Description
This introduction to Judaism provides an accessible guide to understanding the world's oldest monotheistic religion. By exploring its core principles and practices, you'll gain insight into what it means to be Jewish and how to navigate everyday situations with confidence.
Judaism is rooted in a rich history that spans thousands of years, from the covenant between God and Abraham to the revelation of Moses' laws on Mount Sinai. The faith places great value on study of the Torah and observance of its commandments, yet it's also a religion of action, encouraging individuals to strive for balance between thought and deed.
With no earthly hierarchy, Judaism relies on sacred texts, religious law, and learned rabbis to guide its followers. This book will help you appreciate the wisdom of this ancient faith and avoid cultural faux pas in conversation, travel, and personal relationships.
