JUDAISM

is the world's oldest monotheistic religion, dating back nearly 4,000 years.
Followers of Judaism believe in one God who revealed himself through ancient prophets
The history of Judaism is essential to understanding the Jewish faith, which has a rich heritage of law, culture
and tradition.
Jewish people has been called “people of
The book" in reference to The Hebrew bible
THE HISTORY OF JUDAISM
 HOLOCAUST
(This means is "sacrifice by fire")

 A holocaust is a religious animal sacrifice that is

completely consumed by fire. The word derives
from the Ancient Greek holokaustos which is used
solely for one of the major forms of sacrifice, also
known as a burnt offering.
THE STAR OF DAVID
 It is recognised as the
symbol of Jewish
Community and is
named after King David
of ancient Israel. Jews
started to use the symbol
in the Middle Ages.
 GOD OF JUDAISM
(YAHWEH)
Traditionally, Judaism holds that
Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob and the national god of the
Israelites, delivered the Israelites
from slavery in Egypt, and gave them
the Law of Moses at Mount Sinai as
described in the Torah.
Abraham is given a high position of respect in three major world faiths,
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In Judaism, he is the founding father of the
covenant, the special relationship between the Jewish people and God –
leading to the belief that the Jews are the chosen people of God.

He is best known for the depth of his faith. In the book of Genesis he obeys unquestioningly the
commands of God and is ready to follow God's order to sacrifice Isaac, a test of his faith, though in
the end God substitutes a ram for his son.
In Jewish tradition Abraham became identified as the 'first Jew'. He is depicted as the embodiment
of the faithful Jew upholding God's commandments. Traditionally, Jews see themselves as the
descendants of Abraham through his son Isaac and Jacob, his grandson

Historically, Abraham became known as “The Father of Many Nations” through a promise given
to him by God. Throughout history, he has been venerated by three different religions: Judaism,
Christianity and Islam. It was Abraham's faith in the “one t
•rue living God” that has built kingdoms and divided nations.

 THE BOOK OF TORAH
Torah is often restricted to signify the first five books of the Hebrew
Bible (Old Testament), also called the Law (or the Pentateuch, in
Christianity). These are the books traditionally ascribed to Moses, the
recipient of the original revelation from God on Mount Sinai.

WHY IS THE TORAH DIVIDED INTO FIVE

BOOKS?

The division of the Torah into five books is not mentioned

anywhere in the Bible, yet by the early first millennium C.E.,
the Torah became known by the Greek name Pentateuch,
literally “five scrolls.” When and why was this division
created?
The Torah is considered by Jews to be the
holiest part of the Tenakh. It was given by
God to Moses on Mount Sinai. Because of
this, many Jews see it as the direct word of
God.

The Torah contains the five books of Moses

 Five books of torah
Genesis
The Book of Genesis is the first book of the Hebrew
Bible and the Christian Old Testament. Its Hebrew
name is the same as its first word, Bereshit.

Exodus
The Book of Exodus is the second book of the
Bible. It narrates the story of the Exodus, in
which the Israelites leave slavery in Biblical
Egypt through the strength of Yahweh, who has
chosen them as his people.
 LEVITICUS

The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Torah

and of the Old Testament, also known as the Third
Book of Moses.
 BOOK OF NUMBERS

The Book of Numbers is the fourth book of the Hebrew Bible,

and the fourth of five books of the Jewish Torah. The book has a
long and complex history; its final form is possibly due to a
Priestly redaction of a Yahwistic source made some time in the
early Persian period
 DEUTERONOMY

Deuteronomy is the fifth and last book of the

Torah, where it is called Devarim and the fifth
book of the Christian Old Testament. Chapters 1–
30 of the book consist of three sermons or
speeches delivered to the Israelites by Moses on
the Plains of Moab, shortly before they enter the
Promised Land.
WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF
TORAH?

one book, along with Ezra and Nehemiah which form a single unit entitled
"Ezra–Nehemiah"

 WORSHIP

One of the key mitzvah is worship, which is a duty as part of

the covenant with God. Worship is also important to Jews
because it brings the community together. Worship in the
synagogue includes daily services, rites of passage and
festivals. Worship at home includes prayers, Shabbat meals
and study.
