Judaism, the religion of the ancient Hebrews, is regarded as the oldest monotheistic religion. Its beginnings stretch far back into unrecorded history. Guided by philosophy and visions, the major Hebrew patriarchs and prophets wrote down the words that defined the Jewish religion.
Moses is regarded as the law giver. His divinely inspired Mosaic law set down the basic guidelines by which the Jews observe their faith. Mosaic laws also regulate dietary restrictions, fasting, prayer, sacrificial offerings, and other rituals. These rules appear throughout the first five books of the Old Testament that are known as the Torah, which means law. The Torah is the source of the Ten Commandments.
The Tanakh is the entire Hebrew Bible. This includes the Torah and corresponds to the Old Testament. The Tanakh contains the history of the Hebrews as well as songs and poems. Another holy book is the Talmud. “Talmud” means study. The Talmud is a collection of teachings by Jewish scholars and rabbis from the first to seventh centuries AD.
Jewish culture places great emphasis on tradition, community, and family. The Jewish Sabbath begins at sundown Friday and ends Saturday evening. Their holy days include Hanukkah, Passover, and Yom Kippur. The Orthodox Jews follow religious laws to the letter. The modern-day Reform Jews favor a less strict observance of Mosaic law. The two branches differ over definitions of what is kosher (accepted by doctrine) and proper observation of holy days.
