The Christian Churches and the Jewish Synagogues serve the same purpose. They are both houses of God, holy to their religions, places where one can worship and pray to God. Both the Church and the Synagogue are the centers
The First Christians were called Nazarenes, which were Jews that listened to the message that Yeshua of Nazareth was teaching and began to follow his word. As the Gentiles began to hear of Yeshua, they started following him as well. In time the Gentile Church lost touch with its Jewish roots, while the Nazarenes stayed with their Jewish identity, living in the remnant of Israel and amidst the Jewish community. By the Seventh Century, Jewish Christianity disappeared (B'rit Hadasha Synagogue, n.d.). In modern days these Jewish believers in Yeshua as the Messiah, were called Hebrew Christians.
Orthodox Judaism does not have only one movement, instead it has multiple movements which surround its main principles. The movements are quite similar to one another in the sense of their beliefs and their commitment to the both written and Oral Torah. Jews who believe in the Orthodox branch believe that the "Torah is from Heaven." The way in which they differ is in the way they approach modern culture and Israel. Orthodox Judaism is a recent term, it was created to show the differenced between the various jewish movements.
3. Jews are knows as the “Children of God” and live in the “Holy Land”. 4. Jews have their teachings through the bible “Torah” that refers to the first five books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Another name for the Hebrew bible is the “Tanach”.
The term “Our Father” is from the word “Abba” which carried a more intimate sense of “daddy”. It is a sense of intimacy that Jesus instructs his disciples to relate to God. The use of “our” suggests that we must pray, not only alone and for ourselves, but with and for
Talmud: The body of Jewish civil and ceremonial law (how to live). Tikkun Olam: repairing the world Shabbat: the Sabbath day of rest for the Jews. Bimah: a raised platform in a synagogue from which the Torah is read Tanakh: the Jewish scriptures which consist of three divisions--the Torah and the Prophets and the Writings Mantle: the Jewish Mantle is a velvet/silk cloth that covers the Torah when it is not being used. The Mantle is always colourful and decorative. Diaspora: was the historical exile of Jews from the region of the Kingdom of Judah and Roman Judaea.
The faith of the Jewish population is in the love and power of G-d to bring about his purpose for all humankind, which bases itself upon the omnipotent being appointing them to be his chosen people and for them to set an example of holiness and ethical behaviour in the world. (Hoffman, 2008) Judaism, ceases to be one of the most traditional World Religions that sorely focuses on the Torah, G-d’s instruction, and the traditional beliefs and ideologies in which the religion was founded with. There are many aspects within the religion in which are most commonly interpreted as outdated within today’s modern and increasingly agnostic society and these aspects also allow a subjective opinion to be made on whether the religion of Judaism is lost in time. These vary from the beliefs and ideologies, to the Sabbath, food laws and beliefs upon life, death, sex, marriage and festivals to the holocaust and the variety of dominations that make up the religion, from the most traditional form being Orthodoxy to the predominant denomination of Reform Judaism. The argument therefore being posed is that these aspects allow the religion to be outdated and lost in time in many ways, yet is this necessarily a negative thing?
During the time of Paul, Jews were so preoccupied with upholding the Law that their lives where devoted to a strict regimented life. Paul would assert that freedom from sin (or rather the punishment of sin) comes only through Jesus Christ since he was sent from God as fulfillment of the Law1. Jews in the first century saw this as an attempt to throw away that Law, to make it void. It is easy see how the Jews would assume that this radical new idea, being free from sin purely by faith rather than austere adherence to the Law, but that is not entirely what Paul’s message is. In Galatians 3:15-18, Paul argues that a new covenant does not void previously made promises of God.
Fortress Press. Minneapolis, 1983.) Paul upholds the election of Israel throughout the text of Romans as while the apostle is driven by his belief that the time to offer salvation to the Gentiles has indeed arrived, the primacy of Israel remains the fulcrum of his theology. The binary understanding of Jew and Gentile is the prism through which Paul understands his mission (“Ἰουδαίου τε πρῶτον καὶ Ελληνος”) and denotes the fundamental Jewishness of the apostle’s worldview. The election of Israel as God’s chosen people and first receiver of his grace underlies even Paul’s most emphatic appeal to the righteous nature of the Gentile; his position is clearly that while the Gentile may indeed be offered a place in the scheme of divine favour (a theme deeply rooted in the Masoretic Scriptures) the privilege of Israel remains undiminished.
As for the Jews, their holy days are from Friday p.m. - Saturday p.m. were they attend a worship service at a synagogue, which is led by Rabbis as opposed to the Christian’s priest. Differences between the two are also shown through each religion’s sects even though they both share the sect of Orthodox. Christianity consists of Roman Catholicism and Prostinence; as opposed to Judaism’s sects of Conservative and Reformed, pretty simple though. Even though the two religions did distinguish a difference when it came to their worship services, they did share a similarity which would be the holy communion of breaking of bread and the sharing of
