Judaism is one of the major religious
traditions. It is the oldest of the world’s
four great religions. This religion originated
in Israel.
The Holy Book of
Judaism is Torah.
It contains the
laws of God.
The sacred symbol
of Judaism is the
star of David.
The founder of Judaism is Abraham who is
regarded as the father of Jewish people.
Jews see Abraham as a symbol of trusting
and obeying God.
Moses is also an important figure of Judaism
as he gave the Jews the Torah. He was
the leader of Jews who freed them from
slavery in Egypt.
Jews worship in synagogues. Men and
women usually sit separately. In most
cases worship takes place in Hebrew.
The most important day of the week is the
Sabbath, which is a day made holy. During
the Sabbath, people do nothing that might
be counted as a work.
The main Jewish festival is Passover. It is the time
when Jewish people remember how they left
Egypt.
Matzah is eaten
throughout this
festival.
