In the 12th century, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, known as the Rambam, was extremely influential as both a Torah commentary and a physician. He produced works in both Biblical and Talmudic studies as well as writings on health of both the mind and the body. He believed that Hashem has created everything including remedies for all illnesses and rules for a healthy lifestyle. He believes that if a sickness can be treated by nutrition, no other means should be used. The Rambam writes about the ideal

Referred to as “Tanak” by Jews, the Hebrew Bible contains twenty-four books characterized by three categories: The Torah, the Nevi’im, and the Ketuvim, which outline the history and beliefs of the Jewish faith. The Torah, commonly known as the “Law of Moses,” contains the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These five narrative books cover the Biblical eras of creation, the patriarchs, and the exodus. In Genesis 1, God created everything from nothing at His will in six

significant in that it is one of only two of the Minor Prophetic books that are addressed entirely to a nation other than Israel and Judah. The Book of Obadiah deals with the ancient feud between Israel and the nation of Edom, between the descendants of Jacob and those of his brother Esau. Through the prophet Obadiah, the Lord expressed His indignation at the nation of Edom. When they should have been helping their relatives, they were gloating over the Israelites’ problems and raiding their homes. “The

Worldview “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverb 14:12.)

Through the promise and power of God, Isaac was indeed born to them. In time, Isaac begot Jacob who became known by the name Israel. He fathered 12 sons from whom the twelve tribes of Israel were descended. They are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad, Asher, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan and Naphtali. Joseph’s brothers sold him into

29 September 2015 Jacob 's Journey In the Bible God has had important characters influence and handle important events that have happen. God guides these people and uses them to do his work and sometimes to point people towards Him. Genesis 32:28 Your name is no longer to become Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed (Jacob 21).

the Lord God showed me: he was forming locusts at the time the latter growth began to sprout (it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings). When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, ‘Oh Lord God, forgive I beg you! How can Jacob stand? He is so small! The Lord relented concerning this; ‘It shall not be,’ said

For this child observation, I decided to observe my younger brother Jacob. Jacob is 5 years old, but he insisted that I write that he is almost 6. He is also in kindergarten this year and loving every second of being a loud, rowdy boy. I suppose I am at an advantage in this observation since I have seen the numerous developments in Jacob’s life thus far. Jacob is a loud, rambunctious, and wild child. As he is the youngest child, he demands attention from everyone else and when he does not get

The Odyssey by Homer and the Old Testaments: King James Version are two of the most read and most sophisticated pieces of literature that have transcended through generations. While they share similar qualities; both greatly differ as well, especially when it comes to the women characters. Classical historian and professor of classical studies at Wellesley College, Mary Lefkowitz, makes a significant contrast between these two famous writings. She believes that a major difference between the women
