What religion known today as Judaism?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Judaism is the "religion, philosophy, and way of life" of the Jewish people.

Originating in the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Tanakh) and explored in

later texts such as the Talmud, it is considered by Jews to be the expression of

the covenantal relationship God developed with the Children of Israel. According

to traditional Rabbinic Judaism, God revealed his laws and commandments to

Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah. This was

historically challenged by the Karaites, a movement that flourished in the

medieval period, retains several thousand followers today and maintains that

only the Written Torah was revealed. In modern times, liberal movements such

as Humanistic Judaism may be nontheistic.

Answer 2

Judaism claims a historical continuity spanning more than 3000 years. It is one

of the oldest monotheistic religions, and the oldest to survive into the present

day. The Hebrews / Israelites were already referred to as Jews in later books of

the Tanakh such as the Book of Esther, with the term Jews replacing the title

"Children of Israel." Judaism's texts, traditions and values play a major role in

later Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Faith. Many

aspects of Judaism have also directly or indirectly influenced secular Western

ethics and civil law.

Jews are an ethnoreligious group that includes those born Jewish and converts

to Judaism. In 2007, the world Jewish population was estimated at 13 million, of

whom about 40% reside in Israel and 40% in the United States.[1 The largest

Jewish religious movements are Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism and

Reform Judaism. A major source of difference between these groups is their

approach to Jewish law. Orthodox Judaism maintains that the Torah and Jewish

law are divine in origin, eternal and unalterable, and that they should be strictly

followed. Conservative and Reform Judaism are more liberal, with Conservative

Judaism generally promoting a more "traditional" interpretation of Judaism's

requirements than Reform Judaism. A typical Reform position is that Jewish law

should be viewed as a set of general guidelines rather than as a set of

restrictions and obligations whose observance is required of all Jews.

Historically, special courts enforced Jewish law; today, these courts still exist but

the practice of Judaism is mostly voluntary. Authority on theological and legal

matters is not vested in any one person or organization, but in the sacred texts

and the many rabbis and scholars who interpret these texts.

Answer 3

There are several sects of religions of the Jews.

Generally, it refers to someone who believes in and worships the God of

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Most Jews, in concert with the teachings of Judaism, do not believe Christ is the

Messiah. Their holy book only comprises Genesis through Malachi of The Bible.

Some Jews and non-Jews do believe Christ is the Messiah. They also believe in

and worship the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Their holy book comprises

Genesis through Revelations of the Bible; and, they are generally known as

Messianic Jews or Christians.

Answer 2

The Jewish religion is Judaism, which includes all the hundreds of mitzvoth (commands), principles and beliefs of the Torah.

Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses." In this sense, the word "Torah" is meant in its wider meaning, which includes the Tanakh, the Talmud, and other classical Jewish texts.
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.
