background Judaism is the oldest religion. Its foundation lies in the original covenant made between Abraham and God, circa 1900 BCE, when Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur and travel to Cannan, later known as Palestine and Israel, a land which God promised to give to his descendants. The second and chief covenant was made 450 years later when Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt back to the lands of Canaan. At Mt Horeb, God gave the Jewish people the 10 Commandants and other rules to live by, contained in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, marking the beginning of Judaism as a structured religion

Judaism

Key Beleifs 1. Jews believe in the one living God who is transcendent, omnipotent, just and who reveals himself to human beings. The Hebrew word for this one true God is JHWH, or Yahweh. 2. Shema: Jewish profession of faith. “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One” – recited at morning and evening service. 3. Central text is the Torah, or Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible, revealed to Moses). 4. Talmud: written interpretation and development of the Hebrew scriptures, in two versions, Palestinian and Babylonian. 5. Orthodox Jews follow strict dietary laws. Kosher is the word used to describe food prepared in accordance with religious law. 6. There is no instinctive evil, original sin or fundamental impurity in human beings since people are made in God’s image
