Judaism is centered around stories from the Torah, especially Moses leading the Jews out of slavery in Egypt. The Torah contains the core beliefs and 613 commandments that followers live by. Symbolic religious objects include the kippah, tallit, and Star of David. The Western Wall of the old temple in Jerusalem is the most sacred site, and synagogues are where people worship and pray. Major rituals include circumcision, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings under a ketubah contract, and burials within 24 hours. Holidays celebrate important events like Passover, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Purim.
