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.
Religion The Olmec of Mexico had multiple beliefs of religion. They built big stone temples that had walkaways through the middle of it and everyone in the village went to this temple to either trade or pray. The temple will be located near our stone heads and will be in the middle of our display, this part is important because the olmec were a very religious tribe. They made stone statues of god heads, they usually looked like cubes. These stone carvings were very important to their religion because they believed in multiple gods, these statues will be located in the middle of our display.
On October 21st, Rabbi Paysach Krohn spoke at Beth Jacob Congregation in Beverly Hills on the subject of Jewish unity. The talk was part of an on-going series entitled Modern Minds on Jewish Matters where various speakers discuss important issues facing the Jewish community. Rabbi Krohn is a popular speaker and writer, best known for his Maggid series, a collection of inspiring stories published by Artscroll. He is also a mohel and author of a book on circumcision.
The Olmec had a complex multi-faceted religion. The Olmec believed in a Rain God, Olmec Dragon, Maize Deity, Feathered Serpent, Fish or Shark Monster, and Banded-eye God. Their rituals were very shocking, they had to sacrifice humans and animals as offering to their god. Their practices were, Language Nuhuah. Olmec means ‘rubber people’.
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.
The Holocaust in Geramny involved the genocide of millions of Jewish citizens through the powerful hand of Hitler and his Nazi goverment. The Nazis and their perspectives are held responsible for the death of close to 6 million Jews two thirds of their population. The impact of the Holocaust on Jews runs deeper than just death, the jews were set aside as inhuman getting placed in ghettos that were nowhere near suited for living, also racist propaganda affected the Jewish people through that they were shown as monsters and enemies of the Germans, boycott from the nuremberg laws and Kristallnacht hurt and isolated the Jewish population. These are all significant reasons that paved the road toward the “final solution”. My first factor of how the jews were affected is their lives in the Ghettos.
“How could it be possible for them to be burning people and children and for the world to keep silent”. During the World War II, the Nazi party, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews in Europe, The Nazis and their collaborators murdered six million Jewish people, including one and a half million children. This terrible period in history is now referred to as the Holocaust. It is hard to care about the suffering of a group of people who are out cast, seen as the “other”espically when violence is threaten if one stands out. One significant reason why the world stayed silent while jews were exterminated is because leader of major countries feared war.
This piece of propaganda was originally formatted as a movie poster in 1940. There is no known author, but given that it is a movie poster, one can imply that the author works for the company that produced this movie. It’s original purpose was to advertise for “The Eternal Jew,” an anti-semitic movie, and to stimulate anti-Jewish feelings within the general public of Germany. The movie and by extension, the posters for the movie, portray Jewish people in a negative light and stereotypes them as being dirty and evil. By convincing the general public of Germany that Jews were dirty, sinister, and overall just horrible people, the Nazis gained support for their anti-semitic policies and their war against Jews.
Psychological Techniques: Effective or Ineffective? Throughout the course of the Holocaust, which lasted from 1933-1945, Nazis used a variety of different psychological techniques to lure, and ultimately exterminate about six million Jewish people. Some of these techniques include the foot-in-the-door technique, public executions, living conditions, emotional fear, among other techniques such as seemingly harmless activities like dancing with joyful music, false hope, and the separation of families. In addition to these psychological effects used on the actual prisoners, Nazis also used propaganda to further instil the anti-semitic ideology into the German citizens; this also led to the Holocaust.
1053/5000 Angels never tire of doing what they are told. As supernatural beings, the angelic form can not be seen, heard, touched, smelled and felt by human beings, in other words can not be reached by the five senses unless the angel appears in a certain form, like the likeness of man. There are exceptions to the story of Muhammad who had met with Gabriel by showing his original form, the appearance shown to Muhammad this twice, that is when receiving revelation and Isra and Mi'raj. Some prophets and apostles have been shown to manifest angels that turn into human beings, as in the story of Abraham, Lut, Maryam, Muhammad and others.
AIM 1: On October 29, 2015, I witnessed an elderly Jewish man come through checkpoint screening. After passing through, he went to retrieve his bag from the rollers, but had some trouble removing it. This was when Tracy walked around and assisted the gentleman by placing his bag on the floor for him. As the elderly man was walking toward the gate area, Tracy proceeded to walk with him a few feet while carrying on a pleasant conversation with the man regarding his destination. The passenger then went on to comment how polite and kind Tracy was after the screening process.
Most religions have different branches that form its religion tree. The congregations may not practice the religion in the same manner as their neighbors, but they believe in a common tree trunk. Judaism is not any different. Four main branches or sects of the Judaism tree from Jesus’ time played a vital role in his rise, demise, and rise again.
The 18th century ushered Europe from numerous religious wars and sprawling empires into rapid economic, political and ideological change. Most notably, this period is identified with the intellectual movement known as, The Enlightenment. This movement drew Catholics, Protestants, and Jews into social and intellectual interaction debating the roles of religion, philosophy, science, and human freedom. Historically, Jews were considered Denizens; however, both European and Jewish communities began to question how Jews would Jews integrate as equals in modern society.
Ellie Perlmutter The Jews of North Africa Dr. Jay 2 February 2023 Universality and its Effect on the Jewish Community During the Ottoman Tanzimat from roughly 1839-1896, the Jewish community experienced two distinct moments of universality. In one case, there was the establishment of Jewish schools by French Jewish elites and philanthropists in the Ottoman Empire. There was also the Damascus Affair which brought some of the same French Elites to fight for the accused Jews. In both of these cases, I argue that there was an element of universality.
Culture is the beliefs, values, and background unique to an individual person or group of people. Jewish culture is focused on the action and life of YHWH and his teachings. Judaism influences the lives of practitioners by increasing their faith through their internal and external values by learning about central figures, the creation story of the universe, sacred texts, key beliefs and teachings, numbers of believers and major sects,methods of prayer and worship, holy days and festivals, and holy places. The Jewish faith was first started over 3,500 thousand years ago.
