Shavuot

Some also say Paul in trying to keep the festival also means that Christians should worship as the Jew does since the Christian faith is derivative of it. That was settled in Acts 15, was it not? That conclusion delivered by Judas and Silas after the debate say, “You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.” Although there is no direct command to keep all the festivals

Jesus and Hanukkah Yeshua, (Jesus) did not spend a lot of time in Jerusalem. Most of His ministry is recorded to be around Galilee. He would have made His pilgrimage to Jerusalem on the following appointed feast days: Pesach or Passover Shavuot or Pentecost Yom Kippur or The Day of Atonement Rosh Hashanah, Yom Teruah or Jewish New Year The Feast of Trumpets Sukkot or The Feast of Tabernacles. He is however found in Jerusalem on the 25th of Kislev. Kislev is the ninth month on the Biblical

this special designation and the task that accompanies it. God promises the land of Canaan to Israel as their homeland, the place in which the Temple will be built and sacrificial worship of God carried out.

What was so compelling about the Christian God that helped the Israelites hold onto their beliefs after being exiled? This question came to me as I read Hanneken. He states, “They could have given up and assimilated to the culture… Instead, they developed the idea that their God had not been defeated, but planned the exile for their own long-term good, and remained with them.” This was a clear departure in thought at the time and begs the question why? Understanding why the Israelites held onto God

Within the new testament there are the Gospels which tell the story of Jesus Christ, Messiah. Of the four gospels three of them are considered Synoptic because they were written in a manner that is similar enough that there is a stark contrast with the 4th gospel. When thinking of the New Testament, it is disconnected from Judaism even though Jesus and most of his disciples(?) would have been Jewish. So, my goal is to explore how the gospels of Mathew and Luke differ and how those differences relate

Judaism is a strictly monotheistic religion, with the major and only deity being Yahweh. This name is not spoken out loud and is abbreviated YHWH or sometimes G-D in texts and Jewish tradition because of the holiness that portrayed through the name of God. Yahweh is a living God that is not only eternal and the creator of all things but is perfect, good and just. God also shows himself in ways that change history and gives an outline of how to live in a holy way. God is also the only one that should

The holocaust was the systematic killing of over 6 million Jews by the Nazis and their partners. Although many Jews were killed, many were also able to survive the gruesome times ahead of them, such as the Brichta Family and the Grossman Family. The Bricta family consisted of Hermann Brichta, Toni Brichta, Franz Brichta, and their close relative Fritz Wasservogel. Hermann Brichta was born on a farm in 1897 surrounded by neighboring Czechs. Hermann was an active participant in WWI and was discharged
