Judaism Religion
Information about the Judaism Religion
One of the first known monotheistic religions, likely dating to between 2000-1500 B.C., Judaism is the native faith of the
Jewish people, based upon the belief in a covenant of responsibility between a sole omnipotent creator God and Abraham,
the patriarch of Judaism's Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh. Divine revelation of principles and prohibitions in the
Hebrew Scriptures form the basis of Jewish law, or halakhah, which is a key component of the faith.
While there are extensive traditions of Jewish halakhic and theological discourse, there is no final dogmatic authority
in the tradition. Local communities have their own religious leadership. Modern Judaism has three basic
categories of faith: Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform/Liberal.
These differ in their views and observance of Jewish law, with the Orthodox representing the most traditional
practice, and Reform/Liberal communities the most accommodating of individualized interpretations of Jewish identity and faith.
