Oldest Monotheistic Faith Roots of Judaism Oldest Monotheistic Faith

Origins Founders: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Prophets ) - origins of the Hebrew people (ca. 1800 BCE) Enslaved in ancient Egypt and freed by Moses (ca. 1300s BCE) – plagues, received “10 Commandments from God” as ethical code of behavior. Crossed Red Sea to … “Promised Land” (The Land of Israel) – part of a covenant (agreement with God) that Jews would have this land and be the chosen people of God.

Where Judaism Practiced According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics there is 14,993,000 Jews worldwide In Israel alone there is 5,703,700 United States has 5,275,000 Canada has 375,000 Mexico has 39,400 Israel = where Judaism is practiced = where Judaism originated

Major Beliefs Monotheist – Belief in one God (Yahweh), creator of the universe, personal but non-corporeal Covenant – as Chosen People (so little effort at conversion) Importance of Family 10 Commandments – ethical code of conduct

Founders/Leaders God = Yahweh Founders = Prophets like Abraham and Moses Leaders/Teachers = Rabbis

Holy Books Torah was revealed to the Hebrew people (first five books of the Bible), containing religious, moral and social law which guides the life of a Jew It’s the first five books of the Hebrew Bible Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Torah is stored inside the Ark and no one is allowed to touch the Torah

Holy Book (cont) Talmud - a huge collection of doctrines and laws compiled and written before the 8th Century, A.D., by ancient Jewish teachers

Holy Places Temple of Jerusalem in Israel. Only part left is Western or Wailing Wall (temple will be destroyed by Romans) Synagogues – religious temple for worship. B'nai Shalom – This reform congregation, located at 420 Whitehall Road in Albany

Holy Symbols/Sacred Days Star of David Menorah (Hanukah) Sabbath - a day of religious observance and abstinence from work, kept by Jews from Friday evening to Saturday evening Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Yom Kippur—Day of Atonement.

Influences …. Although little emphasis on conversion or missionary work. Helped formed Christianity (Jesus was Jewish) Islam (the Prophet Muhammad considers Jews as “People of Book” to be respected)

Historical Concerns Diaspora – the Jewish people have often been forced from their homeland “dispersal” – Babylonian Captivity by Assyrians, movement of Jews during the Holocaust Targeted for Persecution – Romans destroyed Temple of Jerusalem, during Black Death persecuted, Holocaust Contemporary political concerns over Israel – promised Israel as national home for Jews by British Balfour Declaration in 1917, but Muslim Palestinians claim same land as their land. Has caused a half-century of war.
