Due to the restrictions of face-to-face interactions, let’s just stay at home (in-house) or go virtual for your interview activity
(whichever is applicable to you). Gather data about your respondents’ prior knowledge on Judaism beliefs and practices. For in-house
interview, your respondents could be your parents, sister, brother, or other members in your family available for this purpose. For
virtual interview, your respondents can be your friends, schoolmates, teachers, religious people or random people from your friend’s list
willing to take part on this activity. Ask them about what belief and practices do they know about Judaism. Remind them to be honest
about their answers; you should not worry about getting “None” as response from the respondents. Then, accomplish the following
matrix to consolidate your data gathered.

LAS 1.5 ESSAY

Read the following short story taken from the Old Testament; Book of Genesis, Chapters 17-21. After reading, kindly reflect
and make an essay on the following question:

What do you think is the moral of the story? How do you intend to apply this in your real-life experiences?
 Abraham’s Covenant
Abraham is known across the world as the Father of Nations, but there was once a time when Abraham thought he would never have
any children.
There was once a faithful man of God who worked hard and was blessed by God. Sadly, the one thing he did not have was a child. He
longed for a son, and when the Lord promised to make him the father of many nations, Abram was happy and waited for his promised child.
However, years went by and his wife Sarai still did not give him a son.
In an attempt to take things into her own hands, Sarai convinced Abram to marry her maidservant Hagar, who was from Egypt. Abram
did so, and Hagar became pregnant with a son. When the child was born, he was called Ishmael.
This was not the child of promise, for the Lord promised that a son would be born to Sarai, and that He would bless Abram through
him. One day, three men visited Abram, who showed them great hospitality. These men were actually God and His angels who came in disguise.
They told
Abram that by the same time next year, Sarai would have a son. Sarai laughed, as she thought she was much too old to have a child. The Lord
also gave Abram and Sarai new names, and from then they were known as Abraham and Sarah, for Sarah means “Princess”, and she would be
the mother of many nations.
The Lord kept His promise, and at the same time next year, a son was born to Sarai. They named him Isaac, which means laughter
because Sarah had laughed when she was told she would have a son.
