All about the Bchira vs Segula.

Why are the Jewish people an Am Segula?

During Grade 11 Rabbinics Class some interesting discoveries have been made about the true reason that the Jewish people are considered an Am Segula (treasured people).

    As I began to read The Gift of the Jews I automatically saw the authors perspective on all of humanity. He says within the first sentences of his book that the Jews started it all, and by “it” he means everything we value as a society, everything that nonetheless makes us human. As the book progresses he goes on to talk about the story of the bible, from Egypt to Babylon all while interconnecting everything to the Jews or their version of the bible. Thomas Cahill begins his book with discussing “The Temple in the Moonlight.” This story begins in the 5th millennia where our history began, with the first human.…

    Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are often perceived as discordant with one another, providing conflicting perspectives on theology and worship.

All three faiths view this story as significant, however there is a disjunction within the details of the narrative as well as what should be taken from the teachings. This paper will analyze these three faiths, by looking through the lens of Abraham’s story and will discuss how the narrative acts as both a unifying and an alienating force…
