Who am I?
 A Jew is someone who is born from Jewish mother
or someone who choose to become a Jew
 The Jew were first called Hebrew which is also
known as children of israel. They descended from
Jacob which changed his name to Israel. Israel means
struggle with G-d.
Why Am I Here?
 Judaists believe that when they do the
commandments that G-d gave to them, the world
would be a better place for everyone.
What Is My Purpose In Life?
 To worship and honor G-d because he is the creator
and had created all things perfectly.
What Defines right and wrong?
 The Torah defines the right and wrong because Jews
believe that the Torah shows how G-d wants the
Jews to be like.
What prompts my moral behavior?
 What prompts Jews is that in Torah, it is written that
whoever follows gods ways, will be rewarded and
whoever does not will be punished.
(What is death? What happens after I die?)
 Jewish can grieve freely, it’s normal for all men,
women and children to cry openly.
 Death is the end of life
 Jewish believes in afterlife but they don't really care
about it because they only care about the life that
they are living now and living to the fullest. Jewish
also believe in heaven and hell but if the person goes
to hell, they are still in the “Cleaning Process”. After
finishing the cleaning process, Jews believe they will
end up in heaven.
Jew’s G-d
 There is only 1 G-d
 G-d created everything and no one helped him
 "In the beginning G-d created the heavens and the
earth." it is not stated how G-d was created.
 G-d isn't male nor female (no physical form)
 G-d is everywhere and knows everything that we are
doing or going to do.
 G-d is father and all of us is G-d's children.
Food (Practice)
 There are some foods that Jews cannot eat. The food
that Jews may eat is called “Kasher” which mean
proper or right and the food that Jews cannot eat is
called “Tref” it means “torn” it comes from the idea
of strangling animal which Jews are not allowed to
do.
 Kasher foods are: plants, meat (cow, sheep, goat),
Poultry (Domestic bird that eats grain such as
chicken, duck, turkey), fish(fish that has scales and
fins such as cod, plaice and mackerel), eggs(only
from kasher bird) and milk from kasher mammal
Time (Practise)

if they pray together. There are morning, afternoon
and evening service every day and extra service after
the morning service on Sabbath day and the festivals.
