    Judaism is a monotheistic religion that believes in one God who created the world. It has historical roots in Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform traditions. Jewish immigration to America occurred in several periods including from Sephardim, Germany, and Eastern Europe. Politically, American Jews tend to strongly support Israel and international communities while identifying as Democratic. They have also been influential in journalism, civil service, and civil rights organizations. Judaism values education of its beliefs and getting along with other faiths while embracing diversity within its own communities.
