After centuries of distrust, persecution, and hatred between Jews and Christians, this healing is very new and will take time to complete. For most of our shared history, Christians have believed that the Jews were doomed because we didn't accept Jesus as God. The theme of The Covenant was that God made a covenant first with the Jews, and that God does not break his covenants. The beginning and the ending scenes echoed the reality of this in a striking way. In the opening scene, Abraham is being commanded by God to leave his home and travel to a land that God would give him. He was to leave behind his father and mother and everything familiar, and go to an unknown place. In the ending scene, we see Abraham flanked by Moses on one side, holding the stone tablets of the law, and on the ot...

As a leading researcher in this field, Pargament (1997) makes reference to the transactional model of stress and coping (Lazarus & [Folkman], 1984) as a potential point of departure for understanding and organizing research on religiosity and spirituality. Notably, he has focused on the process of religious coping behaviour with some additional emphasis on religious appraisals or attributions in response to various life stressors (e.g., Pargament & Hahn, 1986; [Mahoney, Pargament], Koenig, & Perez, 2000). Pargament continues to expand the application of these religious and spiritual domains in the coping process, most recently addressing the importance of spiritual attachment (connection) to God as a key factor in driving the religious coping process (Belavich & Pargamen...

It was a profound epiphany for me," says [Wendy Graff], who serves as volunteer director for the $100,000 project. "I just could not believe that my daughter who carried this Torah would not be allowed to write it. "Our intention was to have one person scribe it, because that's the model," says Graff, explaining how a Torah is traditionally produced. "(But women) are communityminded. All of a sudden, it just made sense (to do it in a group) and women are becoming Torah scribes." "Really, it is holy work, so we had to work together so it works for every scribe and every artist and our community so the end result is a Torah we're all comfortable with," says Graff, who describes her role in the project as "chief nudger."

It makes me feel connected to the Jewish people," Miriam Gray, a 30-year-old member of Temple Shalom in Colorado Springs, Colo., said during a class break. As with all languages, Hebrew and English have evolved over time. This presents a challenge to new Hebrew readers. "Just like how the English of Shakespeare is not the English of Hemingway, the Hebrew of Genesis is considerably different from the Hebrew of Deuteronomy," said Rabbi Don Levy of Temple Beit Torah, who is teaching the class. "Look, it is not going to lead anybody terribly astray, but it is not an accurate translation," Levy said. "But there are differences. When you translate, you by necessity interpret.

I have listened to others read from the Torah for over seven decades," said [Norma Medoff]. "When I got the chance to open the Torah and read my portion, I knew that I had reached a milestone I never imagined I would. "I thought my life was over, but that's when I started giving bar mitzvah lessons," he said. "It does keep you young. That's like drinking from the fountain of youth." "You're 83 and you feel young again. You're 13," he said. "It's a wonderful feeling."
