I had hoped to learn alot more about the Jewish faith. I had always been interested in what certain terminology meant such as shabbat, Shalom, and other terminology I had heard. I knew very little about this culture other than they do not eat pork. The only other thing I knew is that they celebrate Hanukkah instead of Christmas. What I did learn is that the Torah is their scripture, What the 10 commandments were:
Ten Commandments Worship no other gods, Do not worship idols, Do not misuse the name of the
Lord., Keep the Sabbath holy, Honor your father and mother, Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do
not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not covet. The Jewish faith focuses more on the life
on earth than the afterlife. What it states is that a life full of good and fulfills your duty to god receives a reward and one full of sin will receive punishment. What I have come to learn about the jewish faith is when caring for Jewish patients you must take into consideration such things as the Sabbath , dietary restrictions, and other special needs that they may have. I have seen many things on the Jewish culture on T.V and in movies and they do the religion no justice because it does not even touch the surface of what I have learned. I dont have much of an opinion, other than, like the other religions we have gone over, it is one that I knew little about and feel that I am much more knowledged.
knowledged?
