Video: Chinese documentary on Israel, Part 6 of 12
Here's Part 6 of that Chinese documentary on Israel.Episode 6: Tradition and RealitiesLet's go to the videotape.
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.

I am surprised that the Chinese believe that Jewish civilization has only been in existence for less than 2000 yrs. They must believe that it began in Roman times. They must be unaware of the Hebrew bible, the Torah, and must be under the misconception that Judaism began after the death of Jesus. Someone should tell the authors of this TV series about Jewish history and its relation to the Land of Israel.
Jewish civilization and Judaism are not less than 2,ooo yrs, but more than 3500 yrs old.
Untue. Judaism and the Jewish people are 3500 yrs old, at a minimum.shebrace
