The Jewish home is more sustaining Judaism than the synagogue. Do you agree?
This essay is giving an argument on both sides of the story for the home and for the synagogue on the subject which is more sustaining Judaism. Then I will give my opinion on which I prefer at sustaining Judaism.
Many Jews think that teaching in the home is very much more important than teaching at the synagogue for sustaining the Jewish faith and tradition. Although a lot of the Jews are taught at home and in the synagogue. Jewish families say that it is tradition to the family to teach their children the same way and things their ancestors taught them. Jews that say that the home is more sustaining have a busy life with doing work then coming home to teach their children the Jewish faith. What sort of things do the parents teach their children? The children have to be taught the importance of the Jewish dietary laws and they have to be so strict on what is kosher and the opposite treyfah and if in doubt should either call the help line or the Rabbi for any assistance. How to dress to a Jewish festivals wearing Jewish religion clothing such as the kippah etc. The children are also expected to keep their family tradition going through their generations to come. The children are also taught the religions of Judaism such as the Mitzvots and the bat chayil etc. The parents are also meant to look after their children and doing the obvious like feeding, clothing and caring for them. Jewish children are also meant to have an education of the torah (the holy book) such as learning the torah in Hebrew and learning the Jewish laws.
