Jewish Skullcaps Summary

262 Words2 Pages

The article, “French Jews struggle with an identity dilemma as violence increases”, claims that French Jews are being targeted by ISIS. The Jews don’t know if they should wear skullcaps in public because it could potentially cause them to be a target. A skullcap proclaims their religion, and is meant to remind the wearer of God’s presence over him. I think that Jews should be allowed to wear kippas (skullcaps) because they would still be attacked for any other reason that expresses that they are Jewish. The kippas aren 't really offensive and they don 't affect anyone. If they are offensive, it 's only because it identifies the wearer as being Jewish. Something that would be offensive would be wearing a picture of a muslim person

    1236 Words  | 5 Pages

Painted to convey the everyday lives of his subjects, Vermeer’s canvases reveal merchant families in their homes engaging in very average actions like reading letters or talking to one another. Adversely, the author Timothy Brook uses the art Vermeer created to portray the beginning of trade around the world during the seventeenth century. In these paintings are objects that Brook depicts with social economic features such as carpets, porcelain, silver coins, and maps which he elaborates on their origins and how these simple objects were useful during the era illustrated.

  • Summary Of Week One Jewish Struggle Against Hellenism

    226 Words  | 1 Pages

    Week One Jewish Struggle against Hellenism Response Antiochus Epiphanes IV was a Greek Hellenistic king, and it was under his reign that Hellenism advanced throughout the region influencing every aspect of Jewish life except when it came to Judaism. According to Roetzel (2002), “Antiochus’s complete contempt for Judaism is, in fact, evident in the way he manipulated the high priestly office” (p. 12). Antiochus’s underhanded ploy to subversively control the priesthood only caused more contention among the traditional Jews. The contention between the traditional Jews and those who were compromising their religious beliefs with a pagan religion was on the brink of erupting into a civil war.
