There are many different ways of practicing Judaism that are amongst us today, and many different types of
people that practice them. The aspects that I find to be significant and interesting in Judaism are Hanukkah, a
Bar Mitzvah, and The Kashrut. There are many more aspects of Judaism that amuse me, and there are many
that I might question if I thought about converting; however, these are the aspects that I believe to be some
of the most widely known traditions throughout the [Link] favorite part of Judaism that I would have no
problem indulging in would have to be a young man’s Bar Mitzvah. A Bar Mitzvah is a rite of passage for a 13
year old boy to become a man. Why is this something to look forward to? Because for a young boys Bar
Mitzvah the boy usually gets a large amount of money. Now this money doesn’t come in ones and fives;
however, it is known to come in six to seven figures all together. This may be frowned upon if you have an
older sister; however, she will get a little bit of reward once she becomes a “woman.”
Another part of Judaism that really fascinated me had to have been the Laws of Kashrut. Most commonly
known for not being able to mix dairy with meat, but there are other ways to make food Kosher as well. Such
as pork and shellfish, these are forbidden foods in the Judaism community. Along with those, all blood must
be drained before cooking and eating, for blood is sacred to God. It is amazing that even some even keep
separate fridges, sinks, tables, and utensils to avoid the mixing of their meat and dairy products. Even though
these ways of life may seem strict and harsh, not all Jews practice them. Most American Jews actually
perform The Kashrut in small ways. For example, they may buy pre-maid kosher food to substitute for going
full on Kosher. Most major brands even put marking on their products to let us know if the item is kosher or
not.

The heated conflict between Jews and Muslims has always been a gargantuan one and furthermore
since the dispute over Palestine. Being raised Muslim and knowing that these two religions were respectively
fathered by the sons of Abraham, there seems to be more hostility than agreeable peace. I chose to write on
Judaism for that reason, to understand more of what the similarities are between the cousin religions. Also, in
modern times, it is hard to directly apply the teachings of religion from what it originated as. That contributes
to sectarianism where people follow the teachings in a varied way. I have a small number of Jewish friends
who each practice in their own tradition and their knowledge on it varies too. I wanted to learn more about
the different types of Jews that evolved and how their race survived in history through their years of
wandering. The basic beliefs and characteristics of Judaism begin with patriarchic worship and that God,
at that time known as El, had promised Abraham he would father a great nation. The belief in Moses is that
he was delivered to the people as the Messiah that would free them from their salvation. God, now referred
to as YHWH (Yahweh) spoke to Moses while he was exiled and helped him take the Israeli's to their promised
land. Along with this, Jews lay very important emphasis on the Covenant at Mt. Sinai. Here, the Ten
Commandments were revealed that are basic to Jewish lifestyle that Jews look back to for inspiration and
guidance. The Jewish belief in the scriptures are in the 5 books of Moses, compiled as the Torah or Hebrew
bible and as well as the Talmud which comprises of the Mishnah and Gemara. They believe that the world
