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.

Religious Jews live by the Torah, by obeying its commands and beliefs.

Some examples of the commands:

  • Putting on Tefillin (phylacteries) in the morning

  • Saying the Shema-prayer

  • Sitting in the sukkah during Sukkot

  • Avoiding leavened products in Passover

  • Keeping kosher

  • Not working on the Shabbat

  • Marital rights for one's wife
  • The Ten Commandments

  • Helping someone who is in danger
  • Counting the days of the Omer
  • Returning lost objects when feasible
  • Wearing the tzitzith-garment

  • Affixing a mezuzah to the door

  • Learning Torah

  • Keeping our rules of ethics

  • Marrying and having children
  • Educating one's children in Judaism
  • Giving tzedakah (charity)
  • Honoring one's parents

And many more.


The laws have various reasons. Some (such as the Passover) serve to reenact or remember events of our history.
Some (such as saying the Shema-prayer) serve to reiterate our belief in God.
Some of the laws (such as those of ritual purity and kosher food) serve to sanctify us.
Some (such as the laws of torts) serve to maintain an orderly and just society.
Some (such as the law against breaking a vow) serve to prevent bad character traits.
Some (such as the command to offer help) serve to engender good character traits.
And all of the commands serve to subjugate us to God's will (especially those commands for which no explanation is easily apparent).

Note that the Torah "as is" isn't exactly what Judaism observes. Rather, it's the Torah together with the details provided in the Talmud, which is the Oral Law that was handed down together with the laws of Moses. Otherwise, the verses of the Torah often lack enough detail to be fulfilled as is.
