For Jews, many prayers and teachings are encouraged to be memorized. Many Jewish children go to Hebrew school and temple on Sunday. Their education is culminated at a Bar or Bat Mitzvah when they are thirteen and can finally fully join the community as a Jewish adult. Jews also celebrate many different holidays to reflect on their ancestor’s history or to create new resolutions. Passover, the most important holiday promotes the story of Moses and how he and his followers were able to escape slavery. Some other holidays include Hanukkah and Rosh Hashanah (Judaism). Lastly, Christians are usually baptized as a baby, which allows them to join the Christian community. People congregate on Sundays for prayers and traditionally eat bread and wine, which was Jesus’s last meal (Esler 170). Some important holidays for Christians include Christmas and Easter. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus and Easter recognizes the day Jesus was resurrected (Christianity). To conclude, if a debate surfaces, I suggest you bring some of these commonalities to the table. Hopefully your guests will realize the similarities between the three different monotheistic faiths, causing a communal and united dinner.
