In World Studies we were told to research different religions and find information on that religion. Now let me tell you about Judaism. To start off with their founder was a guy named Abraham during 1300 B.C in Mesopotamia. As you know all religions have followers. This particular religion has 5,602,000 people and most of them are found in the U.S. This religion
influenced the religion of Christianity. All religions have a book that they follow. This book that they
worship is called the the Torah. Religious holidays that they have are Rosh Hashanan (New Year). Yomkippur (Day of Atonement). Hanukkah also know as the festival of lights is eight days long it celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and also celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian-Greek rulers of Jerusalem. Tu B'Shevat (New Year for Trees). Pesach (Passover). The rituals and customs the that they have are they can't eat pork. They get confirmed,this means that they are ready to accept the Torah and is mostly celebrated by teens. Many religions have their own clothing. I bet you have noticed this when you see people from other religions wearing something different that you are not accustomed to see. Well Jewish people wear long robes and a shaytt (Wig). Also they belong to a Rabbi which is their leader. This is all the information I learned so I hoped you learned something from this like I did.
