Rabbi Zevi Reflection

557 Words3 Pages

This quarter I took Sinai Scholars at the University of California, Irvine with Rabbi Zevi. The class covered a variety of topics including: Marriage and Relationships, Torah, Mitzvot, Shabbat, and Mysticism. This class really sparked my interest when we were talking about Marriage and Relationships because it really connected to me in today 's modern world. I have always thought I would marry Jewish because I saw the struggles of my parents because my dad 's family is catholic. He converted for my mother and I always had great respect for that. They shared something that was special to them. After learning the section on relationships in the Jewish way, I learned that there is much more than what I personally thought. It made me analyze my own personal life and how I can change things. Rabbi Zevi used his own marriage to show to different values that him and his wife share. This was by far my favorite lesson because it is something that all college students are in the search for. Some of the other lessons were extremely interesting, but they did not holds as much importance in my life. …show more content…

The lesson about the tent and privacy laws, were applicable to modern day but it was more difficult to follow along the lesson and how each step evolved. It was hard to comprehend how the Torah 's laws could dictate which way I place my window in the house. Overall, this class was very interesting to me because it gave me a different perspective of how I look at Jewish topics and values. Although, I felt this class was rushed and we could not get through all the material. They should cut down the material so we could talk about the topics more in depths and have

The film taught me that sexual assault on campuses is more common than I thought as well as less reported than I thought. It was shocking to learn of how colleges had ways of protecting a lot of the accused offenders, for example the athletes or fraternities.

    The lesson that stood out the most to me was Niccolo Machiavelli’s view that fear is stronger than love. Prior to the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Caesar built a nation of apes inspired by love and continuing onto this movie, this way of leadership developed a family. However, this view made him weak among his apes because they expected him to forgive them for doing wrong with little consequences. However, when Caesar was thought to be killed and Koba was the leader, his leadership style of fear resulted in majority of apes going against their morals, values and principles. The fear by him made him powerful among his apes because they expected no forgiveness for doing wrong and the consequence of death.

    First, I thought of some of my basic personal values. Ever since I was a little boy I attended mass regularly in order to maintain my relationship with God while also becoming a better person because of Him. It is through this active participation that I found connections between the Jewish religion and my religion. This spiritual experience is significant to me because even though we differ in religion, we all came together as a family to rejoice and worship in our Lord to better each other. Also, it was significant because this was my first time getting out of my comfort zone.

    I think this is important for us to realize, because it shows us something about ourselves as people. We are really more humane than we tend to picture ourselves being. The third lesson that stood out to me was that crimes you commit will haunt you for the rest of your life. “And here again was the scarlet misery, glittering on the old spot! So it ever is, whether thus typified or n, that an evil deed invests itself with the character of doom”

While the students were doing their work I had a chance to walk around the classroom, I saw at least five rules in big letters in the back of the room, which reminded me off Hary Wong and his teachings off rules and procedures. After the bell rings and they go to math. The teacher starts the lesson by asking the class what they know about the subject and go from there. The teacher asks the students to turn and talk to the person next to them about what they learned or explain it to someone who doesn’t understand it.

    After taking this class I started looking at children and young adult’s literature in a different way, especially books that talked about Muslims/ Arabs and are written by non-Arabs. I learned to look at the book in a different perspective, not only in the way the author describes the Arabs but also how they are showed in pictures. I remember when I used to read a book and write a respond about it most of my response are positive and how much the author did a great job writing the book and showing the image of the Muslims and the Arabs but the next day when I go to class and discus how the author presented the Arabs my entire opinion will change. I remembered one of the books, I think it was The Day of Ahmad’s Secret, my respond to the book was really good and I thought the author was doing a great job by showing others who Arabs live
