Judaism

History of Judaism Judaism is the oldest monotheistic religion. Monotheism means the belief in one god. Jewish history begins circa 1812 BC in a town called Ur in Mesopotamia. It is written that God made a covenant or special agreement with Abraham. Abraham is considered the founder of Judaism.

On the Move The Jews prospered for awhile then moved to Egypt when their crops died and no food could be found. Egypt started out treating them well but then a new king came to power and enslaved all the Jews.

History Continued Moses then became important to the Jews. He led the Hebrews/Jews out of Egypt He was also given the 10 Commandments from God. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEOMFjGFS7M

The Torah The Jewish Scripture According to the Bible God gave Moses the first five books of the Bible. These are known as the Torah. For the people of Israel the Torah was the basis of life and faith.

Afterlife The Jews believe in an afterlife. Olam Ha-Ba (similar to the Christian Heaven) Sheol (similar to the Christian Hell)

Symbols of Judaism Menorah Star of David The menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. It is a candelabrum with seven candle holders. It symbolizes the burning bush seen by Moses on Mount Sinai. Star of David The symbol of the Jewish people is the Star of David.

Place of Worship Jews go to a Synagogue to worship, learn more about their faith, and meet other people. The word Synagogue means “meeting place.”

Major Beliefs Jews believe that there is a single God who not only created the universe, but with whom every Jew can have an individual and personal relationship. The Sabbath is the Jewish holy day. It begins at sunset on Friday and lasts until sunset on Saturday. It is the day for rest and religious thought.
