The Jewish beliefs in marriage stem mostly from one of the five books within the Torah called the Book of Bereishit, also known as the Book of Genesis. This is the book of creation explaining how God came to create the world. In the Book of Genesis it describes the creation of Adam and Eve, “And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that

Of course, these simple monikers do nothing truly to exemplify fully the great conflicting ideas with which these individuals deal; antiquity and modernity, talmud and Torah, life and death, exile and homeland, and, admittedly, many more dominate the situations of both authors. This is, perhaps, a testament to the condition of Jews today—ensnared between conflicting worlds, and forced into exile between disparate ideals

Judaism, one of history’s oldest monotheistic beliefs, is a semitic religion based upon the covenant made by the Jewish God, Yahweh, to Abraham. Abraham’s descendant was Jacob called Israel.

However, it is written by different authors viewing the life of Jesus from different perspectives as can be seen from the Gospels. The Torah attributed to Moses as its author may not be uniform in its teaching, however, there exists a “Mosaic unity” among them with each book standing alone and complementing the

Mosaic Dietary Laws Introduction      The Mosaic dietary laws, the laws imposed by the directives of Moses on the Israelites, extended from earlier restrictions that had been placed on the eating habits of the human race.
