Introduction Introduction
Judaism began before history in the eastern Mediterranean was even written.Judaism was founded by Abraham around 1750 B.C.E.Although Abraham is seen as the founder of Judaism, his grandson Jacob, who’s name changed to Israel, was the father of 12 children who became known as the “children of Israel”, or Israelites. Much later, they came to be known as the Jewish people. So Jacob was the great, great, great, grandfather of each and every Jew.
Who is a Jew? Who is a Jew?
Traditionally, a Jew is anyone who’s mother is a Jew
You can also be a Jew by conversionA conversion ceremony is really just an
“adoption” into the family of Abraham and Sarah
The Ancient Israelites’ was passed on by the mother instead of the father because you are always sure who the mother is
AbrahamAbraham
The father of the “Jewish people”, was Abraham.
He was the first person who entered into a convenant, or contract with God
He was willing to sacrifice his only son with Sarah, if God told him to. But it turned out that God did not want him to sacrifice his son and sent a ram instead. The respect for God’s wishes sealed the convenant.
Abraham was the first Patriarch which means “male power figure”. Matriarch means “female power figure”, this is where Ma and Pa came from.
• While there, he has two sons, Isaac and Ishmael
• Isaac was with his wife Sarah. Ishmael was with his wife’s handmaid, Hagar. According to legend, Isaac’s branch is the Jews and Ishmael’s branch is the Arabs.
• Abraham also nearly kills Isaac as a sacrifice.
The story of MosesThe story of Moses When Moses was born, Israelites were slaves of Egypt.One day he saw a slave master beating a Hebrew, and Moses struck him in anger. He knew that the punishment was death, so he fled into the forest. There he saw a bush that was burned by fire, but not destroyed. When he took a closer look, God spoke to him. God told him to go back to Egypt, and lead his people out of slavery. Moses went back to Egypt to tell the Pharoah, but the Pharoah ignored him.
In anger God punished Egypt by sending plagues, turning drinking water into blood, 3 days of darkness, and finally killing all newborns. The Pharoah’s son was killed that night and the next day, the Pharoah called Moses, and told him to take his people and his cattle and to leave Egypt. Moses led them into the desert for 40 years. When they arrived at Mt. Sinai, God spoke to the Israelite’s and gave them the 10 commandments.
They use B.C.E ( before common era) and not B.C. (before Christ), or A.D. (Anno Domini), which means in the year of the Lorn, because Jews do not believe Jesus was Christ, or the son of God.
The Jewish calendar is different because they chose to make the beginning of their calendar creation.
Judaism is the mother religon to both Christianity and Islam

What are the Beliefs What are the Beliefs ofJudisam? ofJudisam?
Judaism is one of the oldest religions still existing today. Judaism has a very formal set of beliefs that one must hold to be a Jew. Jews share a core of Monotheism principles (Believe in one God) and that he is the powerful and all knowing, and that at the end God will send down a messiah to redeem the Jews. The everyday belief for Jews is concentrated in their written scriptures. The Tanakh and the Talmud are the main holy books in Judaism. The Tanakh contains the Torah (five books of Moses), the prophets, and the Ketuvim ("writings"). Judaism's oral law is contained in the Mishnah, Tosefta, classical midrashim and the two Talmuds.
The mainstream Jewish view is that God will reward those who observe His commandments and punish those who intentionally transgress them.
once one learned Torah properly, one could then learn the higher truths
one can attain closeness to God even in this world through moral and spiritual perfection.
As a matter of practice Orthodox Judaism lays stress on the performance of the actual commandments.
