Mount Sinai

The buzz of indiscernible conversations and clamour of the emergency department (ED) faded into the distance as I felt the burning gaze of everyone in the room. The rhythmic beeping of the oxygen saturation monitor intensified as if taunting me, challenging me. I became cognizant of how tremulous and sweaty my hands were as I pleaded for the endotracheal tube’s cooperation. After what felt like an eternity, I heard the words I had been desperately waiting for, “breath sounds bilaterally.” While…

Founded in the 1700s by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. Form of Orthodox Judaism. The word Hasidism means “pious one” in Hebrew. Worldwide, over 1 million people identify as Hasidic Jews. Mainly found in the northeast United States and Israel. They live with other Hasidic Jews in a community called a “court.” Each court has a leader called a Rebbe, who is the final authority. Men wear beards, sidelocks, black hats and long coats. Speak Yiddish; Hebrew is too holy to be spoken. Women dress modestly…

Judaism is seen as a story, more like a narrative. It presumes that this story has everything that someone might expect in a good story, a story about slavery and freedom. Furthermore, a story about exile and return. The holy book of this religion is called the Hebrew Bible. ggInstead of the temptation of Adam and Even creating sin for all of humanity, in Judaism, it created the rhythm of wrongdoing and punishment and excel. The other one was the rhythm of covenant, breach and covenant. They…

sleep when he saw the Glory of God. Ezekiel too saw a similar vision twice (Ezekiel1: 26-28, 3:23). Both the times he fell on his face when he saw it. In the New Testament, the three disciples Peter, James and John saw the same kind of Glory on the Mount of Transfiguration and they were sore afraid and fell on their faces (Matthew 17: 1-2, Mark 9: 1-3, II Peter 1: 17). John the Apostle also saw a similar vision of His Glory (Rev. 1: 13-18) and fell down as though dead when he could not stand…

my opinion, a well-priced, tourist-friendly restaurant could serve both as a place for family gatherings for locals and a nice stop during the Central Park exploration trip for those visiting the City. 3.

The ten commandments were given to the Israelites by God on Mount Sinai. These ten commandments were given to show us how to live a better life and glorify God. They are the absolute truth and not dependant on social norms. God gives us all choices each and every day, and there is…

freedom . As Egypt’s resistance finally broke due to God, it established that God has absolute supremacy over history, and is the God of truth . As the Israelites moved from Egypt to their own sovereignty, laws where put in place at the meeting of Mount Sinai, where God announced his will for the aspects of Israelite life’s. The God who has the power over history refuses to only be seen as religion, but instead wants to claim rule over his creation . The inquisition of law now comes into play in…

Deuteronomy Journal 5A Almost forty years after the Israelites were sentenced to wander in the wilderness, Moses started telling the people what God had told him about them.
