Abstract
This paper examines how, in his article, Richard Rothstein illustrates the significance of incorporating songs, stories, questions, and differentiated learning in general instruction strategies in order to meet the different learning needs and capabilities of students. It looks at how he cites the example of the Passover festival in which Jewish children are given information about Jewish history in the manner that makes the instruction and learning quite interesting and exciting and how, unlike the common standardized teaching strategies adopted in classrooms around the country, Passover uses a different strategy, which, on the one hand, keeps in view the different learning capabilities of children, and on the other, makes learning an 'involving' process in which children are actively engaged.
From the Paper
"While it is true that children have different educational needs and capabilities and not all students are interested in learning through standardized methods, Richard Rothstein's suggestions about adoption of Passover instruction method or something similar are not exactly practical or reasonable. We all know that religious teaching and instruction differs from general education because of the differences in text and scripts used as sources. since religious teaching mainly originates from sacred texts and Holy books with their own unique style of writing, it is easier to tell them by adding songs and stories. the same however cannot be done in the case of instruction of other subjects."

A Passover Way to Teach, 2002.
An analysis of the article "A Passover Way to Teach" by R. Rothstein in which the author argues that the Jewish Haggadah offers an approach to learning that solves current learning problems.

Abstract
The paper examines the idea presented in "A Passover Way to Teach" that the Jewish Haggadah presents teaching methods that are more effective than the methods used in a modern education system. The paper discusses the validity of the claim by presenting the flaws and problems in the argument. The paper explains the difficulty of adopting this teaching approach to a modern education system.
From the Paper
"The major flaw is that the Haggadah refers to teaching spiritual values in the context of an ancient culture. It is not easy to apply this to modern society and to the modern classroom. Despite the claim that the Haggadah solves the problems of modern education, few real answers are provided. The major point that children should be taught according to their own needs has some benefit if the focus remains on the how of learning, but instead the author focuses on the what of learning."

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the meaning of Passover within the context of the old Testament. Today, Passover is a festival which commemorates the day which the Jewish people sometimes refer to as the "Season of Our Freedom" (Gaster 31). While, from a seasonal perspective, the holiday marks the release of the earth from the grip of winter, Passover is best known for its historic significance. From a historical perspective, Passover marks the exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. This paper will examine Passover from a historical and Biblical perspective.
Passover now stands for the birth of the Jewish nation, dating back to the time that Israel first prepared to face the hazards of the elements as "God, in His providence, brought it to Sinai, gave it the Law, and..."

Jewish Rituals and Festivals, 2005.
This paper discusses Jewish rituals, such as those associated with death and with the Sabbath and festivals such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Passover.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Jewish religion, like most major religions, has its own set of rituals and festivals, which offers its followers a sense of belonging and helps them attain a greater sense of commitment to their religious beliefs. The author points out that the weekly ritual of Sabbath, which takes place on Friday and ends on Saturday, during which Jewish people refrain from working, is based on the belief that God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. The paper relates that Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, which falls on the 10th day of the month of Tishri, during which Jews are urged to fast except old or sick people or children under the age of 13.
From the Paper
"Rosh Hashanah is also an important day for ridding one's self of sins. It is believed that if the first day of Rosh Hashanah doesn't fall on Sabbath, then people should go to the seashore and cleanse themselves of their sins of the past one year. The casting away of sins has given rise to the ceremony of Tashlich which is based on the words of the prophet Micah, "Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." In this ceremony, sins are cast away in the sea. But as popular and important as this ceremony may have become, it doesn't appear in the Talmud, and the Gaonim have never mentioned it in any of their writings."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The author of Hebrews points out that Moses deserved honor because he was faithful to his house. Jesus, however, deserved more honor because He built that house. Moses was a servant in his house, but Jesus was a son in the house. The Jews had a very high opinion of their religion, and the author was trying to make the point that the Christian religion was as worthy of consideration as Judaism; not only that, but the priesthood of Christianity was even superior to the Jewish priesthood. The author is trying to explain that the relationship between Jesus and the gospel is the same as the relationship between Moses and the law. Both Moses and Jesus were faithful in fulfilling ancient promises. Moses fulfilled the earthly promise God made to Abram about having his own nation. Jesus, however, fulfilled the spiritual promise God made as far back as Eden, as Adam and Eve were being expelled. Jesus fulfilled forty centuries of spiritual promises through His faithfulness."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"This exaltation of Jesus Christ above Moses is the capstone on this Exodus-Hebrews typology pyramid. Comparing the two occurrences doesn't really have much of a point without the mention that the work of Christ is better than the work of Moses. Moses freed the people from an earthly bondage. Christ freed them from spiritual slavery. The Passover kept the firstborns from a physical death. The crucifixion keeps Christians from a spiritual death. The Red Sea was a physical show of faith. A baptism is a faith promise - a public display of an internal decision. Manna sustained the Israelites physically, while Christ sustains Christians spiritually. The wilderness was a time of testing for the Israelites. The sanctification process is a time of testing for the Christian. Mount Sinai provided the Israelites with laws to live by; justification for a Christian doesn't involve laws, but faith. Kadesh-Barnea was a time of testing when the Israelites have to choose whether to stand for God or waiver in their faith. Each Christian reaches a crossroad in their life when they have to make a similar decision. The Israelites who stood firm with Christ were rewarded, eventually, with Canaan. Christians who stand firm with Christ will be rewarded with the spirit-filled life."

King Josiah Reforms, 2005.
This paper compares two different accounts of King Josiah's reforms as found in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the two versions of King Josiah's reforms in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35 are similar, at least in the beginning. The version in Chronicles adds a second story concerning the keeping of the Passover. The author points out that both tales depict King Josiah as a great reformer, a king who restored the true traditions of Israel and who faithfully followed the precepts of God. The paper relates that both versions dwell on Josiah's actions in wiping out paganism; Josiah avails himself of every possible means to completely and totally erase from view objects and symbols of error.
From the Paper
"The stories of King Josiah's reign that are found in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles agree in their condemnation of bad practices. They agree too, in the need for God's order to be maintained and in the necessity of those who are charged with setting a good example to set such a good example. The second version adds to the original story only because the author feels that he must, as evidently the people of Israel have slipped even further from the righteous path. It made sense to him to include an accurate description of the celebration of Passover in the story of a King who was already widely believed to be especially holy and especially committed to the propagation of God's truth. Thus, these two versions of the same story differ because their intended audiences differ."

"Ozymandias", 2002.
An analysis of the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley concerning a massive statue lying in ruins in the desert.

Abstract
The paper describes the poem about the remains of a huge statue lying in sand surrounded by nothing. The paper describes the construction of the poem and analyzes it. It then puts the poem within its historical context explaining that Ozymandias is in fact Rameses II, the Egyptian king associated with the biblical story of the Exodus?the original Passover where Moses led the Israelites from slavery, crossing the Red Sea, on a 40-year quest to the Promised Land. A brief history of Rameses II is given and the writer relates this history to the poem.
From the Paper
"The poem is a sonnet written in the iambic pentameter. The construct is not distinguished by the traditional one octet and one sestet, or two septets. The tone of poem is what creates a separation between the 14 lines. The poem is a quasi-narrative. The first 11 lines are informative?almost a celebration?breathing life into a statue and reliving the life of the person the statue represents; and, the next three lines achieve a tone of regret of what might have been, resigning the narrator to the universal truth?the ephemeral nature of life."

The Holocaust and the Israeli Society, 2004.
This paper discusses the Holocaust, the effect on the survivors, and the way Israel memorializes its victims.
4,470 words (approx. 17.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 116.95

Abstract
This paper explains that the most intimidating feature of the Holocaust was that people were mute to extremities of human pain, eking out their survival under the most discouraging conditions. Heroism is at the core of the Holocaust, an irredeemable section of it. The author points out that Israel, with the largest number of survivors, has had a large role in saving the reminiscences of the people of the Holocaust. The paper relates that, in Israel, the 27th of Nissan, which comes after Passover, is Yom Hashoah, the Israeli national day of mourning and commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust and other martyrs.
From the Paper
"For these survivors, marriages were seen to be a tough experience, and the task of raising children was even tougher. One among the most recurrent argument in favor of the survivors is that they wanted to become parents so as to ascertain themselves with a proper relationship. The most prevalent aspect of child survivors is the fight with their memories, whether there is abundance or a dearth of it. Nowadays for the child survivor, an even more confusing dilemma is the intervening parts of memory - most are emotionally virulent and sorrowful but make no clear sense. They seem to recur more and more in course of time and are set off by umpteen subconscious or unconscious memories."

Abstract
The author of this paper attended a Jehovah's Witness service "Memorial for Christ's Death" (akin to a Passover Celebration or Easter Service). In a personal observation, the author notes the social interaction and comments on the differences between members and "outsiders". Details of the service are also included, textually and graphically.
From the Paper
"I do feel that the people I met were sincere in their belief that they were practicing God's will, but what was the "hidden agenda". I definitely conformed to the social standard operating procedures regardless of my religion. Their meeting place, the "Kingdom Hall" is subtle thus reinforcing the passive attitude of the attendees. I think way the Witnesses dressed distinguishes them from society. Even though I was clean and presentable I felt different. I think that they present themselves as interested (introducing themselves) and helpful (sharing the hymn book) to convince outsiders that they are a caring organization. If one is convinced that they are an organization to be trusted then perhaps the ultimate goal of converting new recruits can be reached."

Abstract
The terms and traditions of three religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam are examined and explained. Judaism's Passover, Zionism and Hanukah are dealt with, Christianity's Pentecost, Anglican Church, and Jesuits are the terms explored in addition to Islam's Salet, Umma, and Hijra. The writer ends by saying that each religion has its own practices and terms. By understanding some of these terms, one can gain a better insight about the various religions around the world.
From the Paper
"In Judaism, three terms which need to be explored are Passover, Zionism, and Hanukah. Passover is "a holiday observing the period in history when the Jewish people were freed from slavery (http://www.christ-centered.net/passover.html)." It "refers to the fact that God 'passed over' the houses of the Jews when he was slaying the firstborn of Egypt (http://www.jewfaq.org/holidaya.htm)."
Today, Jewish followers celebrate Passover by with a Seder. "Seder means order, and Jewish people read the Passover story in a special order from a book called Haggadah. Haggadah means, 'to tell' and the story is told of Jewish ancestors and their bondage and journey to freedom (http://www.christ-centered.net/passover.html)." The Jewish people are reminded they are free through the reading of the story. The observance of Passover starts on "the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan."
