The first place we got to was the AL-Huda Islamic center. The speakers was Dr. Rasheed. When we got their as we walked in we were asked to take our shoes of. This was asked of us because we were going to enter their praying ground and they have to keep it as clean as possible. The speaker was very friendly and kind. He gave us plenty of information on his religion. I learned that when women are going to pray at the temple they have to be covered up. On the outside the building didn't seem so holy but as you walk in everything changes. Their were lots of books and their carpet was pretty. I asked a question and Dr. Rasheed answered it with detail and Understood more ' When a baby girl is born is her head also shaved?' I enjoyed every moment we spent their and I'm glad we went.
The second place we went to was the congregation of children of Israel. The speaker was Rabbi Gerson. As we approached the building I was speechless because their church is beautiful outside and in. When you walk in everything looks in place and you feel welcomed. What was so interesting to me were the scrolls that the rabbi took out they were written in Hebrew. The rabbi answered all of the questions that we had and provided us information that was very help full to understand his religion.
The third place we went to was the St. Joseph's catholic church. The speaker was Deccan Grutsch. The church had lots of art in the inside which was beautiful but made me feel a little sad. I learned that wine represents Jesus' blood and the bread his body. As they take this in their mouth they return quietly to their seat neal and pray. The Deccan was a good speaker and answered all of our questions. He was very friendly and nice.
