Hi ! My religion class is studying Judaism. Everyone was assigned a term, and I happened to get Shabbat. I understand, it is a day of revelation, and resting( and how God rested on the seventh day of creation), and a day of many prayers, but I don't know much more. I was wondering if you could tell me about who,why, how and where it orginated from. If you would kindly, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you.

hello,i am awaiting my interview with the bet din to convert to reform judaism what should i expect? also, are there any good books you could recommend for me to read to get a good solid grasp of judaism? thanks and hag samach

I am in the very early stages of converting to Judaism ... my question is about attending services. Are there particular services (especially shabbat services) that it is inappropriate for a future convert to attend? I.E. those that are only for attendance by those who are already memebers of the community. I truly enjoy attending shabbat services but have been limiting how often I go for fear of showing up at one I dont "belong" at - any advice would be appreciated.

My father is jewish. I am now 42-years-old and an devout Roman Catholic. I have 6 children and I would like for them to be exposed to their Jewish heritage. I would like to take them to High Services this week. I have not been to High Services since I was in College and wouldn't know how to get invited and participate.

The books of Moses describe sacrifices of livestock, produce and wine made at the Temple. Why don't Jews practice sacrifice now? Is it because there's no great central Temple? If there ever is one again, will sacrifice be reinstituted there? In the absense of such a sin-cleansing ritual, what is the mechanism by which a modern Jew can have the dirt of sin removed? Thanks for your response.
