The Jewish home is more important in sustaining Judaism than the synangogue. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.
In my essay I have been asked to decide if the jewish home is more important in sustaining judaism than the synagogue.
In my own opinion, I think that the home has more importance than the synagoue, when sustaining judaism.
Some people may not agree with me because they suggest that the synagogue is more important in sustaining judaism. People may think that it is more important because there is a rabbi available who many be able to adivse and assit with any quieriers they have. Its not just a Rabbi you could go to, to seek advice, there is a number of people who you could talk to or who could talk to you or who could educate you in certain matters. A further reason is because the synagogue has more features and objects, for example the Torah Scrolls, the holyest item in the synagogue, they contain the words of God. The torah scrolls are stored in the ark which most people would'nt have at home, the ark faces in the direction of the ancient temple in Jerusualam. Also the synagogue has a bimah, the desk on which the Rabbi reads readings of the Torah Scrolls from. In addition many festivals are held at the synangoue. Such as rosh hashanah, Simchat torah. On yom kippur some jews may spend the full day there.
