Tribes of Israel

A diplomat who served in Iran before the war, Wassmuss was one of the few Europeans who knew the local tribes and culture well enough to “go native”. Moving freely through the tribes around Abadan Wassmuss proclaimed the good news that Kaiser Wilhelm had been converted to Islam, and the First World War was really a global jihad against the infidel British.

The cuisine, historical significance of the area, and it’s religions are some of the most distinct differences the region has culturally. One sizable distinction for people from Palestine/Israel is their diet compared to surrounding areas.

In southwest Madagascar, native tribes hold an interesting ceremony known as Famadihana in remembrance of their deceased ancestors.

Famadihana is celebrated by those who reside in the Malagasy tribes throughout the island of Madagascar (Holloway). Although it first started off as a religious ceremony devoted to

heroic act. Driscoll (2012) describes Samson as the last and most famous of the Judges who presided over Israel. He was born during the forty years of Israel's delivery to the Philistines as a result of abandoning God. His first special trait was that he was somewhat of a miracle, being born to a barren woman in the tribe of Dan. An angel appeared to let her know that he would deliver Israel from the Philistines.

John Milton's Paradise Lost John Milton’s Paradise Lost is filled with fantastical tales from the depths of Hell, extravagant descriptions of the fallen angels, and a curious recitation of the council of demons in their new palace. How did Milton dream up such vivid depictions of such horrible demons as the ones we see in Book I?

The Will would normally speak of following Jewish laws and Jewish ideals. The Ten Commandments are sometimes stressed on their own since they are important for Jewish law. Jewish Ethical Wills preach to protect the Torah, and keep the land of Israel safe. Also a Jewish Ethical Will usually says one should be a responsible Jewish person who is charitable, respectful, hardworking, and continues to study Judaism. 7 Ethical Wills are such an important piece in Judaism that they appear in the Talmud

Exodus focuses on the Covenant Code in the Mosaic Law. The second book of Torah consists of various counts of stories of God’s prophet Moses leading God’s people (Jews) out of Egypt and to their promised land of Israel. In order to follow God’s instructions, Moses led the Jews to Israel. “Traditionally, the oral law of Judaism is believed to have been given to Moses by God at Mount Sinai and orally transmitted for 1500 years” (Fieser and Powers 278). Moses helps the Israelites clarify the way in

they had such rich soil. Since there were so many Phoenician civilizations they spread across the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Their territory was called Phoenicia, however this area is now the modern day countries of Syria, Lebanon and Northern Israel. The Phoenicians played a very important role in our history. They helped create many useful tools and methods that we are

Born in Israel from Argentine parents and now based in New York, alto saxophonist and composer Uri Gurvich demonstrates a high level of maturity on his new outing, Kinship, the third, and probably the most accomplished, of his career. Gurvich’s previous works, The Storyteller and BabEl, were released on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records, and with them, he proved to possess the remarkable ability to merge Israeli traditional folk elements with the hard-hitting post-bop current. Kinship, a very strong and
