walking up to a security guard. Although at first glance it didn't seem very welcoming, my perspective would soon change. The security guard was one of the most friendly security guards I’ve ever met. Since I was a little flustered about being in a synagogue for the first time, I asked him if there was any sign in spot for students from USF. The security guard said in an extremely friendly manner that he didn’t know anything about USF but he would be happy to point me in the direction of the rabbi’s

Christian church originated from worship in the Jewish synagogues and is in fact “the direct inheritance of the early Christian church.” However, there is nothing in the New Testament that even hints that Christian worship came from the synagogues. Hence, any argument that Price tries to make based upon this is invalid. Worship in the early church was dictated by the apostles through the authority of Christ and had nothing to do with worship in the synagogues (1 Tim. 3:15), according to the Scriptures. Price

Christians celebrate it on a Sunday. It is a day of rest and worship. Christians celebrate it on a Sunday because that Is the day of the resurrection (Easter Sunday). Jesus was Jewish. He was a good Jew. Jesus worshiped in the synagogue on the Sabbath, but he used to come into conflict with the Pharisees, Jewish religious leaders, over many religious laws and customs.

35). This night is called the Kristallnacht or the broken glass. “... business and apartments belonging to the Jews may be destroyed but not looted,” (Heydrich, 35). All Nazi officers burned down all the of the Jews businesses, homes, and their synagogues. Kristallnacht affected many Jewish lives from some aspects of their family, finance, and religion. To start, Kristallnacht affected their families. “...only healthy male jews who are not too old, are to be detained,” (Herz, 39). This situation

Through some of the readings we did I figured it would be most interesting to visit a Synagogue, since I did not know much about their services. I went to the Cape Cod Synagogue where I attended a Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service on July 22nd. I definitely learned a lot about Judaism by attending this service and now have a new outlook on how Judaism actually works. Cape Cod Synagogue is a popular synagogue in Hyannis, MA. They offer a community for Jewish people to come and practice Judaism

attends Temple Beth Israel synagogue in Skokie, Illinois. He has been living in this area for around 20 years now but is originally from England. He is 60 years old and was kind enough to submit to an interview. What does Judaism mean to you? Starting off with the big question, I see. Judaism has always been a crucial part of who I am. My father was active in my synagogue when I was growing up. My family attended Friday night services regularly at the local synagogue. Judaism, for me, represents

Jewish preserved against not having a place of worship and the era of “portable Judaism” was procreated. Synagogues were created as a place for Jews to worship. A synagogue was anywhere with a minimum of ten men and a Torah in a room. Synagogues are still used as a place of worship but are now more accessible and are filled with things such as stain glass windows which honor God by making the synagogue look beautiful

Jews’ interactions with Greek and Roman empires shaped and defined Jewish culture and practice. These empires affected Jewish culture through cultural adaptation whose lasting impacts can still be seen today. One of the first power struggles in Jewish history was during the Hellenistic period. At that time, the Jewish practice of circumcision became a negative identifier that alienated the Jewish people from Greek culture. Because a huge part of Greek culture involved social activities in the gymnasium

There are assumptions that Jewish women do not take part in the service in the synagogue because they do not worship in the same building with the men, but Rich (2011) further explains that men and women had prayers separately for purposes of focus on the part of men.
