As of 2001, Orthodox Jews and Jews affiliated with an Orthodox synagogue accounted for approximately 50% of British Jews (150,000), 26.5% of Israeli Jews (1,500,000), and 13% of American Jews. (529,000) Orthodox Judaism is considered by its adherents to be the only true expression of Jewish tradition. Observing Jewish law is far more important to Orthodox Jews than to other Jews. In fact, nearly eight-in-ten Orthodox Jews (79%) say observing Jewish law is “essential” to what being Jewish means to them, compared with just 19% among Jews overall. ]]> 2016-11-05 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135567102 lejones8592 https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135567322 The roots of Orthodox Judaism can be traced to the late 18th or early 19th century. Many Jews in Germany rejected claims of the absolute divine authorship of the Torah, declaring only biblical laws concerning ethics to be binding, and stated that the rest of halakha (Jewish law) need not be viewed as normative for Jews in wider society. In response to Reform Judaism, a group of traditionalist German Jews emerged to support the values of the Haskalah, also know as the Jewish Enlightenment.
It was the modern 'progressive' Jews who first applied this name to 'old', 'backward' Jews as a derogatory term. This name was at first resented by 'old' Jews. And rightly so. ]]> 2016-11-05 20:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135567322 lejones8592 https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135567325

Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals. 

Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law. 

All blood must be drained from meat and poultry or broiled out of it before it is eaten. 

Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten. 

Fruits and vegetables are permitted, but must be inspected for bugs (which cannot be eaten) 

Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat). 

Utensils (including pots and pans and other cooking surfaces) that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot. 

Grape products made by non-Jews may not be eaten. 

There are a few other rules that are not universal.

Students may be absent because of religious holidays or holy days. You should discuss with your administration if there should be some leeway with these students when determining awards for attendance.
2. Physical Education Uniforms
Many administrators are concerned that if they allow one student to wear different clothes, this will open the door to other student requests. We need to be open to the family's needs.
3. Religious Holidays Celebrated at School
Have an open-dialogue with the family to understand their own beliefs and opinions. This dialogue will need to continue throughout the course of the year. Just because you may know some information about the religion, does not mean you know that family's school expectations. Never assume, always ask.]]> 2016-11-05 21:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135568946 lejones8592 https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135569573 I wish that I had known about all of the dietary rules. I had no idea that they were that extensive. This will definitely be helpful when planning class events that involve food. I also wish I has thought more about absences for religious reasons. I don't believe those absences should count against you when it comes to awards day. This may sound like a tiny issue, but awards day is very important to many students. ]]> 2016-11-05 21:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135569573 lejones8592 https://padlet.com/lejones8592/cluon7y4pfql/wish/135569578 Everything You Need to Know About Orthodox Jews.
