Module I
Task 1.1
1. Patriarchy is important to Judaism’s history because they play significant roles in Hebrew

scripture during and following their lifetimes. They are used as a significant marker by God in
revelations and promises, and continue to play important roles in the Abrahamic faiths.
2. By a belief in one transcendent God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and

the Hebrew prophets and by a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic
traditions.
3. The covenant is a promise that God made with Abraham. According to the covenant, God
would offer protection and land to Abraham and his descendants, but they must follow the path
of God. God then commanded Abraham and his future generations to perform the ritual of
circumcision or the brit milah as a symbol of the covenant.
4. Hebrew patriarch who was the grandson of Abraham, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the
traditional ancestor of the people of Israel. Jacob is the son of Isaac and Rebekah. He has a twin
brother named Esau
5. The relationship between Judaism and politics is a historically complex subject, and has evolved

over time concurrently with both changes within Jewish society and religious practice, and
changes in the general society of places where Jewish people live.
TASK 1.2
1. Oral traditions preserved among ancient sages, whereas the latter denotes texts of scriptural
revelation.
2. The Five Books of Moses are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. They tell
the Jews about their history, the laws they should follow and how to live according to God's will.
3. Midrash is the rabbinic, legal, and narrative interpretations of the Torah.
4. The contemporary branches of Judaism differ in their interpretations and applications of these
texts.
TASK 1.3
1. The first point on the time line is creation and the myths associated with the origins of the cosmos
that are common to the ancient near east
2. Thematic center is the evolving relationship between God and Israel that is presented in a linear
fashion with three temporal coordinates: creation, revelation, and redemption. Genesis 1: the first day
in which God creates light, separating it from darkness; the sky on day two; land and plants on day
three; the celestial lights of the sun, moon, and stars on day four; fish and birds on day five; land animals
and humans on day six; and Shabbat rest on day seven.
3. God and Israel on Sinai.
4. Freedom from slavery received as God's people
TASK 1.4
Study Questions:
1. Image of God as Shekhinah by constructing a theological bridge or ladder between them based on
the doctrine of the ten sefirot or emanations of divinity. In this mystical framework, the kabbalists first
posited the Ein Sof or “infinite” image of God that is radically transcendent and cannot be
comprehended.
2. Jewish worship stopped being centrally organized around the Temple, prayer took the place of
sacrifice, and worship was rebuilt around rabbis who acted as teachers and leaders of individual
communities.
3. The 20th-century American Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel responded to the essentialist
philosophy of the modern period by arguing that people had become so used to perceiving God as the
object of their reflection ,they were unable to realize God’s transcendent nature as the ineffable subject
and source of ultimate reality who is in search of humanity.
4. The Holocaust, Heschel argued that human beings had to recover the sense of wonder at divine
transcendence in order to hear the “still small voice” (1 Kings19:12) of God drowned out by human
domination.
TASK 1.5
1. It was the start of the relationship between God and the Jewish people. The covenant carries with it
the promise of the land of Canaan. Some Jews believe this promise is still to be fulfilled.
The covenant marks the origins of the Jewish practice of circumcision.
2. Since human beings were created with free will, God gives them the choice of pursuing “life and
prosperity” or “death and adversity” ultimately enjoining them to choose life.
3. Secularism refers to the separation of religion from the state. It means that the state should not
discriminate among its citizens on the basis of religion. It should neither encourage nor discourage the
followers of any religion
4. Jews are reminded about every year at the Pesach seder celebration.

TASK 1.6
1. Visions of God’s omnipotence, omnipresence, and goodness are radically compromised and
God’s relationship to evil is blurred in the face of unjustified suffering, illustrating the
continually swinging pendulum between theodicy and antitheodicy throughout history.
2. The rabbis constructed a theodicy by arguing that God created every human being with a yetser
tov or “good urge” and the yetser ha-ra, “bad urge” They asserted that both urges were necessary
because the bad urge provided individuals with the libido or energy that they needed to use for
productive purposes like building houses, marriage, having children, and conducting business. if a
righteous person suffers in this world, he or she will be rewarded in olam ha-bah, the “World to Come”
when all the righteous souls will be reunited with their bodies after the Messiah comes.
3. In their commentary on Lamentations, the rabbis interspersed examples of Israel’s guilt for
the destruction of both Temples, based on a rejection of God, failure to study Torah, and ethical
and cultic violations.
4. The Holocaust when Jewish theologians were faced with the tremendously difficult task of affirming
their covenant with God while recognizing that the same God of Sinai is also the God of Auschwitz.
TASK 1.7
1. In the biblical text of Psalms, there is a description of death, when people go into the earth or the
“realm of the dead” and cannot praise God. The first reference to resurrection is collective in Ezekiel’s
vision of the dry bones, when all the Israelites in exile will be resurrected. There is a reference to
individual resurrection in the Book of Daniel
2. Salvation in olam ha-bah, the “World to Come.” Divine judgment of the wicked occurs
in Gehenna or Gehennom, a type of purgatory or hell where they will be cleansed of their sins for up to
a year and beyond.
3. Salvation in olam ha-bah is described in three different ways: disembodied souls basking in the
divine presence with no bodily urges; feasting out of the flesh of Leviathan; and generally experiencing
eternal life with no evil.
4. Jewish people have a “reserved place” in olam ha-bah based on their study of Torah along with
prayer, repentance, and good deeds, though their “reservation” for olam ha-bah can be cancelled as a
result of sins.
TASK 1.8
1. Shabbat is a twenty-five hour observance beginning at sundown on the prior evening (Friday) and
ending at nightfall on Saturday.
2. Judaism requires Sabbath candles to be lit before the Sabbath; it is forbidden to light

them on the Sabbath. Ignition is one of the Sabbath laws that has been cited to prohibit electricity on
Shabbat.
3. Pesach is a seven-day spring festival (observed for eight days in the Diaspora) that commemorates
the Exodus of the Jews from Egyptian slavery, and celebrates Jewish national freedom more generally.
4. Shabbat and of Rosh Ha-shanah
5. “Post-biblical” holidays. Purim, a late-winter festivity,commemorates the salvation of theJews of

ancient Persia from annihilation, based on the account in the biblical Book of Esther.
TASK 1.9
1. Since biblical times, the rite of circumcision has been the most primal and essential rite of entry into
the Jewish community. So, for example, the uncircumcised were prohibited from participating in the
very first and most important sacrament of ancient Judaism, the sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb on the eve
of the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt. In the rabbinic tradition, one who is not circumcised is “cut off”
from both the community of Israel in this life and from enjoying his “portion in the world to come.”
2. Kashrut, that prohibit the consumption of any of the species of animals, birds, and fish classified by
scripture as unclean; and the claws of family purity (taharat ha-mishpacha) that require menstruating
women to avoid intimate contact with their husbands until a week after the end of their period and
following their immersion in a mikvah, or ritual bath.
3. The mikvah is also used bysome Orthodox Jewish men, mainly the Hasidim, on the eve of
Shabbat and Jewish holidays, and by all Orthodox men and women on the eve of the Day of Atonement
(Yom Kippur) to purify themselves before these Holydays. Converts to Judaism are also immersed in the
mikvah as a symbol of their re-birth as members of the Jewish community.
4. Judaism has extensive customs and rites for mourning the loss of a relative. Burial is to take place as
quickly as possible, ideally less than twenty-four hours after death. The body is ritually cleansed by
volunteers from a community organization known as the chevra kadisha, or Holy Society, and buried is
white shrouds—and, in the case of men, in the tallit, or fringed prayer-shawl, with one fringe 0removed
to render it unfit for ritual use.
