Think about… WHY DO RELIGIONS HAVE SYMBOLS? WHAT PURPOSE DO THEY SERVE? Star of David MenorahMezuzah Israel’s flag Torah

JUDAISM- major world religion founded by the Hebrews in 1400 B.C. which became the first monotheistic belief system. (monotheism-ONE GOD) IMPORTANT FIGURES: 1.Abraham- first Hebrew to make a covenant with God; father of monotheism 2. Moses- messenger of God (prophet) who led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt and was given the Ten Commandments 3. King David & his son Solomon- created a Jewish empire and built the city of Jerusalem

Judaism Israelites (Abraham) founded Judaism between 1200 and 1000 BC. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. Judaism tells Jews what they should and should not do as it is written in the Torah. God made a covenant with Moses and the Jews who were fleeing Egypt. In the covenant God promised to guide his people if they followed the law of the ten commandments. Prophets were certain religious teachers that the Jews believed were sent by God to serve as his voice to his people. The torah is the first 5 books of the Bible. It served as a place where prophets wrote down accounts and it was open to anyone who could read it, which was very different from any other religion of that time.

JUDAISM Monotheism - 1 God Torah- holy book Ten Commandments- law code Synagogue or temple- house of worship Sabbath- holy day is Saturday Kosher food (no pork or shellfish) Orthodox, Conservative or Reformed Important days: Hannukah, Passover, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah *NOTES*

Key Things to remember… Judaism has three main ideas: God (the most important deity or thing to worship) Torah (the most important book/holy book/guidelines to read and live by) –Includes the 10 commandments Israel (the most holy place)
