Judaism: Monotheism, Religious Texts, and Modern Adaptations

Discussion Prompt: Discuss your understanding and views concerning the monotheism of Judaism. Detail in what ways does Judaism’s belief in a single God make it different from other major religions? Also, Identify the Torah and Talmud, and discuss what role they have and continue to play in shaping Jewish religious practices and legal traditions. Lastly, pinpoint ways in which Judaism has modernized and adapted its traditions, beliefs, and practices in changing times. Discuss why this is/may be important, accepted by some, and rejected by others. Your Initial Discussion Posts are due Friday by 11:59pm Remember that all students of online courses are responsible for participating in weekly discussion forums. All posts are to be completed in the Blackboard discussion forum section. Initial posts should be a reflection containing a minimum of 250 words. In addition to posting an initial reflection, the learner is expected to respond to a minimum of three posts from three classmates. Responses should be meaningful and add depth to the dialogue. Responses should be posted by Sunday by 11:59 PM. In addition to responding to your classmate’s post, please respond to the response of your classmates on your initial post. The purpose of the assignment is discussion and not simply minimum posting. Discussion establishes social presence, attendance, contact hours for class. Be an active participant in the discussion.
