Rosh Hashanah {Jewish New Year}
Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish holiday commonly referred to as the "Jewish New Year." It is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. The festival lasts for two days.
Rosh Hashanah is the first of the High Holidays or Yamim nor aim ("Days of Awe"), or Asseret Yemei Teshuva (The Ten Days of Repentance) which are days specifically set aside to focus on repentance that conclude with the holiday of Yom Kippur. The story of Rosh Hashanah is about Abraham and his belief in God when he was told to sacrifice his son.

Yom Kippur {Day of Atonement}
Yom Kippur is a Jewish festival. It is also known as the Day of Atonement. It lasts 25 hours. During this period, Jews ask God to forgive them for all their sins. People fast on this day, and they have to go to synagogue. Other things people are not allowed to do during Yom Kippur include washing, using perfumes or lotions, and having any kind of sexual intercourse.
Many wear white as a symbol of purity.
Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the month of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar. In Jewish tradition, God writes the fate of each person for the coming year into a "book" on Rosh Hashanah. God waits until Yom Kippur to "seal" the fate. During the Days of Awe, a Jew tries to amend his or her behaviour. They will also seek forgiveness for wrongs done against Go and wrongs done against other human beings. The evening and day of Yom Kippur are used for public and private confessions of guilt. At the end of Yom Kippur, a Jew considers themselves absolved by God.
The Yom Kippur prayer service includes several special parts. One of them is the number of prayer services. A regular day has three prayer services (Ma'ariv, the evening prayer; Shacharit, the Morning Prayer; and Mincha, the afternoon prayer). A Shabbat or Yom Tov has four prayer services (Ma'ariv; Shachari

YOM KIPPUR PICTURE

Yom Kippur rituals
Yom Kippur rituals are:

* Wearing White
Traditionally, many Jews wear white on Yom Kippur. Because white is a symbol of purity and Yom Kippur is a day when we undertake a spiritual cleansing, it is an appropriate color for the occasion. Others interpret white as representative of the white shroud in which Jews are buried, symbolizing our mortality and reminding us of the need for humility and repentance. * Shofar
Yom Kippur ends with a single, long blast of the shofar. The stirring sound of the shofar at the conclusion of the holiday has many different explanations. One is that the practice recalls the giving of the Torah at Sinai (when the shofar also was blown). Another is that the shofar signals the triumph of Israel over its sins for another year and heralds the possible coming of the messianic age. * In the Congregation
The heart of the Yom Kippur experience is congregational worship. It is a mitzvah to attend all the services on Yom Kippur, from Kol Nidre in the evening, throughout the next day, ending with N’ilah (concluding services) and the sounding of the shofar. A memorial service (Yizkor) is included on Yom Kippur, and Havdalah (a service of separation) is recited at the end of the day, following the sounding of the shofar. A joyous “break-the-fast” meal is served at the conclusion of services, either at the congregation or at home.
The Erev Yom Kippur service is called Kol Nidre, meaning “all vows,” and refers to the special liturgical formulation chanted by Jews solely on Yom Kippur. It is a legal formula for the annulment of vows, which dates back many centuries. The practice of reciting Kol Nidre probably began in about the 9th century C.E. Recited in a mix of Hebrew and Aramaic, the vernacular language of the time, Kol Nidre cancels and annuls all unintended vows made during the previous year. Traditionally, Kol Nidre is chanted three times, though only once in some Reform congregations. In many settings, the haunting melody is played on a violin, viola or cello. The threefold repetition most likely derives from the ancient practice of reciting all official proclamations three times. (Syme 25) During the chanting of Kol Nidre, the Torah scrolls are held by leaders of the community as the congregation stands together in silence.
Traditionally, in addition to Erev Yom Kippur, the entirety of the next day is spent in synagogue. The liturgy for the day of Yom Kippur includes powerful readings from the Torah, the core of Jewish teaching and practice, andYizkor, a memorial service to remember our loved ones who have died and, perhaps, to draw from their memories the inspiration to be the best of what we can yet be.
The Days of Awe are about more than confessing our sins. They are an opportunity to envision our lives and our communities if we each become a little more caring with each passing year. On Yom Kippur morning, we read from the Torah portion entitled Nitzavim, in which we learn that meaningful Jewish lives are not too hard for us and not too far away—if we are willing to choose a life of caring for each other. We also recite the Al Cheit, a prayer that recounts our sins: gossip, arrogance, exploiting the weak, and all the other missteps we took during the year just ended. The High Holidays are a time for t’shuvah, which is usually understood to mean repentance. But t’shuvah is much more than repentance. Its literal meaning is return and, indeed, t’shuvah is a return forward to something holy inside us that hasn’t yet reached fruition, a return to the goodness and the caring that could have been and still can be. T’shuvah is our search to find the potential for good and for holiness that has been within us all along but somehow became hidden in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. * At Home
Beginning at sundown prior to Kol Nidre, it is customary to render ourselves less comfortable through a variety of means, including fasting. Therefore, a family meal, known as se’udah mafseket (the concluding meal before the fast) traditionally is eaten before sundown, with the candle lighting happening at the end of the meal. This process is a way to mark the entree of Yom Kippur into the home and, with that blessing, the fast begins.
Tradition holds that acts of tzedakah are key components to our observance of Yom Kippur. In many synagogues, a fundraising appeal coincides with the High Holidays. Many Jews make tzedakah a part of their Shabbat ritual, depositing a few dollars in a tzedakah box prior to the beginning of Shabbat. This can also be done as part of the ritual prior to the meal eaten before Kol Nidre. To make this even more special, the Days of Awe can be a time to tally the funds set aside each week during the prior year and determine to which causes they will be donated.
By reciting prayers in a synagogue on Yom Kippur we atone for transgressions against God. For wrongs committed against other people, it has become customary to seek out friends and relatives whom we have wronged during the year and to ask their forgiveness before Yom Kippur begins. The holiday is a time when families should be at peace, and gives us a yearly opportunity to put aside past hurts and create a new beginning.
It also is customary on Yom Kippur to perpetuate the memory of loved ones. To do so, many Jews visit the cemetery the day before Yom Kippur and kindle 24-hour yahrzeit candles in memory loved ones who have died (learn more about yahrzeit candles and other Jewish mourning rituals). Yahrzeit candles are lit prior to the lighting of the holiday candles. During the Middle Ages, this custom was seen as a means of atonement for the dead. Today, however, it is a beautiful expression of tribute and remembrance.

Pesach {Passover}

Northern Hemisphere Passover takes place in spring as the Torah prescribes Passover or Pesach is an important Biblically-derived Jewish festival. The Jewish people celebrate Passover as a commemoration of their liberation over 3,300 years ago by God from slavery in ancient Egypt that ruled by the Pharaohs, and their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses. It commemorates the story of the Exodus as described in the Hebrew Bible especially in the Book of Exodus, in which the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.
Passover commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for either seven days (in Israel) or eight days (in the diaspora). In Judaism, a day commences at dusk and lasts until the following dusk, thus the first day of Passover only begins after dusk of the 14th of Nisan and ends at dusk of the 15th day of the month of Nisan. The rituals unique to the Passover celebrations commence with the Passover Seder when the 15th of Nisan has begun. In the it: "in the month of [the] spring.

PESACH PICTURE

PESACH RITUALS

* Pesach Preparation
Pesach festival involves lot of preparation and groundwork. Pesach preparation begins day after Purim, which occurs a month before Pesach festival. According to the commandants in the torah, Jews are forbidden to eat chametz. Chametz is made of the five grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, and spelt. Jewish women decorate their home by painting the wall and ceiling of the house. * Bedikat Chametz
This is an important ritual of searching for chametz. The house is cleaned, but you have to still search for chametz. So people put ten pieces of chametz around the house. The family members search for the pieces. Customarily this is done with a candle in the darkened room, using a feather or a spoon to brush the chametz. Children have a lot of fun doing this. This is a commandment, so a prayer is said before doing so. A complete silence is maintained until the last piece is found. Then another prayer is said to eliminate all chametz that one is unaware of. * Pesach Lamb
In Jewish tradition, the father of the house buys a customary lamb few weeks before Pesach festival. The Rabbi or butcher is brought to the house to slaughter the lamb outside of the house. It has been a custom to offer the butcher a piece of meat along with some money. * Pesach Seder Meal
The Seder meal is a ritual feast taken during Pesach fest and forms a very significant part of Pesach festival. The Seder meal is taken on first and second Pesach night. Family members and friends gather for festive supper meal to mark the beginning of the weeklong Pesach festival. They recite prayers over the wine and drink the first cup. A drop of wine is spilled during the reading of the ten plagues to symbolize the suffering and sadness related with the freedom of the Israelis. They dip karpas, or vegetables, in salt water and eat them. The salt water symbolizes the tears of the Israelis. Bitter herbs such as horseradish symbolize the bitterness of slavery, and vegetables are dipped in salt water to recall the tears of the slaves. A bone of lamb represents the sacrifices that were once performed at the historical Jewish Temple, while a boiled egg is eaten to symbolize Jewish faith under the heat of Egyptian oppression. * The Matzah
The middle of the matzah is broken into pieces and placed on the Seder table. Half of that matzah will become the Afikoman, the payment that will occur after the meal. The story of Passover is recited, and the youngest child is asked to chant the Four Questions. The retelling of the stories is followed with the second glass of wine. The matzah is blessed and it is tasted without any other flavors. Bitter herbs are taken with a bite of matzah. Charoset is added which is a mixture of apples, nuts, and wine--to create a Hillel sandwich. The holiday meal is served with deserts. The Afikoman is removed from the children present by giving them the gift and is shared with each guest present. After the Afikoman has been eaten, no other food should be consumed. The blessings are recited and everyone drinks the fourth cup of wine and concludes the Seder with traditional Passover songs.

The Pesach festival is being celebrated with much fun-fare, religious fervor and gaiety.

Shavuot {feast of the week}

Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text. The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer, and its date is directly linked to that of Passover. The Torah mandates the seven-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the second day of Passover, to be immediately followed by Shavuot. This counting of days and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the giving of the Torah. On Passover, the people of Israel were freed from their enslavement to Pharaoh; on Shavuot they were given the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God. The word Shavuot means weeks and the festival of Shavuot marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot.
Shavuot is one of the lesser-known Jewish holidays among secular Jews in the Jewish diaspora, while those in Israel are more aware of it. According to Jewish law, Shavuot is celebrated in Israel for one day and in the Diaspora (outside of Israel) for two days. Reform Judaism celebrates only one day, even in the Diaspora.

SHAVUOTH PICTURE

SHAVUOT RITUALS

* In the Congregation
Traditionally, the Book of Ruth, part of the section of the Bible known as Writings, is read during services on Shavuot. Ruth is a young Moabite woman who married an Israelite man. When her husband died, she followed her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to Israel and adopted the Jewish faith and people as her own. To feed herself and Naomi, she gleaned in the field of Boaz, a rich man. Boaz is taken with her, and eventually they marry. Among their descendents is the famed King David who built the first Temple.
The theme of Ruth’s conversion to Judaism is central to this story. In Ruth 1:16–17, she states: “Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following after you. For wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. Thus and more may God do to me if anything but death parts me from you.” Ruth is often considered to be the archetype of all who “choose” or convert to Judaism—accepting the Torah, just as Jews accepted the Torah at Mt. Sinai—and this passage traditionally has been understood as her conversion statement.
The ceremony of Confirmation—for high school students who have continued their studies and Jewish involvement beyond b’nei mitzvah—often is held on or near Shavuot. Just as the Jewish people accepted the Torah on Shavuot, so do confirmands reaffirm their commitment to the covenant and adult Jewish life.

* At Home
It is customary to decorate ones home with greens and fresh flowers on Shavuot as a reminder of the spring harvest and the ancient ritual of bringing the first fruits to the Temple. Many Jews prepare and eat dairy foods—often cheesecake or blintzes—on Shavuot as a reminder of the sweetness of Torah. Often families gather together on the holiday to enjoy a meal that features such dishes.
Shavuot: Preparing for the Holiday
The Bible teaches that the Israelites had three days to prepare to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai. To ready themselves for the momentous occasion, they were instructed to wash their clothes and to stay ritually pure. By recalling those three days, Jews today can use the three days before Shavuot to prepare personally, as a family, and as a community to re-experience this life-changing event.

SIMCHAT TORAH

Simchat Torah or better Simḥath “Rejoicing of/[with the] Torah" is a Jewish holiday that celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simhat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret ("Eighth Day of Assembly"), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkoth in the month of Tishrei (occurring in mid-September to early October on the Gregorian calendar).
The main celebration of Simhat Torah takes place in the synagogue during evening and morning services. In Orthodox as well as many Conservativecongregations, this is the only time of year on which the Torah scrolls are taken out of the ark and read at night. In the morning, the last parashah of Deuteronomy and the first parashah of Genesis are read in the synagogue. On each occasion, when the ark is opened, the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with the Torah scrolls in a joyous celebration that can last for several hours.

PURIM {DELIEVERANCE}
Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire where a plot had been formed to destroy them. The story is recorded in the Biblical Book of According to the Book of Esther, Haman, royal vizier to King Ahasuerus planned to kill all the Jews in the empire, but his plans were foiled by Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter Esther who had risen to become Queen of Persia.

Chanukah {festival of lights
Chanukah also known as the Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.
The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched menorah or chanukiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical menorah consists of eight branches with an additional raised branch. The extra light is called a shamash: and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the shamash is to have a light available for practical use, as using the Hanukkah lights themselves for purposes other than publicizing and meditating upon Hanukkah is forbidde

...No Tax Dollars for Religious Education Tax dollars are your money at work. Do you want your money to go to fund private religious schools? Tax dollars should not fund religious education because it is a violation of the separation of church and state clause of the first amendment to the constitution. Lately we have seen proposals for vouchers. These vouchers are public money given to low income family so they may send their kids to private schools. Most of the schools who use this program are religious. In the Cleveland voucher program we see there were 3,761 children are enrolled and 96 percent of those children are attending religious schools. Also 82 percent of the participating schools were seReligious Education- Original Writing In my Religious Education lessons I have studied many different religons and managed to broaden my knowledge on different practices and life styles of people all over the world.

Education

...“In many parts of the world today religious education is facing dramatic challenges.” (catholicireland.net, 2012). We live in a world where society is greatly affected by the ways and customs of different religions and cultures. The questioning of the relationship between religion and education in Ireland has been a sizeable debate recently. The increase in immigration etc. has resulted in new and diverse religions and cultures being introduced into Irish society. Naturally this means that change is imminent. When people first heard that I would be studying to become a religious education teacher their reactions were mostly what I had expected. The look on their face said it all for most people. I could tell they were thinking that religious education was not a real subject. That is was merely a subject where you could catch up on homework or sit back, relax and watch a movie. Of course my natural instinct was to defend the subject as I knew why I wanted to and was going to study to become a religious educator. However as I found myself trying to explain, it was challenging to try and find the words to define what the subject is and what it entails. It was difficult to do this without sounding like a “holy joe” as the expression goes. It made me realise that I needed to sit down and think in detail the meaning of religious education and also what I think the future of religious education in Ireland looks like? Will religious education still be a subject in Ireland in years to...

A Discussion on the Issue of Indoctrination as It Relates to the Philosophy of Education in General and Philosophy of Religious Education in Particular

...their minds about what they learned” (Simuchimba 2008: 79). Philosophy is the seeing/viewing or understanding of life with its different aspects in an individual’s way or sometimes there could be a group of people viewing things the same way or rather they agree with each other’s ideas. Philosophy of Education then is the way an individual values education, especially formal education. Msango et al in (Tembo 2000: 33) define Philosophy of Education as: A critical and systematic intellectual endeavour to see education as a whole and as an integral part of men’s culture .... any philosophy dealing with or applied to the process of public or private education and used as a basis for the general determination, interpretation and evaluation of educational problems having to do with objectives, practices and outcomes, child and social needs; materials of study and all other aspects of the field. “Philosophy of Religious Education deals with any problems and issues in the Philosophy of Education that affects Religious Education as a curriculum subject” (Simuchimba 2008: 2).

...Andrade 1 Carla Andrade Mr. Jones p.2 November 23, 2013 Pro Prayer In School Over the years, many Americans have discussed the issue about prayer in school. It has been heavily debated since the 1960s, when the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school was unconstitutional and was removed from all public schools. Many people believe that the elimination of prayer in school is beneficial to the students. They say that because religion is private and schools are public it is better that the two should not mix. “To introduce religion in our public schools, builds walls between children who may not have been aware of religious differences before.” (state/church) This, however, its contradicted by many factors that have been seen over the years. Prayers have the power of creating a spiritual atmosphere that helps students drive into values such as humility and discipline. Which is why many people believe that prayers should be allowed in school to develop the maturity of the students. “Banning prayers in school could mean depriving the school children of their freedom of religion.” (prons and cons of prayer in school) According to the First Amendment of the Constitution, all American people have freedom of Andrade 2 religion, press, and expression. Therefore, every children who attends school should have the right to pray at school. Those who are in favor of prayers in school, believe that prayer is an essential part of the school routine. For them, it seems quite...

...all students, regardless of religious creed, academic abilities or any other factor. Sending you child to a private school means enrollment is selective and demands are uniformly higher versus a public school where they will be exposed to a wider variety of people and abilities. In today's world, both are likely to incorporate students from various cultures and backgrounds. In most areas, your children will attend public school with other kids from the same area. However, a number of states are moving toward a policy where you can request a change if you desire. When parents choose a private school, they often do so based on their desire to give their children a specific peer group, whether that is based on discipline, cultural or religious background, or philosophical beliefs. This is perhaps understandable, in that establishing the right peer groups early on can have profound effects later in life. In most private schools, students are excluded or expelled if they do not adhere to the school's policies or standards. Because they do not use public funds (or in some areas, less funds), private schools are not as restricted in their program development or curricula. Private schools are not subject to budget limitations imposed by the state (although, they may in fact, have more restrictive limitations). This freedom allows private schools to develop their own curricula. As long as parents agree with the intellectual, philosophical or religious basis brought to the curricula...

R. E. Sba Guidelines

...CXC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION SBA GUIDELINES Statement Of Aims Your SBA should have at least 3 aims. The aims tell what you hope to find out, and are centered around the research topic. For example, if “worship” is your area of research, then all the aims must be centered around worship. Methodology This tells how, when and where you will collect information. Why have you selected a particular method of data collection (advantages)? How many questionnaires or interviews were administered? How many questions were on the questionnaires or in the interview schedule and when were they collected? Formulating Questionnaires: Look at the aims and form questions based on these aims and all the questions must relate to the topic chosen. Summary of Findings This section should provide the information to cover your aims. For example if the aims are to discover: (1) What is the most important Rastafarian symbol? (2) How are these symbols used in the Rastafarian Movement? (3) How has the use of the Rastafarian symbols impacted on Jamaica? You would therefore have to provide information under the following headings for the summary of findings: * Important Rastafarian symbol * Rastafarian symbols and their purposes * The impact of the Rastafarian symbols on the Jamaican society.

...Religious Education SBA Submitted in partial fulfillment of the CSEC Religious Education Examination Name of Candidate: Romareo Williams Registration #: 100013 School: Calabar High School Territory: Jamaica Teacher: Date: February 2013 STATEMENT OF AIMS The aim of this research is to investigate the origin and development of orthodox Judaism knowing the reason why they were formed and how they differ from the other sets of jews. Methodology Information will be collected via internet and booklets that was given by the teacher of the subject. Statement of findings Origin and development of the orthodox Jews The actual term “Orthodox” is derived from Christian theology and was, at first. A term of reproach hurled against the traditionalist by the early reformers at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to imply that those who fail to respond to the modernist challenge were high bound. However the term was used by the traditionalist themselves as a convenient short hand for the attitude of complete loyalty to the Jewish past, although some traditionalist prefer the term “Torah true” to describe their Jewish positions. In any event orthodoxy came to mean faithfulness to the practices of Judaism to the Halakhah (Jewish law) in its traditional formulation. Orthodox Judaism rejects the notion introduced by reform that, in the light of modern thought and life in western society, Judaism required to be reformed, Granted that the Torah is a divine...

...U N C I L REPORT ON CANDIDATES’ WORK IN THE CARIBBEAN SECONDARY EDUCATION CERTIFICATE® EXAMINATION MAY/JUNE 2013 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION GENERAL PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION Copyright © 2013 Caribbean Examinations Council St Michael, Barbados All rights reserved. -2GENERAL COMMENTS It is well worth remembering that the study of religion as an academic endeavour is intended to enable candidates to “develop an understanding of the meaning and purpose of life as advanced by different religious practices.” The academic enquiry into the phenomenon of religion must be differentiated from religious instruction, where the latter is intended to enable faith or proselytise individuals. Consequently, it must be made clear that persons engaging in the study of Religious Education should do so not merely for the promotion of their personal faith experience but should be willing to expand their knowledge and understanding of their own and different religions. Furthermore, it should be remembered that the study of religion is neither a pre-requisite nor requirement for specific training as a teacher or leader in the different religions presented in the syllabus. The examination for Religious Education for the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) is grounded in these understandings and the candidates sitting the examination should be aware of the focus of this academic discipline. The CSEC Religious Education examination consists of three components. Paper 01, the MultipleChoice...
