Judaism
What are the beliefs, history, and influence of Judaism?
Origins of Judaism
 Judaism is the religion of the Hebrews and
dates back to around 2000 BCE
 Judaism developed in the land of Canaan
also known as the Levant (modern-day
Israel and Palestine)
 The city of Jerusalem is considered the
birth-place
 Judaism is often regarded as the first
monotheistic religion
 They believe in an all-powerful single
god
Origins of Judaism
 The religion traces its root back to
Abraham and his covenant with
YHWH (Yahweh—I am that I am)
Yahweh is Hebrew for God
 The Covenant as told by God to
Abraham states that Abraham will be
the father of a great nation as long
as he and his people obey God’s
commands
Origins of Judaism
 Jews are an ethnoreligious group—
meaning one can be born Jewish
(ethnic group) or one can convert to
Judaism (which is a difficult process)
Beliefs of Judaism
 The Jews are God’s chosen people
 The Ten Commandments as given to Moses are the
law code of the Jews
 Males are circumcised at 8 days old
 One must observe and keep the Sabbath
 Eat Kosher foods—dietary laws, regulations and
customs
Beliefs of Judaism
 Belief in the messiah—the belief that a great
king (descended from David) will bring the Jews
back to the land of Israel, construct the third
temple, and bring back peace
 Jews believe in the after-life but it is not a
primary focus nor is there much written about
the subject
Sacred Texts
 The Torah is the foundational text
of Judaism and is part of a larger
text known as the Tanakh
 The Torah is also the first 5 books
of the Old Testament (Christian
Bible)
 Other texts include the Talmud
and Mishnah
Holy Days
 Rosh Hashanah—marks the start of the
Jewish New Year and beings a 10 day
period of atonement leading up to Yom
Kippur
 Yom Kippur—is the day of atonement and
the holiest day in Judaism
 Hanukah—Known as the “Festival of
Lights” marks the re-dedication of the
Temple
How did Judaism spread?
 The spread of Judaism was mostly involuntary
 The Jews have been forced into exile several
times throughout their existence
 Upon exile began the diaspora or the scattering
of the Jews
 Today roughly 40% of Jews live in Israel, another
40% live in North America, and the remaining
Jews primarily live in Europe
