Judaism

Judaism a religion advocating the living style and standards of Human Beings

Jewish people follow Judaism and we can see that most of the religious activities of Jewish people today are Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism, who differ in their approach to the basic Jewish laws.  Orthodox believe that Torah and Jewish law are by its origin divine, and cannot be changed, and to be followed in its contents.  Conservatives believe in traditional interpretation of Judaism and Reformists believe that Jewish laws are to be treated as guidelines and not restrictions and compulsions and are required for all Jews.  Judaism is a voluntary religion and believes that legal aspects are not binding any person but in sacred texts and rabbis and goes with interpretation.

History

A religion over 3000 years old is Judaism (1398-1350 BCE) claims the history, and has its base at Middle East from the Bronze Age and has emerged as major oldest religions of the Globe. Jews were none else than the Hebres/Israelites and Tanakh also refers to the same in Book of Esther which was earlier being referred to as CHILDREN OF ISREAL and has deeply shown its influence on Abrahamic Religions, like Christianity and Islam and also Bahai religion and thus has greatly made a strong stress for a Secular Western style of living and civil law.  A group of refugees from Cannanite during 1250 moved rom Egypt due to slavery claiming that God had commanded a walk over the strong Egypt and permitted Moses to make a move with his people to a safer place and moses thus received Laws of Mount Sinai from God and reached it to the people and becomes angry over Israelis praying to a Calf and destroys the tablets with the laws and comes back to the mountain and gets new Tablets and provides the same to the people for safe keeping following which the ten commandments was considered sacred bonding relation between God and Israelites.

More Description

Judaism is a religion which has a base of those born as Jewish and converted to Judaism.  During 2010 the Judaist population accounted for 13.4 million or say 0.2% of total world population, out of which around 42% live in Israel and about 42% live in USA and Canada and the remaining live in Europe.  They pray Hebrew God as supreme and contrary to other Gods, the Hebrew God has more intimacy to the people, and Judaism has the concept of ethical monotheism meaning that God is one and is more attached to acts of mankind and that God had promised Abraham to make his followers place a great living place and Jewish nation is to give back the God’s wishes for the World’s welfare.  God has blessed the Jews with intimacy between each other and to love one another, and thus transform God’s love to people which constitutes the commandments and laws which form the constituents of Judaism.

597 BCE saw Nebuchadnezzar the Babylonian king invading Judah and thus took away the young king Jehoiachin and other 8000 as hostages, and ransacked the aristocratic families, and took them as prisoners to Babylon.  However, on subsequent invasions new Axial Age vision for Jews was created, and thus the Jews were allowed in Babylon to live together in towns and villages and resort to farming and live their way of life with their religious sentiments, build their own houses, have wives and build up their own family and advised them to take care of the city where they lived.

An old religion Judaism has contributed immensely for oneness of the humanity at large.
