Let this help you in your article search:
| Teaching | Description | Influence Today |
| Monotheism | belief in one God who is the source of standards of morality (right and wrong) | Judaism is the world’s oldest monotheistic religion. Through study of sacred texts, and through prayer, many Jews feel that God is close to them in their
daily lives. |
| Following God's Laws | laws like the Ten Commandments
instruct Jews on how to lead upright and honorable lives |
A larger set of laws and practices developed over
time, such as loving your neighbors, keeping a Sabbath, and the celebration of Passover. Jews observe these rules and practices in different ways. |
| Equality & Social Justice | belief that God considers all people equal, and that treating
people fairly and caring for less fortunate people are important |
Stories and sayings teach about treating everyone fairly. Caring for those less fortunate in society is a basic value in Judaism. |
| Importance of Study | studying the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and other writings | Jews value study and learning. Many Jews learn about Jewish history, law, and traditions through
reading and discussion. They also pass on their knowledge to other members of the faith. |
Due:
Assignment
In preparing for your final exam of the quarter/semester, you will need to refer to the directions found on page 88 in your gray workbook. It indicates that you need to find a newspaper or magazine article (and I have expanded the sources to include online articles and videos) that show a reflection of how ONE of the four teachings of Judaism remains very relevant today. In showing how it is relevant to today, the article/video needs to have been published in the last six months.
As a reminder, the four teachings can be found on pages 112-113 in your textbook. They are monotheism, following God's laws, importance of study, and "equality and social justice."
Please bring the article with you on your assigned date. If it is an online article or video, you can print the article OR send me the website URL and I will print it.
Here are a couple of reputable online sources that you might wish to explore:
https://www.newsela.com/ (Use your school account info to login.)
More may follow. Keep an eye on the homework section of the website for additional sources. Remember, Wikipedia is not permitted as a source for this task.
