I had readings from various sources to go with my introductions. I also had a potted history of the Zionist movement from Herzl to 1948 in the booklet - remember, it was meant for non-Jewish students who knew little or nothing about it. So I may post that as a blog, under the title Zionism 101 or similar. It might be of interest to some people.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-26234150414179442522010-08-10T22:43:50.362+10:002010-08-10T22:43:50.362+10:00Daphne - this is scholarly.

A great introduction to Jews' connection with the Land and its primacy for Jews.<br /><br />This should be compulsive reading for anyone who is fooled by the revisionists who seek to create a Holocaust of Jewish history, belief, philosophy, culture and ethics.<br /><br />I have one small quibble. The Second Temple was built after the return from the Babylonian Exile. Herod demolished much of that temple and rebuilt and expanded it. The temple destroyed by the Romans was the third building on the site but is still considered the Second Temple because the rituals and sacrifices were continuous throughout the period.<br /><br />Another interesting point is that many Orthodox Jews believe that with the coming of Moshiach (the Messiah) all synagogues throughout the world will be miraculously transported to Eretz Israel. An interesting and poetic concept.Ray Cookhttp://www.raymondcook.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-32370852118925996052010-08-10T21:04:31.123+10:002010-08-10T21:04:31.123+10:00Many thanks for the encouragement, Stuart - of cou...Many thanks for the encouragement, Stuart - of course you may post that to your blog. I'm always happy for you to do that.<br />I prepared this piece many years ago for a class of non-Jewish students in Australia, and the sources I used were all Jewish. So I really can't answer your question - someone more learned in comparative religion than I am might hopefully be able to do so.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-9798786797940947982010-08-10T20:46:26.756+10:002010-08-10T20:46:26.756+10:00Fascinating, really enjoyed this piece and learnt ...Fascinating, really enjoyed this piece and learnt a lot.<br /><br />I noticed this phrase:<br /><br /><i>Temple will descend at Jerusalem ready-made from heaven</i><br /><br />Is this not more Christian than jewish thought. I only ask as we see this most clearly in the book of Revelation and so I'm wondering if there is other scripture that alludes to this event.<br /><br />I'll put up the first couple of para's on our blog and link to the rest of this if that's OK.Stuarthttp://blog.echurchwebsites.org.uk/noreply@blogger.com
