Our Religion Trip


First we visited the Mosque and learned about the Islamic religion. When we got there we had to take off our shoes as a symbol of respect to Allah. The rug that we stood on was really soft and the building was pretty small and there were little columns in the shape of rectangles printed in the rug. They were for each person to come and worship in their own little space. We met the prayer leader whose name was Hisham Ahmed. He taught us a great deal about Islam and their practice.


The second place we visited was Congregation Children of Israel place. We met Rabbi Gerson and he explained to us about the Jewish religion i learned a lot of stuff that i didn't know, for instance that beanie thing i used to call it, is called a Yamica. The synagogue was a nice place and it was very clean. The Torah scrolls had gold on them, i thought that was pretty cool.


The last place we visited was the Catholic church. That place was very quiet and barely anyone talked but this french lady. She was cool and she had lots of stuff to tell us and explain. The catholic church was a strict place and there was no horseplay around there. The sanctuary was big and had a lot of space in it. My favorite were the stained glass windows.

Good post and details. Your first paragraph was written very well with no errors. What happened after that? You explained your ideas well, but you forgot about capitalization and grammar rules! I too enjoyed the Torah scroll and stained glass.

Please make necessary corrections. As is you earned 42/50 points.
