Interior of the synagogue at Dura-Europos, Syria- The Jewish house of worship has an expansive sequence of mural paintings. The main room contains a niche for the Torah in the middle of one long wall. Mural paintings including episodes from the Torah cover the rest of the wall surfaces. For the most part, the murals lack action. Stories are told through gestures, but the figures seem to lack emotion, volume, and shape.
In the article “Religions: The Basics” by Malory Nye talks about female writers, inequality and the distinction between males and females. In the article it mentioned how the term Androcentricism assumes that the male’s perspective and experiences are the most vital and key point of reference. I agree with Mary Daly that the concept of belief in a male deity leads to profound sexual inequalities. The reason I agree with Mary Daly is due to the fact there is a lot of gender differences and that women are viewed as inferior, while men are more superior. It is surprising that in western culture, they can’t go a day without woman-male distinction.

During a time period that was present around 400 years ago, many colonists sought religious and economic freedom and decided to break away from the British government to form an independent nation. This area they inhabited is now called, the United States. In this time of great change, the colonists had to completely formulate a new government. Since one of the major motives for breaking off of Britain was for freedom of religion, it ended up becoming a good base for the building up of a new government. Religion gave many advantages to the growth of government through unifying the people, establishing power, and constructing order.
Throughout the Nazi regime in Europe from 1943 to 1945, many Jews opposed Hitler’s policies by engaging in acts of physical, mental and spiritual resistance. Many non-Jews also stood by the Jews in opposing Hitler’s government and his policies. These people helped many Jews escape ghettos and concentration camps. However, there were also many Jewish people who did not resist the Nazi’s and fell victim to their rule. Many non-Jews did not help the Jewish people and simply followed the regime by ignoring the atrocities that the Jews faced throughout the Nazi regime.
Human beings needs to connect with other people in order to function naturally in the society. Communities can be found in different backgrounds, cultures and countries around the world. Institution, families, social clubs and group that shares common interest are part of a community. Communities have resources to support each other and provide essentials for individuals to be successful in the society. Having stronger sense of community benefits the contemporary society; community provides support from others, guidance and less isolation to the individuals in the society.
Ordinarily, community is a basis of Judaism, and the Jewish religion educates people on how to work together

They are working separately together, and that’s bound for failure. A community must work together and listen to one another to even consider themselves a community. Otherwise, they’re just a group of people
Embracing community is very similar to embracing equality as your community may not be considered equal but in developing knowledge of your community you will develop equality when thinking of your community. The Declaration of Independence declared equality, though the constitution did not and it was not embraced into the constitution until it was added in the fourteenth amendment (Smith). The early years of the United State government had little experience with controlling equality in small scale communities. For example, in To Kill a Mockingbird, the Maycomb community did not embrace those of color into many public settings and they did not receive equal rights in the community. We are called now to embrace everyone in our communities and treat them equally while also including them in what we do as a community.
