  1. Friday, 10/11 Warm Up: What does religion mean to you? Explain.

  2. Objective: • Today I will be able to show the similarities and differences between Christianity and Judaism by completing a Venn diagram.

  3. Judaism • It is a monotheistic religion • Judaism is the oldest and smallest of the world's five great religions • Being a part of a Jewish community and living one's life according to Jewish law and traditions is very important. • The fundamental beliefs of Judaism are: • There is a single, all-powerful God, who created the universe and everything in it. • God has a special relationship with the Jewish people due to a covenant that God made with Moses on Mount Sinai, 3500 years ago(God’s chosen people).

  4. Rambam’s 13 Principles of Faith • G-d exists • G-d is one and unique • G-d is incorporeal • G-d is eternal • Prayer is to be directed to G-d alone and to no other • The words of the prophets are true • Moses’ prophecies are true, and Moses was the greatest of the prophets • The Written Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) and Oral Torah were given to Moses • There will be no other Torah • G-d knows the thoughts and deeds of men • G-d will reward the good and punish the wicked • The Messiah will come • The dead will be resurrected

  5. 613 Mitzvot (Commandments) • To burn meat of the holy sacrifice that has remained over (Lev. 7:17) • Not to castrate the male of any species; neither a man, nor a domestic or wild beast, nor a fowl (Lev. 22:24) • Not to sever completely the head of a fowl brought as a sin-offering (Lev. 5:8) • That the evil done to us by Amalek shall not be forgotten (Deut. 25:19) • That a woman after childbirth shall bring an offering when she is clean (Lev. 12:6) • Not to eat of the meal offering brought by the kohanim (Lev. 6:16). • Not to remove the entire beard, like the idolaters (Lev. 19:27) • Not to wear garments made of wool and linen mixed together (Deut. 22:11) • To recite grace after meals (Deut. 8:10) • To love G-d (Deut. 6:5) (CCA3). • Judaism 101: List of the 613 Mitzvot

  6. Way of Life • The Jewish place of worship is called a Synagogue • The religious leader of a Jewish community is called a Rabbi • Unlike leaders in many other faiths, a rabbi is not a priest; he is a teacher of the Torah. • The Jewish holy day, or Sabbath(Shabbat), starts at sunset on Friday and continues until sunset on Saturday • During the Sabbath, Jews do not work(drive, cook, etc.)
