Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last. • Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. • Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. • There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately. • All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. • Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited. • When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted. • Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

(5) Question number Indicative content Mark 1(d) AO2 12 marks, SPaG 3 marks Candidates must underpin their analysis and evaluation with knowledge and understanding. Candidates will be required to demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding as well as accuracy of religion and belief when responding to the question and in meeting AO2 descriptors. AO2 Arguments for the statement: • Shekhinah is the divine presence on earth, the Almighty manifesting his glory for his people. The presence of the Almighty appears at all the major occasions in the Torah, showing his love for the Jews. What could be more important than this? • When Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, the divine presence was there, seen as smoke; ‘for the Lord had come down upon it in fire;’ (Exodus 19:18) which showed the people that the laws had come from the Almighty, giving them their importance for Jewish life • The Jews were led to Israel by Shekhinah, manifesting as either a pillar of fire or cloud. Once in Israel, Isaiah made reference to ‘my Lord seated on a high and lofty throne…’ in the Temple (6:1) and it is the reason for many Jews, why the Temple remains the most holy place for them. Arguments against the statement: • For some Jews, the Torah is not seen as the words of the Almighty but inspired by the Almighty and thus they do not read it as literally. For them, whilst they may believe that the Almighty has a presence in the world, it is not necessarily seen in the way described in the scriptures • The most important belief for all Jews is the oneness of the Almighty. It is seen in the words of the Shema: ‘Hear O Israel! The Lord is our God. The Lord alone.’ (Deuteronomy 6:4) which they have in the mezuzahs, tefillin and which is repeated many times daily • Belief in the Messiah is the most important belief for some Jews. They believe that ultimately this is what should be worked towards; a time of peace for all nations when the Temple will be restored to glory. Their lives are dedicated to obeying the mitzvot so this will happen. (15) Accept any other valid response.
