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.
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.
