Matter How Hard Elie Wiesel
1,239 words

humanitarian. His works told of the many harsh
realities of Jewish life. Due to the way he was
brought up in a strict family, where he was taught
the importance of family ties, all those lessons
helped him live through the concentration camps.
All the lessons and experiences throughout his
life contributed to his amazing writings. Elie
Wiesel was born in the town of Sighet in northern

When G-d first told Moshe to prepare the Jews to
receive the Torah, He commanded him, "This is what
you shall say to the House of Yaakov and speak to
the Children of Israel. " (Sheet 19: 3). Our Sages
explain that "the House of Yaakov" refers to
Jewish women, and "the Children of Israel" to the
men. G-d told Moshe to approach the women first.
This order implies a sense of priority: for the
Torah to be perpetuated among the Jewish people,
precedence must be given to Jewish women. Three

Slave Traders Middle East

extremely inhumane practice. Few institutions in
history have caused more suffering. A Slave is
defined as a human being who is the property of
another and subject to compulsory labor, beyond
the limits of the family (Encyclopedia of Religion
and Ethics p. 596). Slavery comes in different
forms. Women in some societies are called slaves
because they have alm...

John Paul Ii 19 Th Century
1,916 words
OVER THE past four decades, the attitude of the
Catholic Church toward Judaism and the Jews has
undergone a sea change. On the theological level,
the decisive event was the Second Vatican Council,
which in 1965 finally lifted the collective charge
of deicide against the Jewish people, reversing
the longstanding Augustinian view that the Jews
would eternally bear the mark of Cain. But of no
less importance has been the current Pope's
personal commitment to reconciliation. Since his
election in 19...

prophets whose words were recorded on a scroll. He
was not a prophet all his life and never
prophesied professionally. Amos earned his living
as a "herdsman and dresser of sycamore figs. "
(Amos 7: 14) Since he already had an occupation he
did not have to prophesy for money. He prophesied
because God had called him to do so. Amos was not
a poor sheep herdsman. The word herdsman, used to

the LORD. The evidence is substantial that the
Angel of the LORD and Yeshua the Messiah are one

The Jews In Spain During Golden Age
1,487 words
The Golden Age of Spain was golden for the Jews
not only because of their succession in science,
literature, diplomacy and military pursuits, but
also in their endeavors to advance. The history of
Spain, between the rule of the Romans and the
Catholic Monarchs was not among the highlights of
the Jews. Nonetheless, this was the life of the
Jews then, but the years before their departure
were prosperous, and they created a strong and

descendants are the Jewish people. According to

Life And Death Book Of Genesis

GILGAMESH Vs GENESIS: In our society, which is
overwhelmingly Judeo-Christian, students often
find it difficult to compare Bible stories with
tales from other cultures, because our own belief
system is wrapped up in the prior, and it is hard
for many of us to go against our traditional faith
to evaluate them objectively. But in a comparison
of the Biblical book of Genesis with the ancient
Sumerian text, Epic of Gilgamesh, many parallels
suggest that the same type of spiritual searching

Cursed Be Canaan Hebrew Slaves God

Slavery and the Bible The first mention of slavery
in the Bible is found in Noahs declaration, Cursed
be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his
brothers (Gen. 9: 25). He said this after waking
up from a naked, drunken stupor and learning that
his son Ham had mocked him. Although Ham was the
guilty party, Noahs statement was directed at Hams
youngest son Canaan. If he was involved with his
father in this act of disrespect, the statement
can be taken as the pronouncement of a curse,

around gifts and offerings that were presented
before Yahweh. In examining the book of Leviticus,
the sacrificial system of the Israelites can be

handed down by God through Moses that allowed the
people of Israel to cross over the gap between
their own weaknesses and corruption to the

the Sacred Tradition of the Church, the very
Tradition which Paul places alongside Scripture as
the rule of faith (2 Thes. 2: 15) and praises
