Episode 6: Tradition and Realities
The ancient Babylonians created the time unit of a seven-day week, and the ancestors of the Jew selected one day to be the Sabbath, and specified in the first Jewish law that this day should be declared a day of rest.
The profile of the menorah is an ancient sign of the Jewish nation and can be seen almost everywhere in today's Israel, from the national emblem to local people's daily life. The Jewish civilization has survived for almost two thousand years despite the prolonged period of time when they had no territory and suffered severe persecution. This should be attributed to the Jew's loyalty to their traditions. The national will of Jews is reflected through their festivals, weddings and other important events.
