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.

Judaism has great significance in our religions and history today. It’s interesting how each little thing can have such an important role in a whole religion. In conclusion, Jewish beliefs, customs, holidays, symbols, history, and the holocaust all play a crucial role in making Jews who they are

Since the beginning of the Judaism, the Jewish people have been subject to hardships and discrimination. They have not been allowed to have a stabile place of worship and have also faced persecution and atrocities that most of us can not even imagine. Three events that have had a big impact on the Jewish faith were the building and destruction of the First Great Temple, the Second Great Temple and the events of the Holocaust. In this paper, I will discuss these three events and also explain and give examples as to why I feel that the Jewish people have always been discriminated against and not allowed the freedom of worship.

For example, when Ayers was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he relied on his love of music to find moments of happiness. Once he left school to live on the streets, he continued to play his violin, and performed requests. Many people tried to help him by giving donations, or buying new strings, however he was the happiest when someone stopped and listened to the piece he was playing, “I doubt there was anyone or anything that could deliver the same peace that music brings him. He was in his sanctuary, eyes half-mast in tribute to the masters.” (Lopez). Ayers was able to find peace in music, but the next example is in the article, “On the Run From Everything but Each Other”, by Christopher Goffard. The author describes how another activity, jumping trains, was a refuge for a teenager named Kuntz. At school, Kuntz was failing most of his classes with incorrigible grades and at home his mom, assuming he had a learning disability, put him down. When he needed support the most he had no-one, especially when he was kicked out of school, as a result, he left his family for the railroads. There he found a makeshift family where he finally felt at ease, “‘The first time I ever got on a train -- it’s unexplainable,’ he said, ‘It’s a feeling of, like, where I belong.’” (Goffard). This family was a mix of kids and teens just like him. Traveling on the trains with his new friends became his home and refuge. While Kuntz and Ayers were able to find refuge in a location, some people might find refuge in

In the essay “Judaism and Economic Reform”, Norman Solomon, a Jewish-American journalist, presents a compelling argument on the basis of the need for economic reform while providing simple religious base solutions. While discussing two major economic problems that plague the world’s current economy, Solomon introduces the Jewish view of the global economy and their general view on economics as a whole. With this introduction to the Jewish worldview of economics we as readers are able to transition into understanding Solomon’s solutions of education & using Jewish law to improve the current state of the global economy. Although Solomon’s ideas of education and relying on Jewish law to improve the global economy seem logical, Sallie McFague,

This paper will examine and analyze the turning points in the construction of Jewish memory and the identity in Israel as influenced by and based on the events of the Holocaust.

But to fix the problems and to serve the students we must first have a vision of what good education is (Ravitvch). What is a good education? A good education isn’t just learning and comprehending, a good education should also teach us how to work well with others, to use our common sense, to expand our range of friends and how we think. Now, what are the goals of a true education? The goals of a true education are learning how to work for yourself by yourself, to grow and adapt as a whole person, to build up your character, and to have a desire to learn more. If our schools were to meet the goals of a true education, it would leave us with a thirst for knowledge that leaves you restless at night, that only education can fulfill.

In this reflection paper I will be reflecting on the Jewish Americans making America their home and Americans response to the Holocaust. I will first address how the Jewish Americans emigrated from other nations into the United States. Once they got here what they had to do to become Americans but also keeping their Jewish identity visible. I will then talk about the Americans Response to the Holocaust and supply information about Jews in the Holocaust also including my thoughts on the Holocaust by ending in my conclusion. The reason for immigrating to America is the endless opportunities and immense freedom.

Violence is one of the main causes of forced migration. The impacts of colonization are far-reaching and span generations. It is one of the factors that shape the world we live in today. Violence has negative impacts on individuals. It creates distance, distrust and forms disconnection between people. People who have experienced trauma need individual counseling or therapy to cope with their feelings. Mutual support groups are an effective form for individuals who are experiencing trauma. The approach to recovery is diverse and because it encourages individuals to view different themes and insights that they have in relation to their own traumatic experiences. It is important for clients to meet other people who share similar experiences. Once individuals gain confidence in their capacity and positive change they will begin to grow in society. The purpose of art as recovery is to provide a positive space for individuals to express themselves in different ways. Not everyone who attends the support group has to talk about their lived experience, nor does everyone share the same lived experiences. Art as a recovery provides a space to individual’s that is inclusive and promotes healing for individuals. In addition, Art as Resistance is another form of therapy that allows individuals to express their memories through art. There are different forms of art, this includes poetry, dance, painting, drawing and singing.

I had been a camper at Camp Fatima in the small town of Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire since I was 7. Camp Fatima is a place that allows children ages 5-15 participate in a multitude of activities that they would never be able to try back in their own hometowns. For example, the camp offers rock climbing, tubing, ultimate Frisbee, and another other sport/game that you could possibly think of. However, the most important part of this camp is its ability to develop lasting and meaningful friendships between the even most different campers. As I grew up,

Throughout the history of Judaism, Jewish people have faced ongoing persecution and discrimination. Despite these conflicts, the faith remains alive, strong, and continuously growing. Like many religions faced with adversity, Judaism has had to assimilate its faith to survive in an ever-changing world. One significant moment of change in the Jewish history, the fall of the Second Temple, had the opportunity to destroy Judaism, but the Jewish people bonded together and reformulated their religion in order to save their faith. The falling of the Second Temple marks a distinct change in the Jewish faith through the modification of ritual practices to accommodate their new mobile lifestyle. This change would forever impact the Jewish

For many centuries, the principles of the classical education were in the spotlight. The good of the individual, realizing his/her own potential were the purposes of the learning process. Cultural development is the aim of the classical education. It stands above everything, including religion. (Nietzsche, n. p.). Referring to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” to interpret the classical education in modern society, we can say that
