Synagogue

I learned a lot about Judaism and the synagogue. From outside I felt like the synagogue looked like a normal church but when I went inside I didn't think that anymore. Inside the synagogue there was a school for young kids and on the other side there was the room where services are held. When entering the room for services I notice there is a wall that separates half of the church and the rabbi stands directly in the center of the wall during services.

The women helped with this matter by forming sisterhoods in each congregation. The work they did to support educational programming became the backbone of the educational mission of the conservative synagogues. These sisterhoods began to take on projects with the intentions of enhancing synagogue life and contributed both financially through fundraising and through countless volunteer hours.

The “Village of Nahum” or “Nahum 's Town”. This is the meaning of the name and the root of the name Capernaum. The name Capernaum is the English transliteration of the greek Kapernaoym and Kapharnaoym which are in turn a corruption of the Aramaic name Kepar Nahum.

The holy days were the Sabbath, Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkoth; and circumcision, dietary laws, and laws pertaining to

On Friday, March 11, I attended a Sabbath evening service at the Congregation Beth Shalom Synagogue in Naperville. Being raised and only attending the Roman Catholic Church, I was nervous about attending a service for a faith to which I did not belong and which was not even part of my heritage.

In addition to breaking down many barriers such as being a black, lesbian, and a future rabbi, Lawson stated she is “eager to take Jewish practice outside the traditional bounds of the synagogue”. Lawson, who is 45 years old, finds herself being a unique minority within the American Jewish community while living within the diverse multicultural, openly gay heart of Philadelphia.

Chaim which is a Reformed Jewish synagogue. I have been though many different Christian church so going to a synagogue is a different experience than what I have grown up with. This should an interesting experience. For this paper I will describe my visit and go over things I thought were important, interesting or things that I couldn’t get out of my mind.
