Understanding Judaism: Origins, Beliefs, Practices, Holy Texts, Sacred Places

Arguably the oldest monotheistic faith, Judaism worships one universal God and focuses on the relationship He is believed to have initiated with the Jewish people. Understanding Judaism covers Judaism's development over three millennia, explaining major aspects of Judaism such as early sects, the importance of Moses, the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, Hasidism, Zionism, the Kabbalistic tradition, and relations with Christianity and Islam. Excerpts from key texts add depth to this study of Judaism.
