redeemed. This was restricted by the great council of rabbis until

Judaism is the oldest Monotheistic religion in the world. It has
never changed a word in the Torah.
Scriptures were written in Aramaic and languages which are not
spoken today. Studying these takes a very long time and
requires commentaries to read. Every Rabbi is required to pass
these scriptures down to students of each and every generation.
Jewish people wear Kippot or Yamacas to symbolize their God
is higher than them.
