Judaism

Judaism is an Abrahamic monotheistic ethnic religion that encompasses the collective spiritual, cultural, and legal traditions of the Jewish people. It evolved from Yahwism, an ancient Semitic religion, around the 6th/5th century BCE, and is one of the two oldest Abrahamic religions, along with Samaritanism. The core of Jewish spiritual and religious tradition is the Torah, a collection of ancient Hebrew scriptures, which is considered a set of teachings that encompass at least seventy, and potentially infinite, facets and interpretations. Judaism has influenced later Abrahamic religions, including Christianity and Islam, and has a variety of religious movements, including Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism, which differ in their approaches to halakha, the authority of the rabbinic tradition, and the significance of the State of Israel.learn more on wikipedia
