What is the role of Abraham in the religion of juadism?

Answer 1

Judasim is the religion practised by the Jews. The reality is that the faith practised by Abraham should be known as the religion practised by all the Hebrews. All Jews are Hebrews but not all the Hebrews are Jews. Jews are the descendants of one of the tribes of Israelites. The other 11 tribes are not to be found. They are called the missing tribes. Later the faith practised by Jews came to be known as Judaism. The Samaritans still practice the ancient religion of the Hebrews. The Temple built by King Solomon centres around the Temple while the Samaritans believe that they have nothing to do with the Temple. During Christ's time the Samaritans believed that their Lord dwelt in Mountains.
