Judaism 
 These religions accept the belief in one God and the moral teachings of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), which includes the Torah or "תורה."
Judaism 
 The three main beliefs at the center of Judaism are Monotheism, Identity, and covenant (an agreement between God and his people).
Judaism 
 The most important teachings of Judaism is that there is one God, who wants people to do what is just and compassionate.
Judaism 
 Judaism teaches that all people are made in the image of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Judaism 
 He cannot be divided into parts and people cannot say how He looks in words; they can only say how He is and what He does.
Judaism 
 This means that they must do what is fair and just, show mercy, and behave with kindness and love for people.
Judaism 
 He is above nature (“supernatural”) but He is in the world and He hears those who pray to Him and will answer them.
Judaism 
 Free will is the freedom to do whatever a person wants, but that they must be responsible of his/her own actions.
Judaism 
 God gives a person a reward or a punishment in this world, but He gives the final reward or punishment to the soul of the person after their death.
Judaism 
 Jews believe that God made an agreement called a “covenant” with Abraham, the ancestor of the Jewish people.
Judaism 
 The Bible says that God promised to bless Abraham and his descendants if they worshipped God and were faithful to him.
Judaism 
 This is because the Bible says God told them, “You will be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:6) and “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord chose you to be His own special nation out of all peoples on the earth” (Deuteronomy 14:2).
Judaism 
 Jews believe that this covenant works in two ways: if they follow God’s laws, He will give them his love and protection, but they are also responsible for their sins – bad actions – and disobeying what God told them.
Judaism 
 Jews believe that they must teach other people that God exists and that God wants all people to do good actions.

Judaism 
 Many of the 613 mitzvot are about the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and cannot be done now, since the Temple was destroyed.
Judaism 
 Jews see mitzvot as acts that sanctify – bring holiness – to the world and bring people and the world closer to God.
Judaism 
 Jews do the mitzvot to sanctify the physical world and the things in it, such as food and drink, clothing, and natural activities such as sex, work, or seeing beautiful sights.
Judaism 
 Before doing many acts, such as eating, Jews say a blessing – a short prayer –  that God makes and gives a person the things that they need for life.
Judaism 
 Jews believe that they must do the mitzvot with happiness and joy because the Bible says “Serve God with joy; come before God with singing” (Psalms 100:2).
Judaism 
 They say that worrying takes people away from joy and they will not see the beauty and good in the world.
Judaism 
 The Talmud and later books call these mitzvot “commandments connected to the Land” because Jews can only do them in the Land of Israel.
Judaism 
 For example, Jews give gifts to the poor or the priests from their fields every year, take fruit or animals to the Temple in Jerusalem, and must stop working on the land every seven years (the “shmittah” – sabbatical year).
Judaism 
 A Jewish belief is that God created the Earth from Mount Moriah in Jerusalem in the Land of Israel, and He is always closest to this land.

Judaism 
 It is named after Abraham's grandson, Jacob, who was also called Israel and who was the father of the twelve tribes.
Judaism 
 The land is also called “the Promised Land” because in the Torah, God promises to give the land to the children of Abraham (, , , ).
Judaism 
 The rabbis of the Talmud understood from the Torah () that it is a “mitzvah” for Jews to live in the land of Israel.
Judaism 
 This is usually translated as "diaspora" (a place where people are scattered), but the word more closely means "exile".
Judaism 
 The story of leaving Egypt, called the Exodus, is very important in the way the Jewish people understand the world.
Judaism 
 The Torah tells how God took a group of slaves, the Israelites, from slavery, and tells them how to be His partner to build the world.
Judaism 
 The prophets taught that God would send a person to the world who would help all the people of the world see that God is the maker, king of the world and has supreme power.
Judaism 
 The Book of Isaiah says the Messiah will be a just king who will unite the Jewish people and lead them in God's way.
Judaism 
 Other Jews believe in a future time when justice and peace will come through the cooperation of all people and the help of God.

 Jews believe that to know what God wants them to do, they must study the books of Torah and its laws and do what they teach.
Judaism 
 The first five books of the Hebrew Bible (known to Christians as the "Old Testament") make up the Torah.

Judaism 
 Jewish tradition says that God told Moses what to write in the Torah, which is also called the Five Books of Moses.
Judaism 
 The Ten Commandments are special because they were heard by all of the Jewish people at Mount Sinai.
Judaism 
 The three parts are the Torah, which is the first five books; the Nevi'im, which are the books of the prophets; and the Ketuvim, meaning the Writings, which are other books of history and moral teachings.
Judaism 
 Traditional Jews believe that God gave the written Torah and the oral Torah to Moses and that Moses told it to the Jewish people, and that it is the same today as it was back then.
Judaism 
 Liberal Jews believe that all of the ethical laws in the Torah must still be followed, but many ritual laws do not need to be followed today.
Judaism 
 It is considered good in Judaism to talk about the commandments and to try to understand how to follow them.
Judaism 
 There is no single leader of Judaism who can decide how to follow the commandments or what to believe.
Judaism 
 Even though Jews believe different things and they disagree about the rules, they are still one religion and one people.
Judaism 
 Jews who follow the religious rules called "kashrut" only eat some types of food that are prepared by special rules.
Judaism 
 They usually cannot eat many foods in non-kosher restaurants or in the home of someone who does not keep kosher.
Judaism 
 People help avoid this problem by choosing to dine with Traditional Jews in a kosher restaurant or serve them kosher food in their home.
Judaism 
 Jews can eat meat of any animal that chews its cud (food which has already been partly digested), and has split hooves.
Judaism 
 Foods bought at the store often have a symbol called a hechsher on them to tell the customer that the food have been checked.
Judaism 
 It is a well-known myth that kosher food must be blessed by a rabbi, a rabbi cannot bless a food and make it Kosher.
Judaism 
 Unlike cows and sheep, pigs have split hooves, but do not chew their cud and are therefore not kosher.
