Judaism

Definition of Judaism as it relates to Religions, Monotheism, God, Monotheistic Religions

Judaism is a monotheistic religion centered around the belief in a single, omnipotent God who is the creator and ruler of the universe. It is rooted in the covenant between God and the Israelites as described in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). The adherents of Judaism are known as Jews, who follow Jewish law (Halakha) as codified in sacred texts such as the Mishnah and Talmud. Judaism encompasses various movements, practices, and beliefs, including Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Judaism. It has a rich cultural heritage with unique traditions, customs, and holidays, such as Shabbat, Hanukkah, Passover, and Rosh Hashanah. As one of the three major Abrahamic religions (alongside Christianity and Islam), Judaism shares historical connections and theological themes with these faiths while maintaining a distinct identity within the broader context of monotheistic religions.
