What role does tradition play in a person's identity? How important is it to the person they are or become? Do you have any family traditions that are important to you?
The basic definition of tradition is: the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc. from generation to generation, especially by word of mouth or by practice.
Today, your task is to research some of the traditions of the Jewish people. We want to discover the importance of tradition to one's personal identity. Here are your requirements:
1. In your group, choose one of the following terms to research. Make sure everyone in the group
has a different term:
a. Kabbalah/Jewish Mysticism
b. Rabbi
c. Zohar
d. the Passover
2. Each person in your group will write a half page summary on a sheet of paper for the term they
have. When your group is finished, share what you found.
3. Discuss the following question afterwards and write the answer your group comes up with on your
sheet of paper: How would these traditions affect a Jewish person's personal identity?
It don't mean that you never had a religion, it just means that you hit a rough bump in the road, and the first thing you did was drop your religion. Many because you felt it was your religious leader/god who has done it to you.
