Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. Jews are guided by the Torah.

God

I worship God. I believe he is the one true almighty God who spoke to Abraham. I believe I am one of God’s chosen people.

 

Ten Commandments

I follow the Ten Commandments. These are the laws which were given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. They teach me how to live a good life.

 

Worship

Our worship is led by the Rabbi who reads from the Torah. The word Torah comes from the Hebrew word for “law” or “teaching” and its words are meant to guide us in life. It should never be touched by hand so it is always read with a yad.

 

Synagogue

The synagogue is our holy temple where Jews go to worship. It is the centre of our community where we go to meet other Jews, study and ask for religious advice.

 

Shabbat

Shabbat is the seventh day of the Jewish week on which God rested after creation. Shabbat lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. Every Friday, my family shares a Shabbat meal of Kosher Food.

 

Pesach

We celebrate the Feast of Passover (Pesach) to commemorate the liberation from slavery of the Children of Israel who were led out of Egypt by Moses.

Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
