Judaism Chapter 6 I CAN…. 6-1.4: EXPLAIN THE ORIGINS, FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS, AND SPREAD OF JUDAISM. Basic Principles Considered the 1st monotheistic religion. Founded by Abraham (Father of the Hebrews) and Moses was the law-giver and author of the first books of the Torah Holy Book is the Torah Followers are called Jews Place of worship is called a Synagogue. God – Yahweh Yahweh (God) rewards people according to their good deeds Religious Concepts There is 1 God – No others besides Him Man is created in the Image of God Beliefs Jews believe that God (Yahweh) created a covenant (promise) with Abraham. Descendants of Abraham would receive land in Canaan (modern day Israel). God sends prophets or messengers to share God’s word. God is powerful, but just (fair) People could pray to God. Jews believe that they are the chosen people. Canaan Hebrew Bible It has three parts: Torah, Prophets, and Writing It contains 24 books It emphasizes laws and rules The Bible contains art, literature, poetry, and proverbs. Torah: The Teaching (5 Books) Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy The Torah contains the most sacred writing of Judaism Represents God as a personal God – not a physical body Spread of Judaism People carried their faith to other lands when they were captured in battle. People also carried their faith if they had to leave their homeland for different reasons. Greeks converted the Hebrew Bible into Greek which helped Greek people be able to read the Hebrew Bible and convert to Judaism. Most Jews do not seek to convert people to Judaism. They believe that they were chosen to be Jews and therefore it is a birthright not a choice for non-Jews. Important People Abraham – founder of religion Jacob – Israel is named after him. The 12 tribes of Israel are named for his sons. Saul – 1st king of Israel David – 2nd King of Israel (united the 12 tribes as one country) and placed Jerusalem as the capital. Solomon-David’s son and King who built the temple to house the Torah. Moses – led the people out of Egypt and was given the Ten Commandments https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/videos/ac0ad99f-dc2d-4301-bca93038aba4b681?hasLocalHost=false Who are 3 important people and why? DO NOW Ten Commandments Given to the Israelites as they were wandering in the desert after leaving Egypt where they were enslaved for a few hundred years. God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. The Ten Commandments were different from other laws because they told how to live a “Godly” life and a moral life. No punishments were listed. Judaism is mainly practiced by the Hebrew people and today there are still adherents of Judaism throughout the world due to the conquest of Jewish lands and the dispersal of the Jewish people by conquering empires Judaism is not a religion that actively seeks to convert others Why do societies need laws? Where do laws come from? In the book of Exodus (in the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah) the Israelites stopped at the foot of Mount Sinai and Moses went up the mountain to meet with God. Moses came down the mountain with two stone tablets that are ten laws. The Commandments and other laws told the Israelites how to behave towards God and one another. These laws are still important to Jews and to many other people today. The Ten Commandments I am the Lord thy God... You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not worship false idols…(Not worship other things) You shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain... Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Honor thy father and thy mother... You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (lie). You shall not covet (desire)... anything that is thy neighbor’s.
