Abraham, the father of Judaism, introduced Monotheism to the world, and G‑d promised to give his descendants the land of Israel. Those descendants became enslaved by the pharaohs of Egypt until G‑d sent Moses—and many miracles—to free them. They journeyed out of Egypt towards the promised land, stopping at Mount Sinai, where G‑d made a covenant with them. The Israelites accepted the Torah (all its requirements and prohibitions) and became the Jewish people—G‑d’s nation.
