Judaism

Judaism is an Abrahamic ethnoreligious group that originated in the Hebrew people of the Ancient Near East. It is considered one of the oldest monotheistic religions, and the Torah is its foundational text.

Judaism is practiced in various forms by millions of people around the world. Traditional forms of Judaism believe that God revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah.

The traditional Jewish belief is that God established a covenant with the Jewish people at Mount Sinai, and revealed his laws and commandments to them in the form of the Torah.

Practices

Jewish practices are grounded in the commandments stipulated in the Torah, and are guided by the values and ethics of Judaism. These practices include Shabbat, Kosher, and Jewish holidays.

History

Judaism's history begins with the covenant established between God and Abraham around 1812 BC, during the Bronze Age, in the Middle East.
