Introduction Judaism is all about the life of the Jews as it encompasses their spiritual, physical and emotional life. This religion has its origin from Abraham. According to the tradition of the Jews, he is the first person to have come up with Monotheism. From Abraham, the followers of this religion can be traced through Patriarchs to the Egyptian exile. From then came the Exodus, the receipt of the Torah, fulfilling of the Covenant, the conquering of the promised land (Canaan), Judges, the kingdom and its split in two, the exile in Babylon and the Jews homecoming under Ezra, the ensuing independence loss and demolition of the Temple by the Roman empire, the Jews dispersal all through the globe for centuries, the documentation of maltreatment and pogroms ending in the Holocaust, the formation of prosperous societies in the West, and the reinstitution of a Jewish state. Judaism is one among 3 of Abraham’s faith. By 2007, the population of Jews was about thirteen million. Most of them were found in Israel or the US. “This religion is characterized by its monotheism, its belief in a special covenant with God making it his ‘chosen people’, ethnic and territorial identity (the ‘promised land’), specific laws and practices, and their belief in the Messiah” (Kanarfogel, 37).

Currently, Judaism is not encompassed in the ancient practices and beliefs related to temple worship although they are still observing their culture and religion via scholarships and strict adherence. To date, Judaism is still being maintained in spite of the Jews’ brutal persecution by a lot of nations. Consequently, this paper will elucidate on Judaism as a religion. Historical context Followers of this religion believe that Abraham (Biblical patriarch) was the 1 st Jew. Rabbinic texts show that, Abraham was the first person to rebuff idolatry and advocate for monotheism. “As a result, God promised he would have children, starting with Isaac, who would carry on his work and inherit the land of Israel (then called Canaan) after having been exiled and redeemed” (Jacobs, 392). At one point, Jacob and his offspring were taken to Egypt, they were enslaved for a long time but eventually God used Moses to redeem them. After the redemption, God took the Israelites to Mount-Sinai where they were given the “Torah”. After this, He delivered them to the Promised Land. Here, “God set the descendants of Aaron, Moses’ brother, to be a priestly class within the Israelite community. They first officiated in the tabernacle (a portable house of worship), and later their descendants officiated in the Temple in Jerusalem” (Jacobs, 392). Following the settlement, the tabernacle was placed at Shiloh for more than three hundred years; in this period Yahweh provided great leaders to rally the Israelites during n
