The Haftorah Portion Of The Book Of Nehemiah, Chapter 8: Interpretive Analysis
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. If history did not repeat itself, we would not be equipped - as human beings or as a religion - to deal with the occurrences trying once again to unravel the thread of faith. Revisiting the Haftorah from Nehemiah Chapter 8 on this holiest of days, we are reminded that from suffering comes strength and from strength comes rebirth. There is perhaps no greater alliance of people who have experienced this lesson time and time again than the Jews, which we have both embraced and anguished over at the same time as we rise to the challenge of continuing forward as a cultural faction. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The Hajj
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj from a religious and modern perspective. The Hajj (Al-Hajj) is an obligatory pilgrimage for Muslims to Makkah (Mecca) in Saudi Arabia during the month of Hajj, Dhul Hijjah. Hajj is the Fifth Pillar of Islam and is therefore a requirement of all Muslims who are capable of making the journey. The Umrah is an optional lesser pilgrimage which can be performed any time during the year for those who are not able to perform the Hajj. Al-Hajj takes place over five days from the 8th to the 13th days of Dhul Hijjah. The term “Hajj” literally means “a resolve” such as “to resolve to some magnificent duty” and it is considered as “the realization of Prophet Abraham’s Prayer”. The commitment to the Hajj is not an easy one as pilgrims must be physically, mentally and financially be able to make the journey and complete the five days of strict rituals. Despite the complexity of the Hajj, over 2 million Muslims make the pilgrimage each year and are supported by the citizens of Mecca and the country of Saudi Arabia which continues to update the city to accommodate more pilgrims. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
