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.
