Why would a Mezuzah hang slightly to the left on a door frame?

This week we will be making our own Mezuzot in class.  We will have a quiet time to reflect and write a simple family prayer.

Jewish People traditionally have many sacred items in their homes - one such item is the Mezuzah (plural Mezuzot). The name ‘Mezuzah’ refers to a scroll of parchment that is kept inside a case on almost every doorway in a Jewish home. The scroll contains a prayer comprised of verses from the Torah – a sacred Jewish text, written in Hebrew. The case that holds the scroll is often highly decorated with religious symbols.




It is usually affixed at least two thirds up on the door frame.

This week's challenge is to learn the French colours...

Our class rules on a scroll

Today we were making a scroll, with all our class rules. We had discussed and watched a clip about how the Torah is extremely important to Jewish people. It contains the principles and rules by which Jewish people live their lives.

How is Christianity different from Judaism?

We discussed today how Judaism differed from Christianity. Daniel said that we both believe in God, so how is it different? 

Christianity came to regard Jesus as in some sense God's presence in human form. This was unacceptable to most Jews.

Judaism is defined by a covenant made between God and the Jewish people. Part of this covenant is the Law, a set of religious and ethical rules and principles. Most Christians came to believe that this was replaced by Jesus' teaching.
