THE OLDEST MONOTHEISTIC FAITH JUDAISM

WHERE DID IT ORIGINATE FROM? Judaism originated in Israel around 4000 years ago.

WHAT DO THE JEWS BELIEVE? Jews believe that there is a single God (Yahweh) who not only created the universe, but with whom every Jew can have an individual and personal relationship.

WHO IS THE FOUNDER? Jewish history begins with the covenant established between God and Abraham around 1812 BC, during the Bronze Age, in the Middle East. Abraham is considered as the father of the family of Jews. Moses is also an important figure as he gave the Jews the Torah.

WHO IS ABRAHAM? Abraham is the father of the Jewish people. Jews see Abraham as a symbol of trusting and obeying God. Abraham is also important to followers of Christianity and of Islam.

WHO IS THE LEADER FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT? Moses is the leader who freed them from slavery in Egypt. Moses protected the Jews from the wrath of God, and negotiated with God on their behalf.

WHAT IS THE SYMBOL OF JUDAISM? The symbol or emblem of the Jewish people is the Magen David (Shield of David), also known as the Star of David.

WHAT IS A MENORAH? The Menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. It is a candelabrum with seven candle holders displayed in Jewish synagogues. It symbolizes the burning bush as seen by Moses on Mount Sinai. The two most common menorahs have seven and nine candle-holders. The nine-candled holder used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

WHERE DO JEWS WORSHIP? Jews worship in Synagogues. Men and women usually sit separately in the Synagogues Men are required to cover their heads. In most cases worship takes place in Hebrew.

WHAT ARE THE SPIRITUAL LEADERS CALLED? The Jewish spiritual leaders are called Rabbis. Unlike leaders in many other faiths, a rabbi is not a priest and has no special religious status.

WHAT IS THE JEWISH HOLY BOOK CALLED? The most holy Jewish book is the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible). The Torah (or teachings) contains the five books revealed to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. 1.Genesis 2.Exodus 3.Leviticus 4.Numbers 5.Deuteronomy The Torah is stored inside the Ark. No one is allowed to touch the Torah, so a special pointer called a yad is used to follow words when reading it.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE WEEK FOR JEWS? The most important day of the week is the Sabbath (Shabbat), which is a day made holy by refraining from weekday work. The Jewish holy day, or Sabbath, starts at sunset on Friday and continues until sunset on Saturday. During the Sabbath, observant Jews will do nothing that might be counted as work. On the Sabbath, Jews attend services at the synagogue, often led by a Rabbi.

WHAT SPECIAL THINGS DO JEWS WEAR? Kippah (a skull cap) On their heads a devout Jew always wears the Kippah to remind him that he is always duty bound to follow the laws of God at all times and in all places. Tallit (a prayer shawl) Before beginning to worship or pray the devout Jew will often put on a tallit. The fringes on the shawl remind him of the many commandments of the Torah.

WHAT ARE BAR MITZVAHS AND BAT MITZVAHS? They are both special ceremonies where Jewish boys (aged 13) and girls (aged 12) can become adults in the eyes of the Jewish religion. Bar mitzvah is for boys and means Son of the Commandment. Bat mitzvah is for girls and means Daughter of the Commandment.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF JEWS? The two main types of Jews are:  Orthodox (the most religiously observant),  Unorthodox (more open to modern culture)

WHAT IS KOSHER FOOD? Meat The animal from which the meat is taken must have been slaughtered in accordance with prescribed Jewish ritual. Jews cannot eat meat from any animal that has a split hoof; animals such as rabbit or hare, pig, horse, dog or cat are therefore prohibited. Fish Jews may eat fish that have both fins and scales that are detachable from the skin.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN JEWISH CELEBRATIONS? Passover Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) is celebrated to commemorate the liberation of the Children of Israel who were led out of slavery in Egypt by Moses. Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year Yom Hashoah Yom Hashoah is a day set aside for Jews to remember the Holocaust.

HANUKKAH Hanukkah or is the Jewish Festival of Lights. It dates back to two centuries before the beginning of Christianity. It is an eight day holiday starting on the 25th night of the Jewish month of Kislev Hanukkah celebrates the miraculous victory over religious persecution in the Holy Land and also commemorates the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the burning oil. This is where the oil of the menorah (the candelabrum in the temple) miraculously burned for eight days, even though there was only enough oil for one day.
