Judaica

He has been called a prophet, a man of God and to many people all over the world the Son of God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. If you know the story of Jesus then you know he was born to Mary and Joseph of Nazareth in the town of Bethlehem. With his father being a carpenter by trade, Jesus naturally learned the trade of carpentry. At a young age it is said he went to the local Jewish Temple and preached with words of wisdom that awed the holy men of the synagogue. It was on his thirtieth birthday he ventured out to preach the word of God. He spent three years traveling, spreading the word of God and performing miracles. His message was peace, His word was love. His popularity grew and so did the...

When comes to the traditional American wedding, there is not the rigid rules to follow. Frequently, American wedding ceremonies may be religious which are held in the religious setting, such as a church, synagogue or mosque. Although it is not mandatory, the most of traditional American do take place in a religious setting. Marriages are not "arranged" in America. They are not arranged to strengthen family business or social status. So the wedding ceremony usually is planned by the newlyweds themselves. Family and friends are formally invited. There are bride's maids, a best man, flower girls, and a ring bearer readied for the approaching moment. The wedding ceremony is often conducted by a...

Cheltenham - Gloucestershire is famous for being a spa town and home to the wealthy and respectable. It is situated at the edge of what are known as the Cotswolds and there is also a river called Chelt which flows through this town and which is also often plagued by floods. For those who know a little bit about horse racing, Cheltenham must be a familiar name because this is where the British indulge in steeplechase horse racing. In particular, it is home to the Gold Cup which is a major event that takes place in this town every year in the month of March. Cheltenham - Gloucestershire is also a cultural center, but is predominantly a market town that got its charter way back in the thirteenth...

Celebrate Rosh Hashanah this year by sending out free e-cards to show your appreciation. Friends and family are often the most likely recipients of free e-cards, but you could also send one to a work colleague. Free e-cards are gradually becoming the free, easy way of sending e-cards. Quickly, since the internet boom they are taking over the card market. There are a few main reasons for this, the main one obviously been that they are totally free. As well as that, free e-cards are obviously environmentally friendly as no paper is ever wasted, this is because free e-cards are made on computers. Not only that, free e-cards can be sent from just about anywhere in the world, to almost anywhere in the...

Hamat Gader is located near the Sea of Galilee in Israel, near the Yarmouk River. It features several mineral springs with temperatures of up to 50 C. The name means literally the Hot Springs of Gadara referring to a site known today as Umm Qais in Jordan just 4 Km away on the other side of the border. It is actually located in the three country border between Syria, Jordan and Israel. Brief History The original baths were constructed by the Romans in the second century. You may see reminders of the constructions by the Byzantines and then by the Arabs. In the Roman times it was well known as a recreational site. The springs were also used for healing purposes. On the third century a Roman Theater...

Do you know enough about Kippah? Kippah is a Hebrew word which means a skull cap. This skull cap is often used by jewish men or boys. It is also used by women in some conservative societies. Kippah is used according to jewish religious law. According to law a jewish man should cover his head while remembering God's name, praying or reciting Torah in a synagogue. There are many more explanations for wearing kippah. According to kabbalistic tradition, a man should cover his head like God is covering us with his mighty palm. Wearing of kippah also signifies that God rules above all mankind. Kippah is designed in a special way. However one can find several types of kippahs. Jews which are more religious...

A poet who writes perhaps knows too much A scholar and philosopher, and perhaps a crook! As if life and its normal journey are not enough Could never be enough; not even with all its Travels, towers, troubles, and tenderness,nor with all its adventures, its vast universe, and its ghosts: Nor with all its wars, and higher learning universities, Nor with all its lovers, and friends, and so many Of life's confrontations; used and unused furniture He brought to his home, along with the wives And children he had, with all their Christmas' and And toys, troubles and pains and insane days- He marches to the tunes, of his country's song But he never sings along; he reads and writes From early evening to the...

Just speak your mind...this is the message that is sent by our culture all the time (especially through U.S. reality shows). It has almost been seen as somewhat of a virtue to just say whatever you think or want-no matter the situation or the fallout. However, is this really a freedom that we should pursue or is it a path that leads to a lack of self control and personal problems? What if we say determines more than anything the quality of our relationships and emotional and mental health? With our words we can help, encourage, and care for people; with our words we can also destroy others, our own reputations, and the general environment around us. Let's take a few examples. At your school, job...

Before you consider your next job change or even career change, it's crucial that you look at the kind of lifestyle you want today and in the future. As you determine the course of your career path, you'll discover that other facets of your life will enter into the picture as well--where you life, how you spend your money, how you spend your free time. This career-planning time is also time to think about life planning. When I meet with my clients for the first time, before I ask them what they want to do, I ask them what kind of life they want to live. Even in carefree Hawaii, there's an expression - Pau Hana--meaning "after work," Until the last decade, most of our lives were built around work and...

Taking a page from the entrepreneur's notebook, non-profit organizations are now utilizing digital signage, touch-screen kiosks and interactive donor walls to promote capital campaigns, enhance donor recognition, deliver important fundraising messages, attract new donors and bolster their bottom line. The convergence of interactive technology with multimedia content has created a wealth of new fundraising possibilities. For-profit corporations and leading retail outlets embraced the superior attraction capabilities of multimedia displays to increase profits and cut costs long ago. Now that the technology has matured, progressive non-profit organizations are implementing similar systems in an effort...

Choosing a Marriage Celebrant The wedding ceremony is the most solemn and heart-felt part of virtually any wedding. The officiant who presides over your marriage ceremony is a crucial part of it, and really should be chosen with care. These are generally a number of tips on picking a marriage ceremony officiant. Of course, if the happy couple have gone to a certain church for years, it makes sense to use their priest, rabbi, or minister as their officiant. This is especially valid if their happy couple has got some type of connection with their minister; it is usually noticeable throughout a wedding ceremony if your officiant knows the happy couple personally, plus it contributes extremely to the...

Any man or woman who is an active member of the military may have a military wedding. A military ceremony is conducted according to the religion and traditions of the couple but with a few twists. A military wedding is different from a civilian wedding in the following ways. ATTIRE Formal attire must be worn. Any man in the military must wear his full-dress uniform including white gloves and sword/saber. Men in uniform do not wear boutonnieres. If the bride is a military member, she may wear her uniform if she so chooses. Since this is a formal wedding the bride should wear an appropriate gown - no low-cut necklines or backs, and nothing strapless. A long elegant gown with a flowing train would be...

The Klezmer music is the traditional Jewish music originated in Eastern Europe in the last centuries. In fact, the term Klezmer is a yiddish word which is a contraction of two Hebrew words, "kli" and "zemer". The meaning of kli is instrument, tool, while zemer definition is air, melody, song. So the Klezmer is the instrument of the song, the vessel of the voice. At the origin, the word klezmer was employed to designate the itinerant Jewish musicians (the plural is "klezmorim") who were playing at weddings and celebrations, traveling from village to village. The Jewish folk music had many cultural and geographical influences. Although being essentially an Ashkenazi music the impact of the Oriental...

So there I was, walking into the first Jewish synagogue that I have ever walked into. They called themselves Hebrew messianic Jews who kept the commandments of God. As I was walking in, I heard the sound of heavy drums beating and passionate singing compelling me to move on in further. As the singing commenced, and the drums were continually pounded I noticed a man get up from his seat and head over to where a very unique looking instrument was mounted. The man then lifted the instrument off of the mount and then began to blow into it. The sound that came out of the instrument, was one that I had never heard before but I was able to identity it. It sounded like a trumpet with a hollow sound, but it...

Although the basics of wedding invitations haven't changed much over the years, family situations have become more complex than ever. Ceremony and reception locations have also become more varied as couples plan celebrations that truly reflect their personalities. In an effort to personalize your invitation, you may be tempted to add a favorite Scripture or poem, but adhering to the more traditional wording is still the best plan. The invitation is indeed meant to do what its name implies: ask guests to share your special day. If you want to use other wording or a sentimental verse, save it to include in your wedding program. When it comes to the actual wording, etiquette has softened a bit with...

Have you lost someone so special you feel you can never be happy again? I ask this question because sooner or later we will all be hit with a loss we think we cannot bear. No one escapes it. Consider the recent death of Senator Ted Kennedy. During his life he looked grief and personal tragedy in the eye many times. The Senator, as other giants before him, will be missed. His family, as all families, will have to wrap themselves around their monumental loss, cling together, and go forward. They and we know that no one can ever take the place of the beloved deceased person. As humans, we wonder if we can ever overcome the pain and loss we feel. We doubt we can go on and find hope again. But we can...

Would I be overstating it if I went out on a limb and made the bold assertion that we have lost our moral compass? And as a part of that observation say that we have been holding up the wrong people as our heroes and role models for far too long! And it only seems to be getting worse. As a population in North America we are losing our ability to discern the difference between right and wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust and be willing to take a stand and declare ourselves. Traditional morality is our sense of what is right or wrong, fair or unfair, just or unjust. To go along with this it is also my contention that a hero or role model must be a disciplined person, meaning that he/she should be...

Many principles used in businesses today can be traced to the Bible. Albeit subtle, often paraphrased, and even quoted in part, biblical principles play a valuable role both in society and in today's workplace. Without question, there are legal and ethical grounds for not mixing work and religion. While some believe that "religion" in any form has no place in a briefcase let alone the boardroom, others achieve success by incorporating biblical principles personally and professionally. Founder and CEO of World Wide Technology, David Steward, is a living testament to success found in applying biblical principles in the workplace. Both company and owner have amassed an extensive list of accolades over...

Loneliness is feeling empty inside. It is a feeling of separateness and isolation. It is a feeling of being out of touch with other human beings. People experience loneliness when they do not have someone to depend on, a close family, a group of friends, or relationships with people at work or school. A person can be lonely even when surrounded by other people. We can feel lonely when there is a lack of intimacy in our relationships.   Loneliness occurs at all stages of our life. We may have felt it during our teenage years, as a new parent, when the children left home. Perhaps we never found Mr. or Ms. Right, or maybe we experienced the pain of divorce or the death of a spouse. Loneliness can be...

The Bar Mitzvah Party is held as part of the celebration of a young Jewish boy turning thirteen and symbolically becoming a man. In past times he literally took on the burdens and responsibilities of manhood, so this was a very important and also somewhat nerve-wracking time. Bar Mitzvah means 'son of commandment.' In Judaism every day life is closely related to religious practices and as part of becoming an adult the boy is also accepting his religious and moral responsibilities. As a man he will take responsibilities for his actions and try to lead his life by the guiding principles of the Ten Commandments. These are a set of rules used in Judeo-Christian religions to help lead an appropriate...

Salisbury was initially organized in the historic 11th century, as Viking raids on Wilton driven individuals to where the town is now. Officially Salisbury was founded in 1217 - a couple of years later the town held an annual fair and had it's own marketplace. It was presented a charter (an official settlement status where the people were presented certain rights) a few years later on (in 1227). Salisbury's gem in the crown is the impressive Cathedral, established between 1220 and 1258. The Cathedral has continued for the most part undisturbed throughout the centuries, with the exception of the addition of the soaring steeple - which at 404 feet is the tallest in England. The spire was added to the...

Choosing a ceremony officiant for your big day can be a daunting task. If you are getting married in your church or synagogue, the decision is simple.--you take what they give you, usually. But maybe you don't belong to a church yet want a heartfelt ceremony that expresses your personal beliefs. If you are like many brides- and grooms-to-be, you are looking for creative alternatives to the traditional cookie-cutter ceremony. You deserve to have your ceremony be like no other and to develop a warm and personal relationship with your officiant. With the popularity of out-of-church-weddings, many people are hanging out their shingles calling themselves "wedding officiants". Beware, for you don't want...

When you are both standing at the altar with stars in your eyes and love in your hearts, it is difficult to think how differently things can be in a short time in the future. For some, that short time is measured in months or even weeks, and for others that time frame is measured in years. It is amazing to note the number of divorces that occur after a couple has been married for 25, 30, or even more years in today's society. But in truth, except in extreme cases, chances are high that at least one of you, if not both of you, really do not want a divorce. A divorce has a permanence about it that neither one of you want to face. There will be ramifications from family members, friends, your...

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). "If you cry, it will get better" is the meaning of this second Beatitude, says Brittany, age 6. Brittany, if you cry for the right reasons, you will indeed get better because God will comfort you. "This verse means to pray for those who are sad," says Todd, 9. "Try to help them take their mind off it. Invite them over to spend the night or to a water park." I don't know if God comforts by sending the mournful to water parks, but now that you mention it, I've never seen anyone mourning while slipping and sliding around curves, screaming at the top of his or her lungs. "I mourned when my puppy ran away," says Taylor, 11. "I...

Bar Mitzvah is both a joyous and solemn religious and lifetime milestone in the life of a Jewish male. According to Jewish law, the male goes from being a boy of twelve to a man of 13. With the Bar Mitzvah, according to Jewish law, a boy becomes an adult. Bar Mitzvah actually translates to "son of the commandment" and at this age, can take part in religious ceremonies, observe the commandments, and to count in a minyan, to form binding contracts, testify before courts, and marry. This is a solemn, religious ceremonial rite of passage of the greatest importance within the Jewish Faith. The bar mitzvah rite of passage is steeped in traditions literally going back hundreds of years. They are...

Welcome to the third part of my exposé of things theological and/or Biblically intellectual, and I will continue this series of articles by answering the last of my original questions from part one, taking it up, as before, where I left off. Question: was Peter, the fisherman, a theologian? OK, it's a reasonable question, isn't it, or is it, 'cos there's that bogey word - reasonable? Actually, it isn't a reasonable question at all, it's a stupid question - a foolish question and probably the sort of foolish question a theologian would ask other theologians and then mull and reason over it, meaninglessly for hours, when the plain and simple answer is no, Peter was not a theologian. Peter was a...

It's that time. You've gotten engaged and you've set a date. Next you have to find a venue to celebrate your wedding with a reception, then the dirty work begins. Now you have to choose your bridal party. This is especially difficult when there's lots of friends and family. The guys aren't an issue. They could care less. But this isn't the case with the girls. They have unspoken contests about how many bridal parties they've been in and mostly, how many times they've been the maid of honor. But you have a sister. So, is it your sister or your best friend? This is a dilemma that so many brides face every day. And I've seen relationships broken with friends and family situations strained...

In today's world, couples are taking charge of their wedding ceremony. Religiosity is shrinking and many couples are looking outside of the church or synagogue to find a wedding officiant. Couples are saving money while making their ceremony more meaningful by asking a family member or good friend to officiate their wedding ceremony. I'm not here to decide if that is right or wrong. However, when it comes to who can solemnize a marriage, it is important to know the facts. If you are thinking about performing a wedding, remember that you are facilitating a legal contract between the couple. It is your responsibility to make sure that you adhere to the requirements and laws of the state in which you...

"body"> "Impossible." "It's never going to happen." "It will be the end of the Middle East as we know it." These are comments from people whenever someone mentions that Israel will build the Third Temple on the temple mount in Jerusalem. I have to say that I would totally agree with them due to the political climate in the world. However, there's this little book called the Bible that explains not only that the Jews will build a Third Temple, but gives instruction to the two witnesses as to where exactly to build it on the temple mount. Revelation 11:2-3 states, "But leave out of your measuring the court outside the sanctuary of God; omit that, for it is given over to the Gentiles (the nations...

Building a Social Circle from Scratch Ever heard the saying "you've got to have money to make money"? Of course you have; everyone has. Well, there is a lesser known sister saying to this one that goes something like "you've got to have friends to make friends". And while I don't necessarily agree with the former (although it can certainly help), I whole-heartedly believe the latter, or at least that it makes the process a lot easier. The truth is that when you already have a circle of friends, it is much easier to invite others to join or meet "new members" through these established friendships. You are out and involved in doing things socially, and that is where the majority of other folks are too...

When you here the word free, it sets off several important triggers that motivate you to take action. You do not have to invest anything, so there is no financial risk. You may learn something new about a subject, product or business that may benefit you and your family right now or in the future. And best of all you feel like you are beating the system where you are a little smarter than the guy who has to pay for the thing you are getting for free. Sharp marketers always include the word free, somewhere in their offer. It helps build goodwill and trust. So how do you write free coupon offers that will benefit you and your goal for publishing the offer. The first thing you must do is create the...

I have been thinking a lot about the Christmas story this year, contemplating all of its wonder and the sheer magnitude of such a profound event. I usually focus on all the usual suspects, like Jesus, of course, and Mary and Joseph, and even the Magi who have so much to offer through the story because, after all, they are "wise men." But then I started thinking, why shepherds? What can shepherds teach us? Why would God include them in the story at all? The story of the shepherds in Luke chapter 2 is brief: 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they...

Having a birthday party or other special celebration for your child and sweating it out as to where you should hold the party? Your house or apartment can be one of the best places to throw a birthday bash, and of course it doesn't cost anything. If the party is in your apartment you can just push aside a table in the living room to create more space for the children especially if you have outside entertainment coming in. If you live in a house you can also have the party in your basement or in your backyard (weather permitting). If your residence is too small or out of the way or you just don't want the hassle of extensive cleanup after the guests have gone home there are many other options...

For twenty-five years the Queen Elizabeth 2 has been circling the globe, nobody knows their way around the world like she does. 2007 is her Silver Jubilee and she'll be visiting more of the world than ever on her Silver Jubilee World Cruise; 41 great cities and 25 nations on five continents in 108 days. She's became the international symbol of luxury travel and at virtually every stop along her way, she'll be welcomed with all the fanfare of a celebrity.

One leaving Los Angeles and ending in New York City in 94 days; the...

Long before there were any people, before there was even a world or sun or stars, there was God. God has always been and God will always be. There has never been a time when God was not living, and there will never be a time when He is not living. We say God is eternal. This means that He never had a beginning, and He will never have an ending. Jesus is God's Son. He is eternal also. In the Bible when you see the "Word" it is another name for Jesus, it starts with a capital because it is a proper name. God caused the Bible to be written to tell us of His love, so the Bible is called the word of God. Jesus came to show us what God is like so He is called the Word. When we call Jesus the Word, we mean...

This is the time of year as we enjoy the Christmas season, we celebrate the birth of our Savior, but we mustn't loose sight of the reason for His coming. He came to restore mankind to the Father. He came to destroy the works of the devil. He came to give life, and give it more abundantly. He came to give us eternal life. He came to forgive us our debts. 1Jn:3:8, Jn:10:10. With this in mind lets look at what Jesus said about Himself, as He read from the Prophet Isaiah. Luke 4:16: "So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He...

There is a singular rule and metaphysical precept concerning the relationship between money and spiritual counsel. The rule is clear, and repeated in every holy work of very religion. Money must not change hands between esoteric teacher and student. This is why all churches, Catholic, Protestant, or Synagogue, do not permit their priests, ministers, or rabbis to accept money from the parishioners. These "teachers" are supported, their needs supplied by the church, which is, itself, supported by voluntary and anonymous donations from the general public. The money rule is not the only road map you will need on your journey down the Yellow Brick Road of metaphysics to the enchanting Oz of enlightenment...

They are the people who just have that 'knaack' of drawing people in some way. What is it that makes a leader the way of a leader? Some people are just born lucky with this quality. But what about the other 90% of us? Is leadership learnable even if you're not born with it? Absolutely! I can tell you I wasn't a born leader. I've gone to Barnes and Noble I don't know how many times and bought the self improvement and how-to books on leadership and success. I've read them cover to cover, always digging for the secret that makes one a leader. And they all say the same thing: it's in the way you think. If you think positively, you will be positive. If you think you are going to fail, you will...

Funeral and memorial services play a vital role in the grieving process following the loss of a loved one. These services provide a way to come to terms with our loss. It is also an opportunity to receive support from, as well as to provide support to friends and family. Some may not have had this experience yet, or are now experiencing it for the first time. If this is the case, one may not know what to expect at these types of services, or what will take place. There are many, many diverse cultures, traditions, and religions; and there are just as many types of funeral and memorial services. Every memorial service is as unique as the individual it is meant to remember. Visitation The visitation is...

The East Coast has many amazing locations to offer, but none that can boast as rich or as unique a history as Rhode Island can. Aside from New York and Boston, Rhode Island, perhaps, is one of the most historically significant places in the entire nation. Nearly everywhere that you can go when you travel to this state has a tale surrounding it, and the state also hosts of some of the oldest and most famous mansions in the United States, many of which are registered with the Historical Society. There is actually quite a lengthy list of nation and statehood firsts that Rhode Island holds claim to. It was first to defy the rules, laws and taxations of the British monarchy, leading to the Revolutionary...

Scholarships are believed to be for bright students only and those who are considered just ordinary because they don't have an A average have no chance at all getting the grants. But this in not really true as there are now scholarships without essays for average students. While not requiring that students taking these types of scholarships have a high GPA, they do require excellence in a non-academic area. These kinds of scholarships do not depend on academic merit, but they are more a recognition of the student's athletic or artistic merit, community service, extracurricular activities, or on a skill in a non-academic discipline. This development has come about because the types of grantors of...

I have been taking some people through the Gospel of Luke, reading it and studying it, and below are certain vital principles for every aspect and area of service, work, ministry and business. These lessons are so very practical and profitable! We are reading in Luke Chapter 10 of various basic principles when it comes to mission and ministry. Jesus teaches those men He is sending out to travel light. Don't let a lot of luggage hinder you and clutter you, and slow you down. And - don't waste time blethering and gossiping along the way - lit. 'don't pass the time of day with people'. What does this mean? Don't spend too much time on superficial conversation, so that the time just passes and...

What is involved in serving Jesus Christ the King? I ask this because to commit one's life to this mighty calling is the greatest cause in the whole world. Yes, that is a big claim to make, but can you show me a greater cause than that of serving the Son of God? We read in Acts Chapter 19 in the New Testament, of how Paul served and ministered to these twelve men in Ephesus - making sure that they had everything God wanted them to have. Paul is concerned that disciples of Jesus Christ have all they need to do the work God wants them to do. Make sure you have all God wants you to have. By that, I mean, for service and not simply for personal aggrandisement or private luxury. But having all God...
