Elie Wiesel was born September 30, 1928 in Sighet, Romania. He was born to Shlomo and Sarah Wiesel (“Elie Wiesel Biography”). Elie Wiesel attended Jewish school where he learned Hebrew, Talmud, and the Bible. He was influenced by his maternal Grandfather who was a Hasid(“Elie Wiesel”). He was quoted as saying, “One day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah”(Wiesel 13). He ended up spending a lot of time with Moshe, a caretaker in his synagogue(Elie…

Elie used to have hope and was curious about things, especially Jewish religious. After his first day in the concentration camp, he had changed deeply because of the flames and his life. At the first day in the concentration camp, he saw the ditches with flames, babies and adults are sending to there. It’s like a death camp and prison to him. He even want to suicide instead of staying in the camp. His soul seemed to be apart and engulfed by what he saw and experienced in the concentration camp.…

faith in God and his physical condition altered throughout his Holocaust experience. As a young man jostled into such horror, the Nazis made Elie question his belief in God. Early in the story, his belief in God was strong. He studied the Talmud in the day and went to the synagogue at night. He thought this way until he stumbled off the train right into hell, Auschwitz. At first God gave him hope, right up until…

Mitchell Laflin World Religions Saturday, April 25, 2015 Final paper over Judaism When we were given the option of choosing the religion we wanted to research at the beginning of the year I picked Judaism because I figured it was easy and wouldn’t be too interesting or complicated. But I was completely wrong. I learned so much about the faith than I ever thought I would. I expected to go into this not really caring or letting my mind open up but in the end, I really let the realization that…

Septuagint Often referred to as seventy or “LXX”, being its Roman Numeral, the Septuagint was first translated from the Old Testament in approximately 300 B.C.. It was translated at this time as the Old Testament was written in hebrew and Ptolemy Philadelphus, the reigning emperor of Alexandria Egypt, wanted to include the Greek version in the Library of Alexandria. To do this Ptolemy Philadelphus ordered seventy two scholars, made up of six elders from twelve tribes of Israel, to translate…

Lilitu, which was the male deity similar to her in the Mesopotamian culture. (Freedman 324). There are two Jewish sources that can show the activities in which Lilith is participating in. The first set would be the four references to Lilith in the Talmud, in which she is presented with having wings, long hair, and appearing demonic. This is when she is said to appear with sexuality, meaning that when a man was to sleep by himself, it is said that Lilith could fly in and seize him, and procreate…

Hence, extra-marital sex is “hateful” and should not be done to ones “fellow”. The book of Genesis calls adultery “the great sin” (20:9) and the Talmud labels it ha’averah (the sin par excellence). These titles instil the importance of remaining monogamous and influences the way in the which followers of Judaism live their daily lives as they begin to refrain from adulterous thoughts and actions…

The prophetic book takes its name after the prophet who received the vision. The name Obadiah means “servant of the LORD”. It is the smallest book in the Old Testament. There is no information about the author. Sanhedrin 39b (Talmud) said Obadiah was Ahab’s servant. Pseudo-Epiphanius said he was King Ahaziah’s military official (thus the book must have been written in 842 B.C.). John Calvin said he could have been an eyewitness to the destruction of Jerusalem which suggests that the book must…
