2.1.2: The Shekhinah WORSHIP PRAYER STUDY Divergent Views: Orthodox; only men can make up a minyan, Torah is primary focus of Yeshiva Reform; women can make up a minyan Shekinhinah = the divine presence of God which is still with us today SIMILAR TO CHRSTIAN HOLY SPIRIT STUDY WORSHIP PRAYER Yeshiva Why is the Shekhinah important? Shows Jews that God is still with them today Shows why the Temple in Jerusalem is so special- shekhinah is there

Belief in the Messiah is important because; Jews look forward to the restoration of the Temple It encourages Jews to follow the Mitzvot The Messiah will; Rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem Bring peace to the whole world Orthodox Reform Messiah will not come until ALL Jews follow the mitzvot Only God knows when the Messiah will come There is no one “Messiah” By all Jews working together and following God they can bring about the Messianic age

2.1.4: The Covenant at Sinai Why is covenant at Sinai important? https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=MIk6i62zQ9A Why is covenant at Sinai important? These rules provide a guide for living for the Jews Jews believe that keeping these commandments will fulfil the covenant and God will protect them

2.1.5: The covenant with Abraham Covenant: a solemn agreement or promise between two parties Why is the covenant with Abraham important?

Gan Eden Gehinnom 2.1.8: Life after death LOTS of variation! We should worry about the here and now, not the after life 2.1.8: Life after death LOTS of variation!
