  • Rabbi Kusner defines the goal of Judaism to "bring God into the world."
  • They are supposed to do this by "sanctifying ordinary events and by helping people to become fully human through their relatedness to others" (Publisher's Weekly).
  • Jews believe that both God and people have obligations to each other.
  • Covenant = a promise.


  • How is Judaism related to Christianity?
  • Do Christians have the same goals as Jews?
  • Do Jews believe in the afterlife?

  1. Hi Jill! You made some good points here, such as descrbing relgious facts that the Jews believe in. Honestly, I don't really have anything that I disagree with becasue I don't know a lot about this topic. This post helped me understand the Jewish religion better, describing facts and explaining meanings that the people who are Jewish believe in. You may want to compare different religions to each other in your end paper! Your post made me realize different religious standpoints and facts about the Jewish relgion. You might want to add a little bit more information! Great job!
