While the Torah, its commands and the principles and beliefs of Judaism remain unchanged, Judaism has evolved as circumstances have necessitated. Here are just a few examples:
1) After the end of prophecy (some 2350 years ago), the Tanakh was sealed by a special Sanhedrin (Rabbinical court). It was the same Sanhedrin which placed our prayers in their permanent form (see Talmud, Berakhot 33a).
2) Purim and Hanukkah were instituted after the relevant events.
3) Certain fasts were instituted in connection with the Destruction of the Temple.
4) After the Destruction, the laws of sacrifices were suspended.
5) When circumstances made it impossible, the New Moon was no longer proclaimed by testimony; rather, the fixed calendar was instituted (around 360 CE).
6) The Talmud was put in writing (around 500 CE) when it became too hard to be learned by heart.
7) There are seven formal Rabbinical commands. These are:
Saying the blessings over food (and on various occasions)
Washing one's hands before eating bread
Lighting the Hanukkah-menorah
The Eruv
Saying the Hallel prayer on certain occasions
Lighting the Sabbath candles
Reading the Megillat Esther on Purim.
In addition, there are many Rabbinical decrees, mostly from the Men of the Great Assembly (4th century BCE), as well as later enactments.
The purpose of every one of these is to provide a "fence around the Torah," meaning to shore up something that can benefit from strengthening. An example: not handling electric appliances on the Sabbath, even if they are not connected to any electric socket.
Judaism has a long history and has changed profoundly through the last few millennia. Ultimately, Jewish religion and culture originated with Abraham about 4,000 years ago.
it has not changed, its been the same all through history.
The question as put is unclear. Please resubmit. Are you asking about the "history of the religion of judaism", "history of the development of religious judaism", "history of relgious Jews", etc.?
BOOF!
don't worry about it
Atomic Theory
The Torah is the key to Judaism. It contains the history of Judaism, its morals, laws, ideology and outlook.
Because it defines Judaism; and (among other things) it records our early history.
Judaism's greatest prophet was Moses (Deuteronomy ch.34). Today, each community has its own rabbi or rabbis, with no central leader.See also:The prophetsMore about MosesJudaism's leaders through history
Abraham Lincoln played NO role in the history of Judaism. You might be confusing him with Abraham the prophet.
the rangs,saddles are all colorful and different size. there is many things that changed i cant really name..
One way Judaism changed the world, would be that Judaism influenced other religions such as, Christianity and Islam.More importantly though, Judaism introduced such concepts as:Individual rightsFree public education (over 2100 years ago)A weekly day of restEmployer responsibilitiesHumane treatment of animalsLimitation of punishment for crimesJust judicial systems
