The Jews placed great importance on family. Sons were especially valued because they carried on the family name. The son would go to a school with teachers and the daughters would stay at home and the Mothers would teach them to be good wives. by, Davin
The Jewish declaration of belief is the Shema prayer. The Shema-prayer (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) expresses our belief in One God, our love for him, and our obligation to learn the Torah and keep its commands. It is an affirmation of our part in the covenant with God. It is in the merit of this covenant that Judaism continues to exist.See also:Jewish beliefs

Which one? There are lots of them. The Amidah (the standing prayer) is the central prayer of every Jewish service. It is clearly ancient. The various Kaddishes that punctuate organized Jewish worship, serving as doxologies, are ancient. The Shema (Hear oh Israel ...) is even more ancient, as is the Baruch Shem Kavod (Praise the Holy Name) response to the Shema. Another candidate is the Priestly Benediction (May the Lord bless you and keep you ...).
This prayer, known in Hebrew as the Shema, consists of passages from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41). It proclaims that God is One, and reminds us to keep His commands.

There are a number of mitzvot (Torah-commands) which we keep every day, such as tefillin and the Shema-prayer, which (among other purposes) commemorate (as does Pesach) the Exodus from Egypt.
1) Reading the Torah in the synagogue and studying it at other times. In those countries where there were zero Torah-scholars, Judaism died out. One example of that is the Kaifeng community.2) Keeping the laws and beliefs of the Torah. Those who didn't do this, such as the Hellenizers and Sadducees, went lost.3) Maintaining vibrant Jewish communities, with communal prayer and study, mutual help, maintaining ties between the various communities, etc.4) Remembering God's covenant and promise that the Jews and Judaism will never cease.

The Hebrew word sh'ma means to hear and to understand. The Shema-prayer (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) reminds us that God is One; to love Him; to remember, speak, learn and teach the Torah; to educate our children in Judaism at at all times; and to keep the commandments of tefillin and mezuzah.What are tefillin? Tefillin (תפילין in Hebrew) are called phylacteries in English.They are two small leather boxes, each containing four passages from the Hebrew Scriptures on parchment; traditionally worn (on the forehead and the left arm) by Jewish men during weekday morning prayer, as commanded by the Torah (Deuteronomy 6).What is a mezuzah? The mezuzah is a small rectangular container which holds a parchment inscribed with the portion from Scriptures called the Shema: "Hear, O Israel..." (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21) which reminds Jews that we are answerable to God, that we are to love Him and keep His commandments, and to be diligent to teach our children His ways. As we come into the home, we have this reminder before us (usually on the right-hand side as one enters). Etymologically, the word "mezuzot" means the doorposts, but the term has come to be used for the container with the parchment which is affixed to the doorpost.
