3,650 words (approx. 14.6 pages) | 3 sources | APA | 2005


Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, as a nation, Israel originally was a nomadic people who have been repeatedly dispersed and oppressed; after the horror of the Holocaust in the twentieth century, some Jews founded a homeland in the Land of Israel, the former center of their ancestors' faith. The author points out that Judaism, like all modern religions, has struggled to meet the challenge of secularization, the idealization of science, rationalism, industrialization and materialism. This paper includes a verbatim report of an interview with an older Jewish woman to understand more clearly what it is like to be Jewish and the structure of her beliefs.

From the Paper:

"Within the extended family of Judaism, there are many groups, many different focuses, and many areas of disagreement. Currently disputed issues include the degree of adherence to the Torah and Talmud, requirements for conversion to Judaism, the extent of the use of Hebrew in prayer, and the full participation of women. Women have begun to take an active role in claiming their rights to full religious participation as well."
