of freedom and relief. An array of messianic claimants came forth during the two peaks of Jewish rebellion, the death of King Herod the Great and the first Jewish war against the Romans.

Belief in the eventual coming of the moshiach is a basic and fundamental part of traditional Judaism. It is part of Rambam's 13 Principles of Faith, the minimum requirements of Jewish belief. In the Shemoneh Esrei prayer, recited three times daily, we pray for all of the elements of the coming of the moshiach: ingathering of the exiles; restoration of the religious courts of justice; an end of wickedness, sin and heresy; reward to the righteous; rebuilding of Jerusalem; restoration of the line of King David; and restoration of Temple service.

The Star of David (✡), known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David (Hebrew מָגֵן דָּוִד; Biblical Hebrew Māḡēn Dāwīḏ [maːˈɣeːn daːˈwiːð], Tiberian [mɔˈɣen dɔˈvið], Modern Hebrew [maˈɡen daˈvid], Ashkenazi Hebrew and Yiddish Mogein Dovid [ˈmɔɡeɪn ˈdɔvid] or Mogen Dovid), is a generally recognized symbol of modern Jewish identity and Judaism.[1] Its shape is that of a hexagram, the compound of two equilateral triangles. Unlike the menorah, the Lion of Judah, the shofar and the lulav, the Star of David was never a uniquely Jewish symbol.[2]

Judaism originated a very long time ago, it is a part of the Bronze Age Polytheistic Ancient Semitic religions. The Jewish calendar goes back more than 5000 years, most scholars date the beginning of the religion of the Israelites to the known founder, Abraham, whose life is generally dated around 2000 to 1800 B.C.E. Abraham came to believe that the universe was the works of a single creator, and taught this to other believers. Therefore, Judaism is the first recorded religion to advocate monotheism, meaning there is only one God. Both Christianity and Islam found some of their roots in Judaism, about 2,000 years after Abraham, Jesus was born into Judaism. Then after Jesus, Muhammad could trace his ancestry back to Abraham. Judaism has three essential parts the written Torah, the recognition of Israel, which are the descendants of Abraham, as uniquely holy people chosen by God, and also it is a requirement that Israel lives in accordance with God's laws as it’s said in the Torah.

While the Savior, Jesus Christ, was being born in a barn, producing absurd miracles, and dying for the sins of the entire world, many Palestinians were unfazed. In fact, they were continuing with their everyday lives and routines, without even a blink of the eye. To them, Jesus was just another figure to gossip and talk about, not the basis of an entire religion, at least not during their time.

Muhammad who urged his followers to surrender to Allah; their creator and sustainer. It’s made of 2 major groups; the Shia and Sunni and they believe and adhere to the Quran in their daily life. Moreover, it has 1.5 Billion followers. Different from that, Judaism traces its roots to 1800 B.C. to the ancient Eastern region of Canaan (present Israel and Palestine religions) and is based on their spiritual ancestors Abraham, Jacob and Isaac especially on the covenant God made with Abraham and his lineage to give them a holy land and make them a sacred population. There are 14 million followers of Judaism in the world today and they use the

I learned a lot about Judaism and the synagogue. From outside I felt like the synagogue looked like a normal church but when I went inside I didn't think that anymore. Inside the synagogue there was a school for young kids and on the other side there was the room where services are held. When entering the room for services I notice there is a wall that separates half of the church and the rabbi stands directly in the center of the wall during services. Behind the rabbi was beautiful stained glass and there was lights all the way around the room and they had the star of david directly in the center. I thought the synagogue had a different smell our school sometimes smells the same as the synagogue smelt. I learned that the reason the room is

Jews from Eastern Europe immigrated to the USA almost after the founding of the Nation, but they arrived in droves only between the period of the two World wars when czarist persecution became overwhelming and Jews sought the land paved with gold (and they really believed it to be such calling America the 'Goldeneh medinah' (Golden Nation) ) with a fervor and frenzy. This number increased after world war II and today many of the Jews who live in America originate from Eastern Europe.
