This article connects to what we've recently been discussing in class because it's a good example of there's different ways to interpret things. This shows this because most modern day graffiti is interpreted as disrespectful while the graffiti used by Jewish people in ancient times was respectful and we can learn things from studying them.

Three things a learned while reading the artical were:
1, graffiti was not used as discrepect but respect on the churches
2. People didnt only graffiti churches. they graffitied any holy place that had meaning to it.
3. The middle class members where the ones how mainly did the graffiti.

It connects with what we have been discussing because we have been learning about ways people interpreted old Religious writings, and these graffities were made with the Jewish religion in mind. People analyze and interpret these graffiti images and writings just like they do in other old writings.

the article connects with what we have been doing lately because these researchers all have a different way of interpreting this graffiti. In today's world we would be against such things, but back then for Jews it was different. At first we misinterpreted the graffiti for something bad.

Three things I have lerarned fom the article is:

- The graffiti helps explore the lives of the middle class and lower classes of the jewish people to make their daily life a little more clear

This connects to what we are learning in class because archaeologists are using this graffiti to figure out their questions about jewish writing. This is similar to historical criticism which is used to figure out more of what the world and people were like at the time.

2. Some of their writings included messages in different languages.
3. These writings can prove to change how we may think of Jews

This article relates to what we have been learning because we have been talking about how to interpret it and understand it and this shows that with different languages, it shows more interest in what the messages can mean

# data[].attributes.body
Three things I learned from the article are:
-Jews, Christians, and Muslims coexisted.
-Jewish graffiti was viewed in a much better light than graffiti is today
-Many historians don't regard the graffiti with any big historical significance.
This is connected to we are doing in class because in the article, it talks about how much knowledge of Jewish history is mostly from people who were higher up on the social structure. This kind of resembles a fundamentalistic approach because the knowledge of Jewish history would then really only be one sided and not considerate of the whole picture like a literal approach would.

# data[].attributes.headline
Three things that I found were that Jewish graffiti was viewed in a better light than graffiti is today, plebians were the first to to use graffiti, and most people don't look towards graffiti as a significant difference.
