ReplyDeleteIf something is orthodox that means it is believed to be the right or true belief. A mitzvah is a spiritual duty. The Na Nach's worship the way they do because joy is at the center of their religious living. Gabriella Wernick is a witness of the booming stereo red light dance and joined in because of the good vibes. Magid believes that the Na Nach's help create understanding for the two groups. There would be a postive effect from this story and it would create the pathos or pathetic appeal.
1. To live only by the religion and it is the right belief.
ReplyDelete2. Their spiritual duty.
3. To have a happy and more personal connection/relationship with God.
4. A person who happen to be in the area as the Na Nachs started dancing.
5. It allows to have exposure to the traditional side because the Na Nachs will never have contact with the ultra community.
6. I believe that is would appeal to the logical and ethical side. Because, it would show that there is a religion that can worship and praise their god in a happy manner rather then a "pro violence" type of manner.

ReplyDeleteBeing Orthodox means that someone lives strictly by the teachings of his or her religion. Mitzvah is a spiritual duty. Also, the Na Nachs worship the way they do because they believe that happiness is the key to a close relationship with God, therefore they do things that bring happiness to themselves and others. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby who found the good vibes of the Na Nachs to be contagious. She is also a Secular Jew. The Na Nachs' responsibility when it comes to the relationship between "religious" and "secular" Jews is to provide an understanding between them. This story would create an ethical appeal because it convnices readers of the character of the Na Nachs.
1. It is established or customary.
ReplyDelete2. A mitzvah is a commandment.
3.They don't want it to feel like the main point of their religion is following a bunch of rules. They want you to connect with love and happiness.
4. A passerby that found the Na Nachs dancing on the streets contagious.
5. Magid thinks the Na Nachs will create understand between them and the secular Jews and give them "a breath of fresh air".
6. It would create a complete parallel between the subjects but could possibly explain why the Na Nachs have begun to get more popularity, seeing that happiness is greatly needed in the world. It would probably create a more logical appeal.

Orthodox in Judaism is a sort of norm, it is Judaism that is open to modernistic culture. A mitzvah is a spiritual duty. The Na Nachs worship Judaism by simply being happy and making others happy, they do this because they believe it is their spiritual duty to do so. Gabriella Wernick is a civilian who has experienced the "good vibes" of the Na Nachs. Magid, a Na Nach believes that the responsibility of the Na Nach is to create an understanding between the secular and traditional Jewish faiths. If the story of the Na Nachs were juxtaposed with a story of the reoccurring violence in Jerusalem it may create an ethical appeal of the people making them believe in the cause of the Na Nachs and making the Na Nachs appear as if they are pushing for non-violence.

ReplyDelete#1: If something is orthidix it is a doctrine worship and a value of the church of the right praise
#2: a mitzfah iswhen happiness is key to a rich relashionship with god to spread happiness and livliness
#3: to feel likesomethinggives them livlinessand happiness tohave an personal and estatic experience with god
#4: a jewish (sexular) passerby who found the Na Nachs good vibes contageous and she liked the Na Nachs
#5: To proselytize joy and allow a certain type of exposure to traditional judaism that secular jews don't really have with the ultra-orthodox community
1. it is traditional/normal
ReplyDelete2. it is a spiritual duty
3. it is a way of worshiping God that they are comfortable with and like
4. A person who was their when the Na Nachs passed by when they were dancing on the street
5. They are helping create and understanding between the two groups

ReplyDelete1. Traditional or normal.
2. A spiritual duty from God.
3. Because they believe it is their "mitzvah," and they feel like they are supposed to spread their happiness, and live the way God wants them to live.
4. A secular Jew who enjoys the Na Nachs' music.
5. That they help the two have an understanding of each other, and give secular Jews a taste of what the traditional Jews are like.
6. The type of effect that would be created would be a pathetic effect. Jerusalem has a bad reputation for violence and arguing, and not everybody that lives there is like that. It shows in this article that they love happiness and some have good relationships with God. It would create mixed feelings because of the two diverse type of people in Jerusalem, the ones who have deep religious piety and the ones that are arguing and rioting.
Orthodox means "right belief" or "right praise." A mitzvah is the Na Nachs' spiritual duty to spread happiness to others. The Na Nachs worship the way they do because their central belief is that happiness is key to a rich relationship with God, and that it's their spiritual duty to spread that happiness to others. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby who found the good vibes to be contagious. According to Magid, the Na Nachs' responsibility when it comes to the relationship between "religious" and "secular" Jews is that the core of religious living is prayer, joy, and celebration. With the "secular" Jews, the Na Nachs have attracted lots of younger Israelis who grew up in secular families and find themselves interested in Orthodox Judaism. The secular Jews even trade in the party life for a more spiritual lifestyle. If this story were juxtaposed next to a story about the violence that is recurring in Jerusalem, then people would think that the violence was started from the Na Nachs' dancing and protest to stop them. A Logical appeal would be created because the two stories would considered to be connected.

ReplyDelete1) it conforms to a belief
2)a spiritual duty
3) because it makes them happy, which they believe will make them keep the torah better
4) someone who passed by the Na Nachs and felt good vibes
5) they try to create and understanding between the communities
6) the appeal would be a ethical appeal because of the contrast between right and wrong and the good in dancing rather than in violence.

ReplyDeleteIf something is orthodox, it means that it is customary, or conventional. A mitzvah is their spiritual duty.The Na Nachs worship this way because they believe that it is their spiritual duty to spread happiness to others, and this type of worship definitely makes people happy. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby, who experienced this type of worship and after watching it, found the happiness to be contagious. Their responsibility is to “proselytize joy”, and create somewhat of an understanding between the two groups. I think it would be a pathetic appeal, because the violence makes a lot of people upset, while this story is super happy and positive. This would probably lead more people towards the Na Nachs, because people would rather be positive and joyful than depressed by the thought of terrible violence.
Orthodox means conforming to what is generally or traditionally accepted. A mitzvah is a spiritual duty. The Na Nachs worship with music because they want to lively and happy when they are enjoying their own religion. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby who felt good vibes come from this group when they stopped at a red light and danced around their vehicle. Magid believes that the Na Nachs' responsibility is to show their religion to others and bring others joy. If this story was being juxtaposed an Ethical appeal would be created.

ReplyDelete1. More traditional, also it's usually more strict
2. a spiritual promise
3. Because they believe that happiness is the way to a close relationship with God, and that spreading their happiness spreads their faith
4. a passerby who saw the Na Nachs in action and really liked them
5.To expose secular Jews to ultra-orthodox Judaism and bridge the gap.
6. an ironic one, a ethical appeal

ReplyDeleteIf something is orthodox it means its regular or normal. A mitzvah is a command or a spiritual duty given to them by God. The Na Nachs worship they way they do because they want to spread happiness to other people. Gabriella Wernick is a secular Jew and a person who say them perform and found the good vibes to be contagious. Magid thinks that the Na Nach's that the Na Nach's expose joy to secular Jews and gives an understanding between the secular Jews and the orthodox Jews. The effect that would be created is the reader would be pulled into two, showing the reader the good and the bad parts of Jews, so it created an ethical appeal.
If something is orthodox then they are right or true. A mitzvah is the central belief that happiness is key to a rich relationship with God, and that it's their spiritual duty. Na Nachs worship the way they do because they like having intense, personal and ecstatic experiences with God. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby to the Na Nachs dancing outside of their car at a stop light. The Na Nachs responsibility when it comes to the relationship between "religious" and "Secular" Jews is that they create an understanding between the two groups. The appeal the story would create is Pathetic because the violence would appeal to people's emotions.

ReplyDelete1. Orthodox means a person who lives strictly by the teachings of his/her religion.Orthodox can be applied to Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and many other religions.It also means to live by tradition.
2. A precept or commandment
3. The Na Nachs are more interested in having intense, personal and ecstatic experiences with God.
4. A passerby who found the good vibes to be contagious
5. "The Na Nachs are really just interested in proselytizing joy," Magid says. "So in that sense, they're really a breath of fresh air for a lot of the secular Jews. They allow for a certain kind of exposure to traditional Judaism that secular Jews would never have because they would never have that sort of contact with the ultra-Orthodox community." Magid thinks the Na Nachs are helping to create some understanding between the two groups.
6. I think some of the same effects that happened here would happen; I think a Pathetic, or Ethical appeal would be created.

ReplyDelete1.) The traditional Jewish faith; the normal
2.) To spread happiness to others
3.) Because they believe you should have a personal and intense relationship with God
4.) Passerby who found the good vibes to be contagious
5.) He thinks its extraoridinary that the Na Nachs are helping to create some understanding between the two groups.
6.) I like this group, I feel like they are good people and that it is wrong for people wanting to hurt them. They are just trying to live their life for God in a happy way. Pathetic - because I feel sympathy for them.
A mitzvah is a Na Nach's spiritual duty. The Na Nachs worship the way the do because they believe that when you're happy, you keep the Torah better, so you have to do whatever you can to be happy, and for them this includes: dancing, singing, joking, and nonsense. Gabriella Wernick is a passerby that found the good vibes to be contagious. The Na Nach's are a very traditional religious group because they keep strict religious rules about diet and modesty. They are very interested in dancing, and rave culture is a very big thing in Israelis. The group has attracted lots of younger Israelis who grew up in secular families and find themselves interested in Orthodox Judaism and many of them are former ravers who decided to trade in the party life for a more spiritual lifestyle. If compared to to a story about the violence that is recurring in Jerusalem, I think an ethical appeal would be created. This article is talking about how these men are trying to spread happiness by literally jumping out of cars at stop lights and dancing to praise God, but the violence recurring in Jerusalem is a completely opposite story. It would create an effect that makes you question your morals and decide which on you believe is right: violence or happiness.

ReplyDeleteIf something is orthodox it is follows traditional doctrines. A mitzvah is a spiritual duty. The Na Nachs worship the way that they do because their central belief is that happiness is key to a rich relationship with God, and that it's their spiritual duty to spread that happiness to others. Gabriella Wernick is a 24 year old Na Nach who found himself slipping away from Judaism as teenager, but when he came across Nachman’s teaching it was a revelation. Magid thinks the Na Nachs are helping to create some understanding between "religious" and "secular" Jews. If this story were juxtaposed next to a story about the violence that is recurring in Jerusalem, It would make the Na Nachs seem even more fun and happy. It would create an emotional appeal.
1. "Right belief"
ReplyDelete2. Special celebration.
3. They believe happiness makes a good connection with God.
4. A passerbyer who liked the good vibes.
5. To allow for a certain kind of exposure to traditional Judaism that secular Jews would never have because they would never have that sort of contact with the ultra-Orthodox community.
6. Logical.

ReplyDelete1. When something is the norm.
2. Commandments made by god.
3. When you are happy you keep the Torah better.
4. Passerby who found their vibes to be contagious.
5. A rich relationship with god.
6. It would as people were celebrating in time of war.
Orthodox means that something is normal and traditional. The Na Nachs worship by mitzvah; or spreading happiness. The do this because the feel the happiness and love makes their love of god grow stronger. Gabriella Wernick was nothing more but a passerby who found the vibes and happiness to be contagious. Magid feels like the group is helping bring the two groups together peacefully.
