Jewish Life in the Diaspora as ora We live in a non-Jewish society . Our neighbors , the shop owners , the bus drivers , our friends at work , and the people with whom we spend much of our time are not Jewish . This is why we establish communities to meet our special needs . 1 Jewish community centers and synagogues Many Jews belong to a Jewish community center or synagogue and attend activities there . While some of the activities relate to Judaism , others are more general . Jewish community centers , like synagogues , enable Jews to meet other Jews and socialize together . List two examples of activities mentioned in the French Jewish newspaper that take place in a Jewish community center or synagogue . 2 Jewish stores Many Jewish communities have “ Jewish stores” which sell goods catering to the needs of the Jewish community . Why do you think regular stores don’t sell more Jewish products ? Read the ads in the French Jewish newspaper and list four products that are usually sold only in Jewish stores . 3 It’s all about the children ... Many Jewish communities have set up educational institutions to provide children with a Jewish education . Read the ad for the Jewish day school Gamliel and “ Apple and Dates” , the article about the Hebrew school , Magen David ( p . 34 ) . Do you go to a Jewish day school or a Hebrew school ? Why do you think your parents decided to send you there ? Suggest reasons why some parents would decide to send their children to the other type of Jewish school .
