Hallel

deals with Israel’s Yahweh has uniquely displayed his covenant loyalty and in doing so his purpose for all nations has been disclosed. Psalm 117 has a part of a sextet of songs; we can see this pattern from Psalms 113 to 118 known as the “Egyptian Hallel” which was built around the emphasis of Psalm 114 the celebration of the Exodus. I seemed these six psalms songs were sung in the synagogue where Hebrews gathered to celebrate the Passover. God’s is a great act of salvation on their behalf. In Psalms

I chose to attend service at two different Jewish churches. The first one was Congregation Gesher L’Torah in Alpharetta, Georgia and the second was Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell, Georgia. Though both were of the Judaism religion, there were some differences. I attended a Friday night service at Congregation Gesher L’Torah. My apprehensions about being black and going to a Jewish church made me invite a friend to go with me. I was glad I did, as the stares and long looks we got during the service

Several of the Psalms are noted as being a Psalm of David. Many are referenced by the word Miktam or Michtam. The meaning of the word is uncertain, but many scholars refer to it as a “golden psalm.” There are many other suggestions such as, stelegraphic publication, atonement psalm, or even secret prayer.

Seder Observation A Passover Seder is a religious holiday service for the Jews. Passover is the retelling and celebration of the Jews exodus from Slavery. The decedents of the Jews were slaves in Egypt and through a successful rebellion were able to escape slavery into freedom. The story of the Exodus is due to the many decades of slavery put on the Jews by the Egyptian pharaohs. God saw the Israelite’s distress and sent Moses to the Pharaoh warning the Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery

The Seder commemorates Passover, which has been celebrated longer than any other Jewish holiday. Many Rabbis think the traditions of the Seder were influenced by the Greek Symposium. The Symposium was a gathering at which ancient Greeks drank wine, ate, sang and discussed many topics. The Seder is an annual gathering in which Jews mark the beginning of the Passover holiday by drinking wine, telling stories, remembering their ancestors' slavery in Egypt and discussing the concept of freedom.

Belief and Grumbling in Israel’s Experience at Meribah and Jesus’ Statement of Living Water Kye Courtright BIBL 5253 John Harrison March 24, 2015 Introduction Jesus’ claims in John 7:37-38 about living water are often deemed important by readers, but the average reader does not see the importance of the cultural backdrop of the Feast of Booths and the historical events of Israel at Meribah coming to a climax at this moment.

is translated as sing a hymn and sing praise. Furthermore it also relates to the Jewish tradition of the singing of the paschal hymns (hymns celebrating the Passover). These hymns are found in Psalms 113 - 118 and Psalm 136 and known as the “great Hallel”. In the New Testament hymneō praise is mentioned four times – Matt 26:30, Mk 14:26; Acts 16:25; and Heb 2:12. Now I want us to focus on the word ‘worship’ and how it is translated in New Testament scriptures. Greek words for

"When people around the world were worshiping thunder and wind, the Jews had but one word to say - God." Judaism is one of the three major religions in our society today along with Islam and Christianity. Judaism believes there is only one God who created and presides over the world.
