Best Answer

A deity is a god.

Judaism has only One God, the creator of the universe, who gave the Torah. The Jews do not speak his name, which is יהוה , meaning "I was, am, and will be." He is also sometimes known as Elohim, which means "God above all." Jews may also refer to God indirectly, with titles such as "The Master of the Universe."

Jews worship the Creator of the universe.


God is One. The concept of a dualism (as in Zoroastrianism), an independent Satan, multiple gods (polytheism; paganism) or a trinity of three in one, are all unimaginable in Judaism. Also, any belief that an intermediary between humanity and God should be used, whether as necessary or even optional, is considered heretical.God is non-physical, indivisible and incomparable. Jewish tradition teaches that God is beyond human comprehension; and that it is only God's revealed deeds, as He interacts with mankind and the world, that we can begin to grasp.


God is omniscient (He is aware of everything), and infinitely wise.
God created the universe and all existence, including time and space, in a deliberate, purposeful act of benevolent Creation.

God is the mover of everything. No molecule can move without the energy and direction with which God imbues it.


God is eternal; and His ways are also eternal. He is not capricious, forgetful or fickle.
God is just. He rewards good and punishes evil - whether in this world or in the afterlife.

God is ethical and moral; and He expects us to imitate His ways.


The God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the guide of history, who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian slavery.
God is the source of law, who gave the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
God is immanent and personal, meaning that he relates to humanity and hears our prayers. This is the basis of the Psalms and our siddur (prayerbook).

The Creator of heaven and Earth.


Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was and is the belief in One God. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through the Western world.

The god the Jews believe in has many names, hundreds if not thousands.

The most common are Hashem (meaning "the name") and Adonai

Judaism believes only in the One God, creator of the universe (Genesis ch.1), who gave the Torah (Exodus ch.19).

No deities, gods, demigods, et cetera.
