    JUDAISM

    HISTORY
    Judaism was formed when Abraham made a
    covenant with God in Canaan in circa 2000
    BCE.
    Abraham was born under the name Abram in
    the city of Ur in Babylonia in circa 1800 BCE.
    He was the first one to spread the belief that
    the entire universe was the work of a single
    Creator, and he began to teach this belief to
    others.

    HISTORY
    The Covenant God made with Abraham
    was that if Abraham followed Gods rules
    and teachings, He would bless him with
    kids as many as the stars and his own
    land to own or the promised land.

    THREE BASIC GROUPS


    1. Orthodox Jews- all practices in Torah must
    be obeyed with no question
    2. Conservative and Reform Jews- ancient
    laws and practices should be interpreted to
    fit the modern life with more focus on
    community practices than on ritual practices
    3. Reform Jews- allow men and women to sit
    with each other; speak in Hebrew and local
    language in services

    CREED
    Judaism has no dogma, no formal set of
    beliefs that one must hold to be a Jew. In
    Judaism, actions are far more important
    than beliefs, although there is certainly a
    place for belief within Judaism.

    CREED
    Rambams 13 Principles Of Faith
    1.God exists
    2.God is one and unique

    to no other
    6. The words of the prophets are true
    7. Moses' prophecies are true, and Moses
    was the greatest of the prophets
    8. the Written Torah (first 5 books of the
    Bible) and Oral Torah (teachings now
    contained in the Talmud and other writings)
    were given to Moses

    9. There will be no other Torah


    10. God knows the thoughts and deeds of
    men
    11. God will reward the good and punish the
    wicked
    12. The Messiah will come
    13. The dead will be resurrected no other
    Torah

    Tanakh (Christian Old Testament) about

    commandments of Moses

    they do not believe that the Messiah will be
    divine
    -human beings are created in the image of
    God
    -the sacred name of God as revealed to

    Righteousness
    Kindness
    Compassion

    CULT
    Characteristics of Jewish Worship
    In the Jewish religion, recitation of prayers is the central characteristic of
    worship.
    They pray mainly for:
    Thanksgiving
    prayers of praise
    prayers that ask for things
    When Jewish pray, they spend time with God. To pray is to serve God
    with your heart, obeying God's commandment:
    ...to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and
    with all your soul
    Deuteronomy 11:13

    CULT
    "Torah" refers to the Five Books ofMoses: Genesis,
    Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. But the
    word "torah" can also be used to refer to the entire
    Jewish bible, or, it can also refer to the whole Jewish law
    and teachings.

    Rites and Ceremonies:


    -The very first rite of Judaism is the circumcision of all
    baby boys at the age of eight days.
    -The soul of the uncircumcised Jew is believed to perish
    with his body.

    CULT
    Sense of sacredness: Kashrutis the body ofJewishlaw
    dealing with what foods we can and cannot eat and how
    those food must be prepared and eaten. "Kashrut"
    comes from the Hebrew root Kaf-Shin-Reish, meaning fit,
    proper or correct.
    -It also requires menstruating women to avoid intimate
    contact with their husbands until a week after the end of
    their period and following their immersion in amikvah,
    or ritual bath. It symbolizes purification

    CULT
    Jewish Meditation is understood as:
    promoting a greater closeness to God
    disciplining the mind, so that one has greater
    ability to focus mentally
    bringing an awareness of those regions of the
    mind that had previously been 'unconscious'
    heighten one's understanding of the Torah

    CULT
    According to Judaism...
    Everyones created by God and therefore is linked
    to Him.
    We should nurture the Divine Spark within us.
    Reject intermediaries.
    Revelations of God cannot be limited to one
    document, person or time.
    Ritual without ethics is not only fruitless, but
    idolatrous and anti-religious.

    CULT
    The world is a work in progress.
    Judaism deeply values the search for truth.
    The severest consequence of evil doing is that it
    separates one from God.
    Judaism teaches us the importance of embodying
    democratic values and stresses the significance
    of education towards fulfilling our mission.
    Fulfill our obligations and our promise as a
    people.

    CONTRIBUTION TO REALITY
    leading a righteous life
    from Hillel the elder:What is hateful to you, do not
    do unto others.
    loving
    kindness
    The Jewish idea of righteousness ("tzedakah")
    gives the owner of property no right to withhold
    from the poor their share.
    The Jewish tradition gives great stress to
    reverence for parent
