    • Key beliefs in Judaism

      Judaism is a monotheistic religion, which means that Jews believe there is only one God. According to Jewish belief and the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, God existed before creation, and Jews have a special relationship with God because of covenants they have made with him, which began with God鈥檚 promise to Abraham.

    • Covenant and mitzvot in Judaism

      A covenant is an agreement. Jewish people believe they have a special responsibility to follow God鈥檚 laws, (called mitzvot in Hebrew) because of the covenants they have made with him.

    • Practices in Judaism

      For many Jews, Jewish law governs all aspects of Jewish life, including how to worship, compulsory rituals and dietary laws. The Jewish place of worship is called the synagogue and it plays a major role in the lives of many Jewish people.
