JUDAISM

Judaism About 3500 years old, Judaism is the mother religion of Christianity and Islam. Monotheism: belief in and worship of only one god. Jews believe they were chosen by God to practice and teach monotheism: the chosen people.

Founder Abraham was the father of the Hebrew people, and Moses was the law- giver. The Law refers to the Torah: the commandments of God to His chosen people.

Torah: Holy Book The Torah was originally the Ten Commandments and now includes the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). The Torah also includes the Talmud, a very complex philosophical text to interpret law and discuss all fields of knowledge.

Temple/ Synagogue The Law has 613 mitzvoth or commandments to guide the Jew through life. At age 13 boys participate in bar mitzvah. In some types girls celebrate bat mitzvah at age 12. Various prayers are to be recited morning, afternoon, or evening.

Dietary Laws Three divisions of Judaism: Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform. Many Jews “keep kosher,” or only eat certain foods prepared in certain ways. This would be mandatory for Orthodox Jews and voluntary for Reform.

Diaspora Destruction of Solomon’s temple at Jerusalem in 70 CE (AD) caused the Jewish people to be scattered: Diaspora. Western or wailing wall of Solomon’s temple.

Holidays Days vary because the Jewish calendar varies from the Christian one. The Sabbath (holy day) commemorates Creation - sundown Friday to sundown Sat.

Passover (March ) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt over 3,000 years ago Rosh Hashanah (New Year - early Sept.) - mourning the fate of the Jews. Yom Kippur (Sept. 10) - Day of Atonement Hanukah/Chanukah - Festival of Lights - celebrates oil that lasted 8 days. Draedel
