Liberal Jews' belief about Jewish identity

Jewish identity is about being raised as a Jew and appreciating the faith, not which parent is Jewish

A prayer that is said daily at the morning and evening services and displays love of God

The oneness of God is important in Judaism because the Decalogue begins by stating God is one, the Shema emphasizes God's oneness, and creation is a unity by one God.

God as the creator is important because Genesis teaches God is the creator, creation is a gift, and God's work of creation is ongoing.

God is a Law-Giver, providing 613 commands to Moses, allowing people to live happily and connect with God.

The first five books of the Jewish Scriptures

Description of Shekhinah

The majestic presence or manifestation of God which has descended to dwell among us

Key quote from the Torah about Shekhinah

"My presence will go with you and I will give you rest."

2 Chronicles 7:1-3 event

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

Reason for Jewish belief in Shekhinah

Allows a personal relationship with the Almighty, as they believe they can be in God’s presence.

Seen as the burning bush and Moses’ face beams with light after spending time with the Shekhinah on Mount Sinai.

Orthodox understanding of Shekhinah

Believed to be like a light created to be a link between God and the world.

Reform/Liberal understanding of Shekhinah

Represents the feminine characteristics of the presence of God as Shekhinah is a feminine word in Hebrew.

Importance of different understandings of Shekhinah

Shows that God is far beyond human thought and allows Judaism to relate to modern ideas such as feminism.

The agreement between God and his people.

An agreement between God and the Jewish people, written on two tablets of stone, kept in the Ark of the Covenant.

Importance of the Mosaic Covenant

1. Basis of Judaism with 613 mitzvot. 2. Duty for Jewish people to keep mitzvot. 3. Fulfillment of destiny to bring the world to worship God. 4. Basis for interpretations in Jewish divisions.

Role of Moses in the Covenant

Moses led the Israelites from Egypt, met the shekhinah on Mount Sinai, and delivered God's laws to the Jewish people.

You shall have no other gods before Me.

The first commandment emphasizes monotheism and loyalty to one God.

You shall not make for yourself a carved image.

The second commandment prohibits idolatry and the worship of images.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

The third commandment stresses respect for God's name.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Honour your father and your mother.

The fifth commandment promotes respect and obedience to parents.

You shall not murder.

The sixth commandment forbids taking another person's life.

You shall not commit adultery.

The seventh commandment prohibits infidelity in marriage.

The eighth commandment forbids taking what is not yours.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

The ninth commandment prohibits lying or giving false testimony.

You shall not covet your neighbour's house.

The tenth commandment warns against envy and desire for others' possessions.

Importance of the Ten Commandments for Jews today.

They promote good relationships, reject violence, and encourage honesty and respect.

Why may the Mosaic Covenant be unimportant today?

The document does not provide specific reasons for this question.

Reform Jews' belief about the 613 Mitzvot

Many reform Jews believe the 613 Mitzvot are not God’s words since the Torah was written by humans influenced by God. Therefore, not every Mitzvot listed in the Mosaic Covenant needs to be kept.

Reform Jews' view on Mitzvot and gender equality

Some reform Jews think the Mitzvot found in the law of Moses is sexist in the demands it makes of women, therefore these rules should not be kept in our age of equality.

The Abrahamic covenant is considered the beginning of the Jewish faith as understood today.

Abraham’s side of the covenant includes circumcision and worshiping God alone.

Some Jews have different views on the state of Israel and the promised land because some Orthodox Jews believe that only the return of the Messiah will bring about the return of the promised land.
