About Judaism
Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. Judaism is
a monotheistic religion based on principles and ethics
embodied in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), as further
explored and explained in the Talmud and other texts.
Judaism is among the oldest religious traditions still
being practiced today. Jewish history and the principles
and ethics of Judaism have influenced other religions,
such as Christianity, Islam and the Bahá'à Faith. In
modern Judaism, central authority is not vested in any
single person or body, but in sacred texts, traditions,
and learned Rabbis who interpret those texts and laws.
According to Jewish tradition, Judaism begins with the
Covenant between God and Abraham (ca. 2000 BCE), the
patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people.
Throughout the ages, Judaism has adhered to a number of
religious principles, the most important of which is the
belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent,
transcendent God, who created the universe and continues
to govern it. According to Jewish tradition, the God who
created the world established a covenant with the
Israelites and their descendants, and revealed his laws
and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of
both the Written and Oral Torah. Judaism has
traditionally valued Torah study and the observance of
the commandments recorded in the Torah and as expounded
in the Talmud.
Judaism (from the Latin Iudaismus, derived from the
Greek Ioudaïsmos, and ultimately from the Hebrew Yehudah,
"Judah"; Yahadut, the distinctive characteristics of the
Judean ethnos is the religion, philosophy and way of
life of the Jewish people. A monotheistic religion
originating in the Hebrew Bible (also known as the
Tanakh) and explored in later texts such as the Talmud,
Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the
expression of the covenantal relationship God
established with the Children of Israel. Rabbinic
Judaism holds that God revealed his laws and
commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both
the Written and Oral Torah. This assertion was
historically challenged by the Karaites, a movement that
flourished in the medieval period, which retains several
thousand followers today and maintains that only the
Written Torah was revealed. In modern times, liberal
movements such as Humanistic Judaism may be
non-theistic.
Judaism claims a historical continuity spanning more
than 3,000 years. It is one of the oldest monotheistic
religions and the oldest to survive into the present
day. The Hebrews/Israelites were already referred to as
"Jews" in later books of the Tanakh such as the Book of
Esther, with the term Jews replacing the title "Children
of Israel". Judaism's texts, traditions and values
strongly influenced later Abrahamic religions, including
Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Faith. Many aspects
of Judaism have also directly or indirectly influenced
secular Western ethics and civil law.
Jews are an ethnoreligious group and include those born
Jewish and converts to Judaism. In 2010, the world
Jewish population was estimated at 13.4 million, or
roughly 0.2% of the total world population. About 42% of
all Jews reside in Israel and about 42% reside in the
United States and Canada, with most of the remainder
living in Europe. The largest Jewish religious movements
are Orthodox Judaism (Haredi Judaism and Modern Orthodox
Judaism), Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism. A
major source of difference between these groups is their
approach to Jewish law. Orthodox Judaism maintains that
the Torah and Jewish law are divine in origin, eternal
and unalterable, and that they should be strictly
followed. Conservative and Reform Judaism are more
liberal, with Conservative Judaism generally promoting a
more "traditional" interpretation of Judaism's
requirements than Reform Judaism. A typical Reform
position is that Jewish law should be viewed as a set of
general guidelines rather than as a set of restrictions
and obligations whose observance is required of all
Jews. Historically, special courts enforced Jewish law;
today, these courts still exist but the practice of
Judaism is mostly voluntary. Authority on theological
and legal matters is not vested in any one person or
organization, but in the sacred texts and rabbis and
scholars who interpret them.
