The Jews of the world are a forrest. As the forest grows, seeds spread and take root and sprout new trees. Over time the forest spreads. It is easy to think that the trees are individual and not related to the other trees, but this is wrong. The trees are all connected; they are unique and yet at the same time together and unified. They have spread to different parts of the forest, however they all come from the same place and share a common story. This is the case for Jews of the world. One can fall back and take the easy route, assuming that the many Jewish communities, (other than perhaps the major ones in Israel and North America) live in isolation.

In addition I also love to travel. I love to go to places thousands of miles away and see myself as a permanent resident of that place.

Throughout the Nazi regime in Europe from 1943 to 1945, many Jews opposed Hitler’s policies by engaging in acts of physical, mental and spiritual resistance. Many non-Jews also stood by the Jews in opposing Hitler’s government and his policies. These people helped many Jews escape ghettos and concentration camps. However, there were also many Jewish people who did not resist the Nazi’s and fell victim to their rule. Many non-Jews did not help the Jewish people and simply followed the regime by ignoring the atrocities that the Jews faced throughout the Nazi regime.

Belonging During the Holocaust How would you feel if the only way it came down to survive was to feel belonging? If you didn 't belong in many ways during the Holocaust there was a low chance of surviving. If you didn 't feel belonging than that would usually lead to many things like sadness and loneliness.

Culture and Religion seem to be working hand in hand in society, when looking at culture we look at characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, food, social habits (things that are done natural e.g. saying please and thank you), music and arts. With religion people often use the word to mean the worship of a god or gods. However, some religions do not have gods. One thing that all religions have in common is that they help their believers to find meaning and comfort in the world by using some aspects from that particular religion. With culture and religion playing a big role in our everyday and life choices contraceptives go against a lot of cultural and religion choices and
