In re: first post here--the Jewish people have (and HAD) a number of regular theatrical rituals. The weekly scripture readings are songs, the "mother" in the household has a special weekly "piece of business" with the pre-Sabbath dinner candles, and throughout the year there are several special holidays where the particular related story is told and everyone plays a part in the telling/acting out of the event. These are all effective reminders of their belief that they have a special relationship with God (who is the one who told them to remember all these things and teach them to their children). Jesus and his disciples were raised in this tradition. The "Last Supper" was instigated when this group was having their Seder. How do "Quakers"--the ones who don't allow singing at Meeting--deal with all of the places in scripture (lots in the Psalms) which tell us to sing and make music especially as part of our rejoicing in having a relationship with God?
