Judaism is the world's most established monotheistic religion, going back almost 4,000 years. Devotees of Judaism have faith in one God who uncovered himself through antiquated prophets. The historical backdrop of Judaism is basic to understanding the Jewish confidence, which has a rich legacy of law, culture and convention.

Judaism Beliefs

Jewish people believe there’s only one God who has established a covenant—or special agreement—with them. Their God communicates to believers through prophets and rewards good deeds while also punishing evil.

Most Jews (with the exception of a few groups) believe that their Messiah hasn’t yet come—but will one day.

Jewish people worship in holy places known as synagogues, and their spiritual leaders are called rabbis. The six-pointed Star of David is the symbol of Judaism.

Today, there are about 14 million Jews worldwide. Most of them live in the United States and Israel. Traditionally, a person is considered Jewish if his or her mother is Jewish.
