according to Mosaic law

era developed from Mosaic law

Possible learning activities
Talk about law, how it is made (by councils and

sort of things it cannot cover (e.g. what you are thinking);
read and talk about aspects of Mosaic law (Lev. 19.9-18)
seeing how individual life, community life and national
life were affected by it. Notice that it covered the
upbringing of children, stipulated people you could not
marry (Gen. 24.3; Jg 14.3) and what you could eat.
Talk about the foods children like and dislike (why do
some people have different tastes?); talk about diets (for
health reasons, for slimming); read Lev. 11 to learn about
the foods forbidden to the Israelites; discuss the ban on
pork for contemporary observant Jews; talk about hair
cuts (Lev. 19.27), tattoos (Lev. 1928) and show pictures
of Hasidic Jews; briefly consider Jewish festivals (e.g.
Hanukah); indicate that the whole of life was covered by
Mosaic law.
Learn about the way in which David became king,
brought the Ark to Jerusalem and prepared to build a
temple.
Show pictures/models of the temple of Solomon and

Look at the Bible passages dealing with its construction
(1 Kg 6); consider the temple as a focus for life and faith;
show how the temple would have dominated Jerusalem
and was one of the wonders of its day (what was the
biggest building in Wales at the time?); read about its
destruction (Jer. 52.13f); talk about the Jewish
communities in exile worshipping without a place of
worship; if it is appropriate, draw comparisons with
modern refugees who reconstruct their lives a long way
from home; think about the early Christians and how they
worshipped.
Talk briefly about the Talmud as a commentary on the
Torah; illustrate this with pictures of the biblical text
surrounded by Talmudic commentaries.
Alternatively, show the interpretation of the Torah in
changing circumstances made the law bigger and bigger
and more and more complicated so that only specialists
(e.g. rabbis) could understand it.
Illustrate this idea by showing how rules tend to become
more detailed or complex depending on different
circumstances
Show how some Muslim festivals are linked with the life
of Muhammad (e.g. it was during Ramadan that the
Qur’an was first received).
Show pictures of Mecca and mosques; handle Islamic
