Jewish partisans

The main focus of this essay is what makes KKBE a jewish space. Many people would think that it’s a jewish space because it’s a synagogue one of the most important parts of jewish live. Others would say it is jewish just because it is a place of worship just like how we know a church is christian since those are the people who worship there. I believe that it is much deeper than that. A theorist Abraham Joshua Heschel has a theory that spaces are not important because they are spaces, but because

Upon 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. On the

Within the past couple of weeks, I had the opportunity to engage in a religious minority event. I attended the Hillel Jewish Center here on Purdue’s campus. Hillel is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, and I found it very fascinating that I got to take part in this new learning experience. I am from a small town where everyone knows everyone, and there is very little diversity in race or ethnic groups. I was raised in a Christian family and I attended church every Sunday. I have

Would you go for it if there is chance for you to go overseas and see what really the word is all about, or would you rather staying in your comfort zone where you are not even able to see how much biased you are? In most cases, we make sense of things through our ability to see and to think; in other words, our perspectives are the mechanisms that we label things such as, good, bad, helpful or dangerous. Expanding one’s perspective is very essential to expand the way s/he analyze things, and doing

degree of this characteristic varies for each individual and depends on the person’s capabilities and willingness to attain a goal. In the Night, author Elie Wiesel provide the readers with an insight of how determination became the guidance for the Jewish people who suffered dreadful torture and endured a horrid lifestyle under the Nazi’s fascist and anti-semitic regime. Furthermore, due to

On our free day, along with my classmates we took a trip to Nazareth. Upon hearing about this optional visit I assumed it would be more sightseeing. On the whole however, I found that through speaking with the locals and watching people I learned a great deal about immigration in Israel both in the context of Ethiopian immigrants and in general. The first person I spoke to in Nazareth was a shopkeeper who after I bought a couple items for family members spoke to me about the state of Ethiopians

sure that many people on this campus and in San Francisco would say that this is a clear indicator of “the gorilla in the room”. By separating genders during the prayer service it is reinforcing the belief that women play a different role than men in jewish spiritual life. I can’t 100% speak for my colleagues, but the classmates who were with me did not seem particularly pleased to be separated from the rest of group. In addition, the prayer service was not given in english. Everything was done in hebrew

interaction which has taken place amongst the Christian and various world religions who also wear the same uniform in defense of America. It was the pleasure of the writer to attend a local synagogue in which his Jewish brothers and sisters welcomed him with open arms. The local congregation of Jewish believers went out of their way in order to ensure their newest visitor understood the flow of service and the significance of the ritual which took place on the first Shabbat or Sabbath of the month. The

The Jewish Holocaust, one of the most horrific mass murders in human history, took place from January 30, 1933 until May 8, 1945. Hitler blamed the Jewish population for Germany’s downfalls at the time, and his anti-Semitic views eventually led Germany to create a complicated scheme of Jewish extermination. Over six million Jewish lives were lost in this mass murder. America, usually portrayed as the country that lends a helping hand to all nations in desperate need, did absolutely nothing to aid

Therefore, by combining these two definitions, we can define the Hebrew Diaspora as the dispersion of the Jewish peoples from their homeland. Now that we have defined the Hebrew diaspora, we can efficiently pinpoint its causes and consequences, both direct and underlying, and hopefully identify the modern consequences of diaspora through analysis of this classic example. About four millenniums ago, Jewish history began with its patriarchs: Abraham, son Isaac, and grandson Jacob. As described in the Book
