12-Mark Essay: Rights & Responsibilities

They help because in WW2 they were killed from the holocaust and shows that didn't have anything to eat because they were captured and killedWhile the Holocaust is a vital part of Jewish history, this question is asking about "Stories from the Past" (Scripture/Bible) like Abraham and Moses. Be careful to read the prompt closely. but today they have food, electricity, electronics and way more line education the right to play the right to live the right to laugh and etc. And in the past jewish people were hated because of their religon and got robbed and killed eventhough they weren't doing anything. But in today life they have the right to peace the right to food/water, the right to parents the right to have fun in life and do what every you like. A very long time ago there was a horrid person called the pharoh and one time he wanted every newborn baby boy deadAccurate recall of the context of the Moses story (the slaughter of the innocents). and then Moses went to God and then God said I will punish them. So God put 10 very difficult punishments to get past and one of them is called loccust, wild animals, raining frogs, no water and more.Excellent detailed knowledge of the specific plagues. This shows you have listened well to the narrative. And there was this time when The Pharon Challenged Moses to a magic challenge and God said to Moses to trust me and Moses went their and took a Staff that turned into a huge snake that could end your life in one bite.A fantastic specific detail! Remembering the staff turning into a snake shows you know the story well.

Jewish peopde have loads of stories to help understand their religan, one of many stories Is prophet Abraham. Abraham was a very faithful man to God. But God wanted to test his faithfulness. And what is this test you may ask? well, It was to sacrifice his own Son! You see, Abraham has really been trying to have a Son. But, even though he had to sacrifice his son, he was going to do it. So he took his son Isaac up to a mountain and was about to sacrifice him.You have adopted a very engaging storytelling style here which shows you know the narrative well. But, an angel came from the sky and said you are really faithful to God, but you don't have to sacrifice your son. And now, because Abraham has been So Trustworthy of God, God decided to give him a conevant. This conevant would give Abraham his own home land and he would give him loads of decendents.Excellent recall of the specific promises in the Covenant (The Promised Land and Descendants). So he Abraham, his wife and Son all traved to this promised home land and they settled down there and had loads of kids. And that is the story of Abraham. This story really shows that we always do whatever God says because It will always give something better in return.This is a strong moral conclusion, but to get higher marks you need to link it to a specific Jewish ritual today.

the story of Moses is about a young boy called Moses he was in a family of 12 and out of all of them he was his dads favorint.You have confused the characters! This is the story of JOSEPH (who had the coat of many colours), not Moses. he loved it so much one day he told his brothers his dream of ruling over them so they took him through him in a Hole but the pharon pass and takes him to egypt and worked as a slave in jail but the owner liked him so much they let him free because of his idea but people accused him of stealing something so they put him in jail but the pharao like his idea they let him free as the food worker selling seeds and eventually his brothers came but Moses forgave them this story shows how it helps the leade understand their religionAlthough you used the wrong name, you correctly identified that the moral of this story is 'Forgiveness'. in there own opinions of what there religion is.

Stories from the past help Jewish people understand their religion today because they can learn things from stories so they can respect their God even better. Also to To also respect Moses because he released the Isrelites from Prison.Good reference to the Exodus (though it was slavery, not just prison). People will read stories and start doing good deeds and belive that one day a mirical will happen like how The Maccabees had oil lasting 8 day while fighting of the Greeks.Accurate summary of the Hanukkah miracle. It can also tell you to always belive you go God because God sent the ten Plagues to force the person that Trap in prison the Isrealites free.You clearly understand the purpose of the plagues. It can also tell us to do what God tells you to do because how Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his Son (Issac) but then an Angel told him not to do it because God was testing his loyalty. and how Moses was told to do the ten commandment. So that why stories from the past help Jewish people under stand their religion more today to tha take it in more siriously.

stories from the Past help jewish people to understand their religion today because the jewish people saw the stories and one of the story was talking about moses when he was a slave At Egipt. The King at the time was Phero and he didn't want baby boy to grow up because in Phero head boys are warrioresGood understanding of Pharaoh's motive for killing the firstborns. but Phero didn't not kill Moses so he grow up... So moses run away in the desert and saw a burning tree so he approch it and then a voice came out the burning tree and that voice came from God and he said to Moses to Go back to Egipt to free the slaveAccurate retelling of the burning bush story.... The 10 plagues. The Blood rain start to happen in Egipt so everyone stay inside. the Next day wild animals start to come to Egipt like Rinos, Giraffe and hippoThis is a very creative interpretation! The bible mentions 'wild beasts', but Rhinos and Giraffes are not usually part of the traditional story.... thats why jewish people now understand their religion today because now all there faith is in God. Jewish people understand their religion Because of the Meaning of the story. For Example Abraham was told that if he worshiped god he had to sacrafise his Son and when Abraham was about to do what god said Because he worshiped him god said you have shown you worship me so you dont have to Sacrifice your son.Good summary of the climax of the Abraham story. Another story Jews understand today and learn from today Is the Story of moses. When moses was an adult he came across a Egyption Beating to death an isralite and moses killed the Egyption and fled the scene Because he knew he was wrong and could get caught. These stories have Meaning and for Jews the meaning of storys have an impacked for what they do after the story.You have identified that the stories have an impact, but you need to say WHAT that impact is.

Because stories from the past has morals about what you Should do and what you shouldn't do. For an exomple in the story moses the king did lots of bad things like killing babies making people slaves so in return he got punished. One other reason is because it also tell us more information like not to eat food that is not applied to themReference to Kosher laws. and how they can seek Gods help and also what you Should believe in uket the story of Abraham he was the first monothiest.Correct use of the key term. It helps you keep faith in God too because in the star of Hanukah (the macabees) they defeated the greeks and their oil lasted for 8 days which was quite a long time.Good summary of the Hanukkah story. They know whats Wrong and whats right so God doesnt punish them and its kind of like a warning its like its teling you how to have a good life and not do bad things.

Stories such as Jewish stories teach very important morals and beliefs to Jews. An example of a meaningful story is the Miracle of oil. This helps Jewish people value and appericate what they have. In the story of the Miracle of the oil... they only had enough oil to last one night. However, the oil was lasted for eight nights which Jews believe God did this to save them. Dueto this event, on Hannukah, Jewish people fry their food in oil to commerate and celebrate what the Macbees have done.This is an excellent specific link between the story and the food practice. Well done! without the macbees, they would not have oil today. Another source I was Many other stories have great meaning to Jewish people. Such as; the ten plagues, the Exodus & the ten commandments, presenting that those who do not listen to God, will recieve horrible consequences.You have grouped the Moses stories together well and identified the moral lesson. In this story, the consequence recieved by the Egyptian people were known as the ten plagues.

Stories from the past help Jewish people today because they can understand their religion more. Like the story Moses... when he Saw an Egyptian Brute killing a innocent Jewish person, Moses had enough, so he killed the BruteGood retelling of the specific incident that caused Moses to flee., but now Moses knew he was in big trouble So Moses ran to the desert. When Moses was Wandering in the desert he came across Spoke to god... Moses decided to go back to Egypt and talk to the pharoh about letting all the Jewish people go but the pharoh declined. Another Reason it is good for Jewish people to read stories from the past is the Hanukkah celebration. The Jewish people (Macabeers) had a battle war with the Greeks for years and now the Jewish have had finally defeated the GreeksCorrect historical context., the Macabees wanted to celebrate in their temple, they lit an oil lamp which should stay lit for one day but it Stayed lit for eight. The Macabees thought this was a miracle because they had enough time to find more oil.You explained the practical reason why the 8 days mattered.

The stories from the past help jewish people understand their religion because every story symbolises something. For example Abrahams story. In his story Abraham really wanted a son... when he was about to murder his son an angel stopped him and told him he passed the test. He was then rewarded with many sons. This story shows that trust and faith in God is important and that you shoudnt disobey God's word no matter what!This is a strong moral analysis of the story. And same with the story of Moses like when the pharaoh didnt listen to God's word he and his country was then hit with the 10 plagues because he ignored God. That story once again shows the importance of God.Correct, it shows God's power. And those 2 points show evidence on why stories from the past help jews understand their religion.

Jewish people help understand their religion today because of the stories of Abraham, and Moses and Hanukkah (The Macabees). Abraham was the first monotheist and believed in one god only.Correct identification of the key theological shift. Due to this, Abraham was tested by God to show his loyalty by sacrificing his son Issac... God said to him that he was a loyal Jewish man and that he doesn't need to kill him. Moses was the Prince of Egypt but was gnown to be a slave. But due to the large amount of migrants, he wasn't able to fight. So, one day he found an Egyptian in the desert being beat by an Isrealite so Moses then killed the Isrealite.You have this backward! Moses killed the Egyptian who was beating the Israelite. Moses left the desert because he knew there would be trouble. Later, God spoke to Moses through a burning bush. He said that he should go free the slaves from the Pharoph. Then he did. THE END.

Hanukkah: Hanukkah is a tredition muslim peopleCareful! We are studying Judaism (Jewish people). Muslims follow Islam. did and still do. They play games as a family. One of the games they play is called Diera? (Dreidel). That game is when you spin the dice. It is not like a normal dice it got special thing on it which is connected to their religine. They add sweets to it the only way you will win is if you get all of the sweets. The next thing they do is cook tradustional food which also connects to their religion. Every night they light a candle for 8 days to repersent the Story of why they do Hanukkah.Excellent description of the modern celebration (candles and food). The story begins a long time ago when their was bearly eletricity. then a person thought if they put oil on the candle it should stay on. But the only problem was they only found enough oil to last the 1 day. But there was a merical that little bit of oil lasted 8 days they were so happy.Good summary of the miracle of the oil.

Today sterey is about the Jewish festival an how it orginated. over two thousand years ago the Jewish army went to war against a other army called the macbees. (Correction: The Jewish army WERE the Maccabees, fighting the Greeks)You have a slight confusion here: The Jews *were* the Maccabees. They fought against the Greeks. After a whill the jews won and to celebrate they went to the macbees temple to celeprat they lit an oil lamp which of course in the name needed fuel to be lit... but the was a problem the buitiful lamp only had enough oil to burn for a day... then a mircale happen and the oil lamp stayed burning for more day seven eight more days.Good description of the miracle. So every year Jews allebrete Hanukkah and How the oil lamp burn for 8 days.

The story of The Maccabees took place around 2000 years ago where the Jews fought the Syrian leader Antiochus. Antiochus had previusly tried to force Jews to follow Greek Gods.Excellent historical context regarding the religious persecution. They had defeated him and decided to go to their temple to celebrate. As part of the celebration they lit an oil lamp. However there was only enough to last 1 day. Miraculously the lamp lasted 8 days which was the time it took for them to make a brand new lamp. this is where the festival Hanukkah comes from and every year there is a 8 day festival of Lights. Abraham was the first monotheist (meaning he only believed in one God). He was given a covenant / covenant = promise/agreement) by God and was told his desendants would be more than grains of sand.A specific detail from the scripture - well done.

the stories from the past helps People / jewish People understand their religion today because without information from the past they would have no real reason or purpose to do so. So when they learn information from the past to help unders tand their one religion that they deeply follow. For example they have food restrictions but they only know that from what they have heard from the pastThis is a very good point: the stories provide the reason for the rules. so if they hadn't of tookan that in they would technicaly not be following there religion. the 10 Plagues were bad for them they had to go through hell - blood, frogs, lice, W-Animals, Pests, boils, fiery hail, locusts, darkness and finaly Death of the born.

The jews has books/stories from the past to help them. It helps them by teatching them all the key point of life is. and each story has a different meaning. For example, there is a book called Hanukkah and its a Celebration for Jews. Over 2000 years ago the Maccabees and the Greeks Fought against eachover and it lasted Quite a long time. The Greeks got defeated by the macabees and as a Celebration they lit up oil to celebrate with but unfortiantly the oil For the Celebration only lasted 1 day and it was very devastating for the Jews. But then a miracle occured and it actually lasted For 8 days. For the all the Jews around the world it is very Important to them.You have accurately retold the core miracle of the Hanukkah story. The Jews now celebrate Hannukah every year to remember the miracle that happened. For a celebration to all the Jews each year For Hannukah they light up a candie and each day they blow one out (Correction: they light one). Each day of a Jewish household familys and Freinds come togther play games + eat and eat, and for the children they get gifts each day wich they find fun.You have given a lovely, detailed description of modern Jewish life (family, games, gifts). This answers the "Today" part of the question very well.

Stories help people (Jews) to understand their current religion because the mistakes and lessons that have accured in said times have helped and taught people to do the right thing, believe in God, keep their faith and to continue to learn from mistakes made in the holy book. There are a few examples of showing faith in God, Abraham for example. Abraham and his wife Sarah were growing old, with no children. As God knew this and Abraham had Prayed to God for children. Then God asked Abraham to Sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac. But Abraham was a man of God and immediately got to work preparing wood and bringing ointments.This is a very dramatic and detailed retelling. You captured Abraham's immediate obedience well. Abraham brought up the knife ready to Sacrifice his son but just in time an angel sent from above Stops Abraham from butchering his son. The angel speaks calmly and firmly, informing Abraham that God Understood the amount of faith that Abraham had and that God was only testing Abraham. This explains Abrahams Trust in God and he models trust and believing in the Jewish faith.You have successfully extracted the moral lesson: Abraham is a "Model of Trust".

stories help jewish people understand the religion today is because the storie shows they are living at this very momment. The story of Moses He was a boy what had brothers and he help his dad every day they and called the favorate child. His brother they didn't like that and put him in a well...You are telling the story of JOSEPH (the coat of many colours), not Moses! Then him and his brother sold him to a trader He became a slave... And said he could help the help the pharoh and so got what he wish and the pharoh trusted him and put him in charge of the food for land. This helps jewish people help the religion because they understand how lucky they are now they exist today and their homes.

Hanukkah: Hanukkah is a tradition muslim peopleCareful! We are studying Judaism (Jewish people). Muslims follow Islam. did and still do. They play games as a family. One of the games they play is called Diera? (Dreidel). That game is when you spin the dice. It is not like a normal dice it got special thing on it which is connected to their religine. They add sweets to it the only way you will win is if you get all of the sweets. The next thing they do is cook tradustional food which also connects to their religion. Every night they light a candle for 8 days to repersent the Story of why they do Hanukkah. The story begins a long time ago when their was bearly eletricity. then a person thought if they put oil on the candle it should stay on. But the only problem was they only found enough oil to last the 1 day. But there was a merical that little bit of oil lasted 8 days they were so happy.Good summary of the miracle. Part 2: Before that all of that. The Greak wasn't lising to the people so the people went to god and told him all about it. God was very disapointed in the Greak people so he told the people to go back and talk to them... So that is why muslim people do hanukkah. They also have this thing called EidEid is an Islamic festival. Jews celebrate Hanukkah/Passover..

Abraham had a conenat with God by promising god he will obey his orders, and be trusted. Abraham followed gods command, and was rewarded with many sons. As moses was born the israelites were enslaved and they were sad and worried since they didn't have a leader. When moses commited a crime by murdering his son and sacrifisiced he was told by God...Wait - Moses didn't sacrifice his son, that was Abraham! Moses killed an Egyptian guard. You have mixed the two stories. Abraham had no choice to follow gods order because he wanted to be loyal, and have a strong connection with god, he fled away into the desert. He made a fire with a bush and wondered what he will do. God spoke to him through the bush and said he had to break out the slaves from the village and aboard them to a ship.There was no ship in the Exodus story! They walked across the Red Sea on dry land. ...Moses returned to the village he gathered all the slaves and ran aboard ship with them the israelites saw him as a man as loyal and trustworthy. after a while, he was pronounced as the leader as israelites and decided he will do his best in the religion.

Stories from the past do help Jewish people understand their religion because these stories helps Jewish people learn what God has done for them. For example in the Story of Abraham God tested his faith (and he became the first ever Monotheist). This teaches Jewish people God tested Abraham's faith by asking him to Sacrifice his only son, this teaches Jewish people to alway trust God.Good extraction of the moral lesson: Trust. Another story that helps understand & Jewish people understand their faith is the Story of Moses, Moses was a chosen person by God So the Isrealites could be Saved from the Egyptians. This story encourages Jewish people to Stand by what they believe in because just like Moses God could hear anyone. My last example that proves that stories from the past can help the Jewish people understand their religion of today is the Story of Joseph. The Story of Joseph teaches everyone 2 things, that no matter what hardships you may face God is with you and that are the importance of forgiveness.Excellent! You correctly identified Joseph and the lesson of forgiveness.

Stories help Jewish people understand their religon because these stories have meanings to them. The ten plagues are a example of that because a pharoh thought he was more powerful than god and he wasn't scared of him. The ten plagues were realy effecting the community. Some of the plagues were boils, blood and the death of every Egyptian baby. Another story is the first monotheist (the test of Isaac). There was a father named Isaac Who was a believer of god. (Correction: The father was Abraham, the son was Isaac)Small mix up of names - Abraham was the father. One day god told Isaac to sacrifice one of his sons. Isaac took one of his sons to the top of a mountain and a angle from heaven came down to earth to tell Isaac that he didn't have to sacrifice his son and that it was a test. The Maccabees were a group that were warriors/soldiers. When the Greeks collinized the country they told everyone that they had to follow their religon or they will die. The Maccabees successfully fought back and Won! To celebrate they lit a oil lamp with all the oil in the Town (wich was enough to keep it lit for one night. But a miracle happened and it was now lit for eight days. These stories shaped the Jewish culture/religon that we know today.Strong concluding statement linking the story to culture.

In the Jewish life lots of stories and facts are helpful but some are more helpful than others. For example, the 10 commandment. This is a Story Of Moses. This When you read this story it explains to you that you Should always obey God and only worship him, no one else. Another story is the test Of Isaac. The story shows If you have faith in God you will do anything. This is because God made Abraham Sacrifice his son even though he is the only one they have.Good explanation of the difficulty of the test. It is important to know this story because for Jewish people if they remember this story about Abraham they would trust him more. At the End of the Story Abraham's son still survived. My last example is the ten plagues. This story shows that God can do anything for the right person. In the ten plagues Moses was there. This story is different from all the others it is more about Showing Jews what he could do so they could belive in him.

Storys from the past could help Jewish people understand their culture and religon as learning what happend before in the past could be helpful as you would get more knowledge on what you need to know. For example in Josephs story it teaches people to forgive and forget even if someone done something very bad.You correctly identified Joseph and the moral of his story (Forgiveness). Well done for not confusing him with Moses! As in the story his brothers were jelous of him So they through him in a well and then he ended up going prison then became king or phara or something related to that then his brothers begged for pigiveness. And also moses, The thero was mad that there were So much Jews and that he was gonna kill all new born babys, then moses saw an egyprion being beaten to death and he was angry so he killed the person then fled to the desert cause he wouldve been in loads of troble if anyone found out about what he had done. So moses story shows Jews to not run and hide from what the right thing is.Good moral interpretation of the story.

Stories from the past helps people understand their religion now a days because it's made a big change on the life of people and futer gens. this is because for example Abraham he showed to us to have faith on our god and things will go as planed. Moses, he shows to delieve on what you think is right (morality) and follow god's word this was shown by when God told Moses to go back to egpti and he did even though he didn't want to.Good use of the word 'Morality' and identification of Moses' obedience. Moses made a big change on how the Jewish were treated by the 10 commandments. Hanukkah (The Maccabees) showed that if you delived on your lord a mirical can happen this was showed by the lamp that was mean't to last 24 hrs and it lasted 8 days. All of this helps Jewish people understand their religion because it shows faith (Abraham) delived, listen (Moses) mirical (Hanukkah).

The past stories do help people understand their religon. This is due to the fact that they believe in the Macabees. The story is the Jews fought against the RomansCorrection: They fought the Greeks (Syrians), not the Romans. and beat them however they had lost almost all their oil lamps. Luckily they found an oil lamp, but it would only last for 1 day. Then a mirical happened, the oil lamp lasted for 8 day, which was enough time to get more oil lamps. They also believe in the 10 plagues and 10 command ments. The 10 plagues was when the pharoh enslaved the Jews and God sent the 10 plagues down on the pharoh, death of firstborn, fior infestation, red sea ect. The 10 commandments which are believe in God, don't kill, don't commit adultry and more.Good examples of the specific commandments. Overall, I believe that it depends on the type of Jew to see their strictness on religon if they are extremely religous or not very religous. It all depends on how religous they decide to be.

Stories from the past help Jewish people understand their religion today because of different events from stories that occur to different festivals and traditions. For example, the miracle of the oil influenced Hanukkah (Jewish festival) to make Jewish people every Hanukkah to light candles.Excellent clear link between story and practice. The miracle of the oil was when Jewish people needed some oil to last them 4 days... Suddenly, Magically, God made it work 8 days and Jewish people were saved. Another important story in the Torah (Jewish holy book) was when God sent the 10 plagues. Israelites were enslaved First of all, Moses killed an egyptian man who had killed an israel. He fled to the dessret... God sent the 10 plagues. The 10 plagues were deadly, and scared the egyptians away and the pharoah had no choice but to let the Israelites go. This has an important story in Judaism as it showed that God is on the side of good people, not bad people. Additionally, a story from the Torah which is about someones trust is the test of Isaac. A man named Abraham in Israel, a man named Abraham loved with his wife and son Isaac... One day, God asked him to sacrifise his child Isaac to show his loyalty to God. Even though Abraham loved his son very much, he decided to do it to show his trust towards God. God thanked him, and Jewish people liked this story really much because it shows someones loyalty, trust and respect towards God.You have identified the key values (loyalty/trust).

Stories from the past help Jewish people understand their religon by things like the story of Abraham which teaches them to trust their faith. It also teaches them about miracles and what their God has done. The story of Moses teaches them the 10 commandments and the 10 plagues that nearly destroyed Egypt. People like the Maccabees who fought and fought for what they believed in. How the people didn't have enough oil but somehow a miracle happend and the oil that they got lasted for 8 days instead. So just the things that shows anything can be possible and that miracles happen help the Jewish people understand their religon and how it goes back from centeries ago.Good summary of the impact of the stories (Hope/Possibility). You have to have trust in God, like Abraham who believed in God, so much he would've sacrificed his own son just to prove that he believed and he is a role modle to the Jewish religon. But also how Abraham was the true Monotheist for the Jewish religon. Like Moses, the great grandson of Abraham...

It helps them understand by giving them examples that God will test you so you have to be preaperd. An example of this is when God told Abraham to sacrifice his son (Isaac) but when Abraham was about kill his son a angel told him he should not kill him that he passed the test. This made Abraham the first monotheist.Correct use of the key term. Another story is when God set the 10 Plagues on Egypt after the Egyptian Pharoah didn't release the Israelite Slaves. Some of these Plagues were Locusts, Death of the first born boy and fire hail. This can help them understand by basically telling them to always listen to God.Simple but correct moral lesson. The Macabees are a team that came together to fight the Greeks of EgyptIt was the Greeks (Syrians), not Egypt. Egypt was the Moses story. at that time and won. They then celebrated by Setting oil on fire which was meant to last for one night but a miracle happened and it lasted for 8 days instead. This helps Jewish people by giving them more ideas on what makes God proud.

This helps jewish people that the good is for last like when the Israelites where enslaved and then the 10 plagues happened and they got their own land.This is the key point of the Exodus - the return to the Promised Land. This shows hard work and discipline.

The story The first monotheist (the test of Isaac) this can make The audience think to Trust God no matter what because he put his Son the One that Took so long to create UP for sacrifice. The story The 10 plagues: the exodus (Red Sea) this makes the audience feel like god can talk to them because in the book it says god Spoke To Moses through a burning bush.Interesting perspective on personal connection to God. The story: Hanukkah (The Maccabees) it can make The audience feel like God gave him Passion To go back for those in the Pharaohs prison To save Those That were captured by the Pharaoh and about when he saved that guy That Was getting beaten Up by those Israllites.Wait! You have listed this under "Hanukkah" but you are describing the story of Moses in Egypt. Hanukkah is about the Greeks and the Oil. The story of abraham can also make Peaple feel Proud of there religon for the past because abraham nearly abell To sacrifice his son for God's trust.
