Who are the Jews?
I was inspired to learn about the Jewish religion after watched a television program on them. Frances Payne Adler, a poet and social activist, wrote many inspiring poems. Most of them related to her background, Jewish. Frances reminded the audience that she spoke nothing but the truth. A great majority of poems related to her upbringing. I had a hard time relating to them because of my lack of knowledge of the Jewish religion. I felt the need to explore this belief. Having grown up with a strong Moravian past, I seemed to overlook the various other religions. By exploring at least one additional religion, I feel I will be able to relate a little bit better to the diverse religions in the world. I want to highlight the main focus of the Jewish religion along with their important holidays.
