What feast did Hannah and Elkanah go to year after year?
It wasn't a feast. It was a sacrifice.
1 Samuel 1
3 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD.
According to Leviticus 3, you could make sacrifices at any time, to ask something in prayer.
When you offer sacrifices to ask my blessing, you may offer either a bull or a cow, but there must be nothing wrong with the animal.
What conflicts are caused by zionism in the middle east?
Zionism is one of numerous causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Zionism is the philosophy that the Jewish people should have a nation-state just like the German people, Turkish people, Greek people, and so on. Without Zionism, there would be no State of Israel, and hence any conflicts associated with that state would not exist. However, the mere existence of the State of Israel does not cause conflict; the existence combined with its rejection by its neighbors for various reasons.
What important idea are the ancient Hebrews credited for starting?
The concept of having a week composed of 7 days, may be a Hebrew invention.
Answer 2
Monotheism, the Ten Commandments, the Torah and the Prophets.
Judaism is egalitarian and values all individuals, both men and women. The wealthy have no privileges; and the poor are valued, treated well and their opinions listened to. (Compare this to those societies in which only mature, land-owning males had any legal status.)
Judaism applied laws, and rules of moral behavior, to all its members equally. The laws of Moses form much of Western legal background.
Quote:
"I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation ... fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations" (John Adams, 2nd President of the United States).
"Certainly, the world without the Jews would have been a radically different place. Humanity might have eventually stumbled upon all the Jewish insights, but we cannot be sure. All the great conceptual discoveries of the human intellect seem obvious and inescapable once they had been revealed, but it requires a special genius to formulate them for the first time. The Jews had this gift. To them we owe the idea of equality before the law, both Divine and human; of the sanctity of life and the dignity of human person; of the individual conscience and of collective conscience, and social responsibility" (Paul Johnson, Christian historian, author of A History of the Jews and A History of Christianity).
According to Jewish tradition are Judaism and Zoroastrianism connected?
Since the two groups lived side by side in Babylonia, there may have been some borrowing in language or other minor matters. But in terms of beliefs, the two are quite different.
Judaism, according to tradition, has always been monotheistic. Even at the height of the unfortunate spread of idolatry among the less-loyal Ten Tribes, there were thousands who remained loyal to God (1 Kings 19:18).
The Zoroastrians, however, believed in two gods, not one. The Jewish Sages who redacted the Talmud in the early centuries of the Common Era lived in Babylonia, witnessed the practices of the Zoroastrians, and recorded this fact (Talmud, Sanhedrin 39a). In addition, Zoroastrianism is unlike Judaism in that:
its deity is not immanent
it believes in worship through intermediaries, who are themselves "worthy of worship"
evil has its own creator, Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, which had always existed
Why did Hitler hate Jews so much and would he have killed you and your family?

What challenges did the Israelites face when they returned to Canaan?
The Canaanites were by that time in full possession of the land (see Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:6). They had at least 150 fortified cities and towns. They were war-like, and would band together against the Israelites in battle (Joshua 9:2); and they would be fighting on their own turf, with which they were more familiar than the Israelites. They had a population that exceeded the number of the Israelites (Deuteronomy 7:17).In addition, the Israelites as yet had no permanent homes, or stockpiled weapons. Also, the camp that they set up at Gilgal included their wives and children and would be vulnerable.

How have the Germans compensated for their wrongdoings to the Jews?
Germans have a number of standing laws and edicts enacted by the West German Government in the late 1940s and 1950s concerning Jewish property and the State of Israel. Germany gives Israel a set reparations payment every year and exports to them additional German products such as automobiles and electronics at subsidized prices. In addition, Germany has set up a collections fund to provide individual reparation payments to Jewish families that request reparations subject to general proof of loss.
The German people as a nation have, for the first time in any country, taken on a national sense of guilt and remorse for the actions of the Holocaust and have politically done everything in their power to preserve the memory of those acts by saving former synagogues, collecting former Jewish property for exhibitions and compensations (upon request), and building innumerable museums and memorials to the Holocaust. No other nation in history that committed genocide has ever gone as far out of their way to atone for that sin as Germany.

Why didn't people like the Jews in 1888?
The terms "religious antisemitism" and "anti-Judaism" are sometimes used to refer to animosity towards Judaism as a religion rather than to Jews defined as an ethnic or racial group. Antisemitism is prejudice .against or hostility towards Jews. But a person obviously cannot be held responsible for what some distant ancestor did almost 20 centuries ago. The persecution persecution of Jews for the past 2,000 years of Jews for the past 2,000 years has been a serious issue.
In 1888, such perceptions were strengthened when a series of vicious and grotesque crimes like the Jack the ripper muders seemed to implicate a Jew or Jews in England. The news quckly spread to the United States and other countries.
Why the history of Babylon is important to Jewish History?
The Babylonians destroyed the First Temple and exiled the Jews.
A Jewish community numbering in (at least) hundreds of thousands lived and flourished in Babylonia for over 1500 years, with autonomy under the Exilarch and with some of the greatest of all Yeshivot and sages.
When did the number of Jews decrease?
This happened several times in history. However, the most recent and largest decrease in the number of Jews occurred during World War II, when the Holocaust claimed the lives of 6 million European Jews.
How did the land of Israel affect Jewish history?
The experiences of the Israelites in the Holy Land reflected their relationship with God. When they obeyed God, the Land was fertile and peaceful. When they began disobeying Him, the Land vomited them out and lost its fertility (Leviticus 26).
The Patriarchs and their family lived in the land of Israel (Canaan) for 220 years. The era from Joshua until the First Destruction (including the Judges and Kings) was 850 years. The Second Temple era was, according to traditional chronology, another 420 years (not 586), which included the Hasmonean dynasty. That's a total of 1490 years.
After the Second Destruction, there were thousands of Jews who remained in Israel (Judea; Palestine) throughout the Talmudic era and beyond (see for example the Talmud, Sanhedrin 17b). They were the majority of Palestine's population well into the fourth century, with records attesting to at least 43 Jewish communities, most of them in the Galilee and Jordan valley. After that, there were still Yeshivas in Israel with at least some thousands of community-members.
According to the biblical account, much of which is impossible to verify in the archaeological record until late in the monarchial period, Jewish history begins with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who considered Canaan (an area comprising present-day Israel and the West Bank) their home.
How many men named Jesus in Jewish history?
The name Jesus is the Greek form of 'Joshua', but the Greek form is only used in the Bible when referring to Jesus Christ. Joshua is one of the most common names in the entire Bible, but always as a great leader or high priest.
Of course, we have Joshua, son of Nun, who is reported to have conquered the Canaanites. There were also Joshua the Bet-Shemite and Joshua, governor of the city of Jericho (2 Kings chapter 23). Later, Zechariah had apocalyptic visions, in which Joshua the high priest had been found guilty of iniquity, but the Lord needed Joshua and was willing to offer him inducements and honour.
Interestlingly, the Bible says that the high priest Joshua, son of Jozadak or Josedec (Joseph), assisted Zorobabel in rebuilding the Temple following the Return from Exile of the Jews. In the list of Israelites that returned from the Babylonian Exile, Ezra also records that a Joshua was head of the priestly family of Phahath Moab, while another was head of the priestly family of Idaia, or Jedaia. This is an improbably high proportion of heads of priestly families who were called Joshua, yet no other person listed, not even anyone's father, was called Joshua. Either the name Joshua was quite common at the time of the Return, or it was not, and there could be statistical evidence in the Bible that the name Joshua (Jesus) already had important religious associations.
What is the diffrence between a jewish ghetto and a nazi ghetto?
The term "Nazi ghetto" is misleading. Nazis were not placed in a ghetto, but rather this is a term to refer to the "ghettos for Jews built by the Nazis" in comparison to the historic Jewish ghettos throughout Europe.
One of the fundamental differences between Jewish ghettos prior to the 19th century and those instituted by the Nazis was the size. The Nazi ghettos were larger in physical area, but denser in terms of population (because Jews from the countryside were pushed into the city ghettos).
A more noticeable difference was that the Nazi ghettos were completely sealed off from the rest of the city. While historic ghettos sometimes had curfews, during the day Jews could usually leave, do business, and generally interact with Non-Jews. Since the point of the Nazi ghettos was to quarantine the Jews from the rest of the population, they were unable to ever leave the ghetto. Concrete Walls and fences were erected in order to lock the Jews in and these were monitored by Nazi German soldiers.
Another difference was the leadership structure of the ghetto. The historic ghettos were given license by the Christian Kings to self-organize as long as they paid taxes and punished crimes perpetrated against Christians. This meant that the Kahal (Board of Trustees of the Jewish Community) made laws and helped organize the area. In the Nazi ghettos, the Nazis created a mockery of the Kahal called the Judenrat which was a council of Jews responsible for implementing Nazi policy within the ghetto and submitting lists of names for deportation to the Death Camps. The lack of Jewish autonomy and set up for the Holocaust are also key differences.
What are the similarities among Pan-Slavism Pan-Arabism and Zionism?

How were Muslims and Jews treated in Spain during the Golden Age?
If you are referring to the Golden Age of Islamic Spain (800s-1000s), the Muslims were in power at that time, so they treated themselves quite well. The Jews and Christians were treated as second-class citizens in what would today be called apartheid, but what was at that time rather tolerant.
