Jewdaism

A detailed Summary of Jewdaism

Jews have many elements that are different from an average American. From their religion to the food they eat. Exploring their culture and way of life has helped many people to better understand them.

The Jewish family life is very different than a Christian family life. People often wonder is Jewish people can remain childless. They cannot remain childless it is not part of the Jewish culture. The main reason they cannot remain childless is because it says in the Torah "Be fruitful and multiply." Jews are expected to look upon marriage as a step toward procreation. Another question that is commonly asked is what is the wife's role in the family? Does she just sit at home and be the housewife or can she work. In some parts in Israel they r suppose to stay home and be the housewife but in America they have a little different culture and they are allowed to work. But, the wife does have some roles in the house she is the one who teaches the children about the Jewish religion and makes them understand. The husband also has a job in that, he is there to set the role and let the children follow in his footsteps. Another lifestyle that Jews have is that they are not supposed to wear clothes of the opposit

From the foods they eat, to the church they attend Jews have an interesting lifestyle. Yet , they are still people in every aspect. With all I have learned I have come to appreciate the diversity of the world and acknowledge that there is so much more out there.

Another big Jewish holiday is Passover. Passover has a big dinner celebration called the Seder. The word Seder means order. The Seder is held with the whole family at the table and many special foods. There is no exact way to hold a Seder. While at the Seder the Haggadah Prayer book is used Haggadah. The word Haggadah means telling. There is a script of what the leader and participants should say and the order of eating and drinking during each part of the meal as it tells the story of the exodus from Egypt. There are 3000 different stories available. There is a special plate in front of the head of the household called the Seder Plate. The Seder Plate consists of three directive foods. Each food symbolizes an aspect of ordeal undergone by Israelites during enslavement. They use bitter herbs in these dishes. This is called the Seder.

Jewish people are very big on following their religion. They have one holy book that Is called the Torah. The reason they chose the Torah as the name is because Torah means direction given by god to man for guidance. The Torah can be interoperated in many different ways. Another big thing in their religion is how and where they pray. They pray inside a synagogue. They do not have a priest or minister like Christian churches do but they have a Rabbi. The Synagogue is very big. It can fit at least 1000 people inside. It also looks similar to a Christian churches. A synagogue is sometimes called a temple. They are also very large. This is how Jewish people pray.
