BELIEVES
Judaism consists mainly of 4 believes:
 One God: Judaism is strictly monotheistic. God is absolute,
indivisible and incomparabl, they call him Yehovah or
Elohim.
 Shekinah: It´s the presence of God. It is held by some to
represent the feminine attributes of the presence of God,
based especially on readings of the Talmud.
 Teshuva: the way of atoning for sin in Judaism. There are
several ways in which sins can be forgiven.
 Tikkun Olam: "repairing the world which suggests
humanity's shared responsibility to heal, repair and
transform the world.

Shema: an affirmation of Judaism and a declaration of faith in
one God. The obligation to recite the Shema is separate from
the obligation to pray and a Jew is obligated to say Shema in
the morning and at night.
Covenant: Sacred agreement between the Israelites and God.
The first covenant was made by God with Abraham, then
renewed by his son Isaac and Isaac's son Jacob. This covenant
was symbolized by circumcision. God was to make the Jewish
nation great and give them the Holy Land.
Kashrut: Kashrut is the body of Jewish law dealing with what
foods we can and cannot eat and how those foods must be
prepared and eaten.
Shabbat: It is a joyful day of rest, reminding of two
commandments: to remember and to observe.
Yom Kippur: It´s a day of reparation in which jews have to
fast and pray for 25 hours.
HOLY BOOKS
To judaism belong a whole series of holy books:
 Tanakh: The books of the Tanakh were relayed with an
accompanying oral tradition passed on by each generation,
called the Oral Torah.
 Torah: The main holy book. Jews hold strictly to its laws.
These laws include both the Biblical and rabbinic mitzvot
(commandments).
 Mishnah: The first major written redaction of the Jewish
oral traditions called the "Oral Torah“.
 Talmud: The first part is the Mishnah. The second part is
the Gemara (c. 500 CE), an elucidation of the Mishnah and
related Tannaitic writings that often deals onto other
subjects and clarifies broadly the Jewish Bible.
