When discussing religions, we need to be respectful and non judgmental.
We study religion because it was an important part of peoples’ daily lives, not
to influence you.
Remember: many different religions are represented all around us (even in this
room) so be thoughtful of others during our discussions!
Before we begin…

The fertile crescentThe Fertile Crescent
Mesopotamia" or "Place Between Rivers"--was the name the ancients gave the lands bordering the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In recent centuries, it became known as the "Cradle of Civilization," because the two waterways allowed one of the world's earliest civilizations, the Sumerian, to come into being. Without these rivers, the
early advances made in that area, which is today southern Iraq, would not have been possible. In the millennia that followed and right into the present, the rivers have
continued to play a key role in the daily life of all subsequent civilizations that grew up around them.
Water Makes It PossibleBy definition, civilization is a form of human culture in which people live in urban
centers and have developed a method of writing. Thus, a civilization, ancient or modern, involves cities--that is, places where large populations live together. Such
communal living, however, is not possible without a steady supply of water. But rain is scarce in the Middle East. So, the people have had to rely on rivers, streams, and
lakes for their water.A flowing river means a constant stream of fresh water. During rainy seasons, rivers
flood and bring rich new soil that is good for agriculture. Rivers are also places of abundance, supporting many species of edible plants and animals. In the desert-rich region of the Middle East, people have traditionally gathered around the few water sources available--a situation that encouraged the creation of cities in Mesopotamia.
Based on the information in the text, lets create a chart to list review vs. new information on the Fertile CrescentJudaism
