Synagogue

For my virtual field trip, I chose to visit the Jerusalem great synagogue, as a Christian I have learnt a lot about Jerusalem as a special city also as the birth place of Jesus Christ, and I have always believed Jerusalem to be a holy place and a land of sacredness it is also believed to be the city of hope and belonging. The main reason why I chose this worship site is to explore more about important places attached to the Jews. Obviously this online site represents Judaism as a religion, it is…

JEWISH SECTS There are many different sects in Judaism. However, Jews do not refer to the differences between them in the same way using the word sect that other religions refer to the divisions among them. In Judaism, sects are referred to as movements. These movements were really reactions to changing times and cultures in which the Jews were living. All Jews, regardless of the movement in which they practice their faith, hold the same core beliefs. The major differences fall in the…

Beth Israel Synagogue. According to the article “Fear, Resolve and More Security at Charlottesville's Temple”, the temple has been under attack by white nationalists who are against the Jewish religion. “Writing for the website of the Union of Reform Judaism, Beth Israel President Alan Zimmerman said Nazi websites had called for the temple to be burned” (Finley). As a result of this threat there was an increase of anxiety and panic among the church. The people who belong to the synagogue went to…

Jairus came. He was a synagogue ruler. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet. He begged Jesus, “Please come. My little daughter is dying. Place your hands on her to heal her. Then she will live.” So Jesus went with him. - Mark 5:21-24a Jairus was the leader of the synagogue. Synagogues were buildings where the Jewish people met to study God’s word and worship God. (This is not the same as the holy Temple where sacrifices were made.) Jewish people still meet and worship in synagogues today. It is…

Ethnography To write my ethnography on a sacred book I choose Judaism. I went to the Temple of Israel – Reformed Jewish Synagogue. It is on South Fourth Street Wilmington, North Carolina. The sacred book they use is called the Torah. When walking into the Synagogue, it was very different then walking into my church from home, Salam United Methodist Church. My home church and the synagogue both have pews and stained glass windows and pretty much the same set up, but the way their sacred book is…

Synagogue is a Jewish church where people gather for worship. In comparison, in Conservative Judaism men and women sit together and women participate fully in the synagogue services, prayers and rituals (Israil and Judaism Studies). One interesting fact that I found out that Orthodox and Conservatives have a different word for church. Orthodox call it shul and Conservatives call it synagogue. There is also a slight difference that distinguishes…

The Beginning of Jewish Mistreatment Picture millions of tiny pieces of glass, buildings consumed by fire, and holy synagogues left to burn after Kristallnacht left Jews with nothing. Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, was one of the main events that occurred during the Holocaust. This awful occurrence began on November 9, 1938. Kristallnacht was a massive coordinated attack on Jews. Herschel Grynszpan, a seventeen year old, shot and killed a German Embassy member.…

The meaning of Messianic Judaism is explained by Rabbi David Chernoff as “a movement of Jewish people who believe that Yeshua (Jesus Hebrew) is the promised savior (Chernoff 1).” The messianic movement welcomes the gentile or Christians and Jews alike to join together for worship. The rituals of the Messianic Congregation are the same as Judaism, including the observing of the traditions and holidays of the Jewish people with one main difference in belief. The difference being, in Rabbinic…

theological, it is sociological. Verse four may shed some light on this issue. David Williams adds an enlightening perspective, “the converts are said to have joined Paul and Silas that implies that the missionaries had by now withdrawn from the synagogue and were conducting separate meetings.” The word προσεκληρώθησαν can be rendered in the middle or passive voice. Some commentators suggest that it is passive in the sense that” God allotted these people to Paul and Silas. This…
