Best Answer

There are probably many. I hope others will add to this list or correct my mistakes. Here are some:

Baptism - probably evolved from the Jewish ritual of Mikveh

The Old Testament - A Christian translation of the Hebrew Bible. Jewish sages of the middle ages influential in interpretation

The wearing of a gold wedding ring

wafers in church Communion - derived from Matzah; the Last Supper, the start of the tradition of Communion, was a Passover meal that should normally involve Matzah

Easter itself, of course, is a kind of an interpretation of the Passover; Pentecost is a kind of an interpretation of the Counting of the Omer, Whitsun an interpretation of Shavuot; Lent an interpretation of the Passover 'giving up' of Leaven;

in the sense, similarly, that

the New Testament is a kind of an interpretation of the Old Testament, the New Testament being the story of a man parallel to the Old Testament story of a people

Pope's skullcap is clearly very similar to a Kippah

Memorial candles

Many Christian denominations respect the laws of the Torah, such as laws against eating pork;

Seventh Day Adventists notably respect the Saturday Sabbath

the Catholic Church emphasizing the sanctity of Life, including the Life of the Unborn Child, has its origins in the original emphasis in the Hebrew Bible; even though some more modern Jewish interpretations are less rigorous than the Catholic Church's famous stance, some more modern Jewish interpretations areequally protective of Life

Moishe the Beadle is an allegorical reference to the Prophet Jeremiah.

The character of Moishe is likely an amalgam of individuals with whom Dr. Wiesel had contact in his youth but the reference is clear to Jeremiah whom warned ancient Jewish society of the impending destruction of the Temple and the consequent diaspora resulting from the Babylonian wars.
