Understanding Judaism Dates back nearly 4,000 years Judaism is
the ancestor to both Christianity and Islam. The sacred texts of
these three religions overlap in several ways. Hebrew Bible =
Christian Old Testament Many Bible stories also appear in the
Qur'an The Jews believe in one God, and they believe that God
entered into a special covenant with the ancient Israelites, the
early Jews, and that they were chosen by God. The central belief is
that people should treat others as they, themselves wish to be
treated.

Jews observe the Sabbath, which lasts each week from sundown on
Friday to sundown on Saturday. They do not work. They pray and
attend synagogue services. Traditional holidays include: Rosh
Hashana (New Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Passover, and
Hanukah. At 13, Jewish boys celebrate their Bar Mitzvah, and Jewish
girls celebrate their Bat Mitzvah as they prepare to take on adult
religious responsibilities.
Slide 10
Anti-Semitism Discrimination against Jews dates back hundreds
of years. In some places, Jews were expelled and forced to settle
different areas around Europe. In many countries they were forced
to seclude themselves in ghettos, where they maintained their own
businesses, schools, and professions.
Slide 11
When Hitler became dictator, anti-Semitism became official
policy. He blamed the Jews for all of the troubles they suffered
after their defeat in World War I. Jews were forced to wear the
Star of David on the outside of their clothing.
Slide 12
Jews were forbidden to mingle with others. They were regarded
as being less than human. It is estimated that over 6.5 million
Jews were murdered during the Holocaust.
