Michelle Arnold Introduction to Judaism Monday & Wednesday 9-12 When I visited my first Jewish synagogue, I expected it to be very different. My previous experience with religious ceremonies was limited to a few visits to Baptist churches.

I went into the religious visit expecting an enormous difference in the customs and perhaps even in the attitudes of the people attending

Though there are several factors that I considered when deciding where to do my fieldwork paper, I chose Beth Israel Synagogue located in Lexington Park, Maryland primarily for accessibility. St. Mary’s County is a rural area with a predominately Christian population.

The Judaism religious group practice their religion on the Sabbath day, which meant that they service I attended was on Saturday at 10:30. The Touro synagogue is a more reform synagogue. When first arriving at the Synagogue I was nervous and scared about not being received by everyone. Also, I think I acted off these

It was Saturday morning, October 15th 2016, that my friends and I visited Touro Synagogue. We attended a synagogue Sabbath worship. Upon coming into the small chapel, I was struck by the magnificent architecture of the place. It was a warm place with a nice chandelier and upper glass that brings the sunlight into the chapel. As I went further inside the chapel, a lady greeted me with the phrase “Shabbat shalom.” All the people were friendly and greeted us with a smile. We had some small introductions

The Bnei Hatorah Synagogue situated in Har Nof Jerusalem, was hosting the routine prayer group. The Vesikin Minyan; a culmination of Jerusalem’s finest was reaching to its crescendo with the recital of the ancient battle cry of the Jewish Nation; the Shema. Yes, the cry which served as the surrender of life for Jews throughout our historic existence, has yet again served its purpose. At precisely seven A.M. the Shul was invaded.
