Funeral Ceremony sequence

Still in the process

 



Among every Jewish ceremony, the traditional form of Jewish funeral appear to be the most tightly choreogrpah and the least  liturgical. It is so powerful in term of silence and free speech by just a little movement that it created such the powerful impact to the emotional of the moment. From the point that one man died, it not only family, but also the community, neighboor and friend, has a responsibility to ensure that that person is buried properly. From the point that just only one man died it create such a complex choreograph that involve so many actors. and after the burial ceremony done, every thing is not finish yet,  the rituals continued for about 12 months. In pararell with the jewish believe about after life, they belief that after on person died he has to go to the place call gehinnom for 12 months and then the spirit will ascend to Gan eden similar to heaven. (the same time that the funeral ritual done).

The isometric explaining the sequence of the complex choreograph of Jewish funeral ceremony.
The change of slope of the isometric represent the sequence of time, the the activity that happened in the same plain means it happen about the same time(you will see what kind of activity that each actors doing at the same time, maybe they dont even be at the same space, for example during the shiva period, the mourner have to stay at their home all the time for 7 days, during that period the neighboor or friend can live their live normally but the have a task to cook the food for the mourner everyday, the mourner are not allow to cook themself/ some time the activity that the actors perform might not seem to relate with each other at all, but some time it construct an invisible link with each other.).
The funeral mainly divided into 5 periods.
Here is my main actor

Actors:
1Dead body, spirit
2Mourners 1-- parents, brother sister of the deceased
3Mourner 2 -- child--
4Neighboor/community

Each actors will represent in different color, so we can see what kind of task they perform during the same time

Believe :

From last class discussion

We were talking about the judaism believe is more like a journey from point A-B and what happened between A and b is the factors that determine what kind of B are we gonna end up ex. B1, B2, or B3

For judaism believe: according to the rule, there are so many different type of thing that they have to do, and follow

1. Ten commandments

2. The Daily routines that they have to do(keep kocher, keep sabbath day, etc)

3.Secred ceremony that they have to observe

4. Life cycle( include the ceremony or thing that they have to do during their life period.) and afterlife where they will go and in the end the resurrection when the messiah come

ps. they believe that,t the place that they will go afterlife is depend on what they did during there life.

 

So I do the catelog of each topic of their believe in axonometric volumn, So in the end I will use this axometric catolog and put it together as the whole network of judaism believe, the catolog of ritual ceremony, will combine together with the costume and artifacts

 



 



 

10 commandments

 

 Ritual ceremonies

Life cycle

(event and ceremonies that they have to perform)

+ afterlife and resurrection

 

The overall layout, I want to put every element of believe together, to demonstrate the network, believe system of judaism. But i cant figure it out yet.(this one I just put everything together randomly) In the end I want it tobe like what we had discussed in class about monopoly game, the diagram will demonstrate that the thing jewish people do during their life time determined where they will end up afterlife.
 

Religious Institutions:

Judaism

  First class Process:

The population of Judaism is quite small compare to other world religion.The population of Judaism in Israel and USA is more than 80% of the total Judaism population in the world.

The most important pilgrimage site for them is the Western wall or the wailing wall in Jerusalem.

This diagram is my first attempt trying to turn the original hebrew calendar into  3dimensional axon.So that I can show spatial quality of each ceremony activity and calendar itself together within one diagram.

right now after class discussion, I have to figure out the way to make this diagram to be more easier to read.
