The authors, Mead, Hill, and Atwood describe the beginnings of Judaism as a branch of the Christian religion. Throughout time, these religions have altered and shifted, both growing and blossoming in their own way. In my opinion, the most unique belief of Judaism is that in their eyes, Jesus was not the Messiah. Being a Christian, I was taught in my church that Jesus is the embodiment of God and that he was brought to the Earth to sacrifice his life for our sins and to expand the word of the gospel. As Mead, Hill, and Atwood claim, the followers of Judaism do not agree with this idea.…
This best explains and describes Judeans. From this word a new religious meaning came to take its place. In religious terms ‘Jews’ designates people of whatever ethnic background who worships the God whose temple is in Jerusalem. A “Jew” is an inheritor of the father Israel and a “gentile” is any person who is not a Jew which means the rest of us. The term “Jew” and “Israelite” are used usually in Scripture.…

Judaism’s Cosmogony is basically the same as Christianity where the Almighty God Created everything in seven days. Judaism has a lot of myths and figures but the most important ones are Abraham and Moses. The founder of Judaism, Abraham who is considered the father. Abraham made a contract with God to search for the promise land which is now Israel. Moses, on the other hand, is equally important because he was the one who saved the Jews from the Egyptians and provided the Torah and the laws of God which are now called the 10 commandments.…
Their religion is monotheistic although the Hebrew people were originally polytheistic turned monolatry then monotheistic as they are today. The God they worship is referred as Yaweh and believe in a coming Messiah who will create a kingdom of righteousness. Another Jewish belief, is the belief of the afterlife. Judaism has a Jewish calendar which dates certain important holidays for those of the Jewish Faith.

pg 16 Oldest of the monotheistic religions, Judaism like Christianity considers Bible as its religious scripture which is an anthology, an assortment of writings of different writers belonging to different times. ' Then the lord God formed man out of the dust on ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and became a living being, (genesis 2:7) shapes the form of Adam from the clay then breathes into him the 'breath of life' so that Adam becomes Nephesh, or a living soul .'13 The…

A person may wonder, “What is the modern version of Hasidism?” First, Modern Hasidism was established in Poland by a master named Israel Ben Eliezer.…
Foundation - Judaism was founded in the ancient region of Canaan, which is the biblical name for the land that lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The area is modern day Israel and Palestinian territories. Abraham is regarded by the Jewish people as the father of the religion. They believe that God spoke to Abraham, and told him that he would be the leader of a great people, but only if Abraham followed God’s instructions. Moses was a biblical figure who led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt, and received God’s 10 Commandments on top of Mount Sinai.…
Generally speaking, contradictions are found in all aspects of life, and certainly within both history and religion. The values of the sages who practiced Rabbinic Judaism would, at first glance, appear to be such a contradiction. Jeffrey Rubenstein, in his introduction for Rabbinic Stories, calls this “a paradoxical theological statement,” which “asserts that all opinions uttered by sages in the future were already revealed to Moses on Mt. Sinai” (2). The rabbis during the rabbinic period believed that although their interpretations of the Torah were innovative, they were also, in fact, part of the original Jewish tradition, which is evident through the stories in the Talmud.…
“ Despite the theological claims of the Jewish traditions, it is actually not God who legislates in Rabbinic Judaism, but the Rabbis.” Rabbis are predominantly Jewish scholars who studies and educate Jewish laws. The comprehension of these people is acknowledged through a religious ceremony where one is suitably a Rabbi. Rabbis undertake in a preponderance of generating the oral and written laws, even seen as a figure closer to God than anyone else in the community. They have signified a remarkable role in the Judaism religion, from my understanding.…
Judaism is one of the largest and oldest religion in the world, with 14 million Jews and 3500 years of history. In its history, there have been many individuals who have been important in the Jewish religion. One of the most important is Moses, a Jewish man who was raised as an Egyptian royal, led the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity, and gave the people commandments from God. Moses was born during a time where the Egyptians had decreed that the first borns be of every Jewish family be killed. He laid in a basket and placed in the Nile where later the Pharaoh’s daughter found him.…
Hinduism and Judaism are two of the oldest existing religions in the world. Judaism is one of the first religions ever created and a monotheistic one. Judaism states that they must ultimately believe in the reality of God who made an agreement between Him and the Jews. Hindus believe in several Gods and Goddesses but they are all reflections of one God, Brahman, or the Universal spirit. The Hindu God presents himself in three forms, Brahma who created the world for them, Vishnu who sustains it, and Shiva who destroys it and recreates the world.…
Over the years I had the opportunity to visit other countries and able to experience the cultural differences including some of the beliefs and the practices. Religion has never been my strong topic, not because any specific preference but more so due to the constant battle for some belief and the fanatical followers who make it almost distasteful. From the captivity in Babylonia 587 – 520 BCE the religion of Judaism was founded 1300 BC, after the ruin of the second temple in 70 AD (the humanities culture, continuity & change pg281). It is said that Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions and was originated more than 3500 years ago in the Middle East.…
