What is the country of origin for Judaism?

Answer 1

Judaism is a name of a religion, not a country.

Self-identified adherents of Judaism ("Jews") have been surveyed and counted in

about 135 countries of the world, and amount to 0.2% (two tenths of one percent)

of the world's total population.

The historical homeland of the Jews is the country known as "Israel", but until

recently, they had no control and few rights in the area for almost 2,000 years,

and for several Centuries, far fewer than half of the Jews in the world lived there.

Following a series of modern political events, Israel was re-established as a Jewish

nation in 1948, and Immigration of Jews to Israel has been active since then. They

are still present in over 130 countries, but around 50% of the world's Jews now

live in Israel.

Note that Israel designates no official state religion, and there are no religious

'tests' there for citizenship, land or business ownership, voting, or the right to

hold public office.

Answer 2

The ideology, philosophy, society, culture, and religion of Judaism originated with

families who lived in the area that is now Israel. The family became a nation while

outside their home area, in Egypt, and migrated back to their ancestral home, in

the area that is now Israel. Since then, the adherents of Judaism have predominantly

chosen to live in the area that is now Israel, whenever they were allowed to live there

by more powerful nations. During an extended period of exile and persecution, they

spread throughout the world, being identified in 135 countries in 2009. By the end of

2010, just slightly less than half of the world's Jewish population lived in Israel, with

that fraction slowly and steadily increasing.

Answer 3

Judaism was founded by Abraham in the Fertile Crescent.
Abraham (18th century BCE) was born in Ur (Mesopotamia; now Iraq), where he first repudiated idolatry. He then sojourned in Harran (Syria) for several years, and then lived most of his life in Canaan (Israel). It was in Canaan that Abraham lived most of his life, made a covenant with God (Genesis ch.15), and raised a family to be the center of carrying on his traditions (Genesis 18:19).
Abraham's family carried on his teachings voluntarily. Judaism as a binding, permanent entity, was set forth between God and the Israelite nation descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob at Mount Sinai in the time of Moses (Exodus ch.19, ch.24, and 34:27).All of the above places are in the ancient Fertile Crescent.
