Jewish Influence
The centerpiece for understanding the Jewish influence in religious education is seen in the SHEMA
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Jewish Influence
The system of education for a Jewish child was centered in the home.
Parents took every opportunity to teach their children about God.
