Tour: Jewish Life and Traditions

• What does "kosher" mean?
• Is artificial light allowed on Shabbat?
• Why are Jewish men circumcised?

Judaism's manifold answers to these questions will be explained and illustrated by themes such as the dietary laws, Shabbat, and the life cycle of religious Jews from birth to burial. These will not only concentrate on the traditions which have been handed down but also on how they have changed over the course of the centuries.
