Jewish Heritage

For institute we have been studying world religions. I have always been fascinated with the Jewish culture so Robert and I went to the Jewish Heritage museum at the tip of the island. It was really cool! They have an exhibit where you sit in a room overlooking the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island while listen to the stories of Jews immigrating to the United States.



This last weekend we went to a Jewish Seder put on by our stake. I am really impressed with their traditions and customs and appreciate the values they stand for.

I need to come to your institute, I am so ignorant about other world religions. Jewish traditions confuse me and I just don't understand why they do what they do. I would love to study more about it! So far I've just read some wikipedia articles, haha. That museum looks really cool.
