The founder of this religion Judaism is Abraham. He was also the first Jew. The year was about 3,900 years ago. There are a couple of religious leaders for Judaism. One example is the rabbis, they are the leaders of the synagogues. Another example is Abraham and he was the founder of the religion. Also there is Moses who gave the Jewish religion and people the Torah around 1250 B.C. and lastly the Jewish god. The place of worship for Judaism people is called a synagogue. A synagogue is a building or place where Jews meet for worship or for religious study. It usually contains a torah scroll. This religion began in the Middle East, in areas similar to where Christianity began. But Judaism started much longer ago. It is practiced just about all over the world. The main beliefs of Judaism is that there is only one god and that is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. And each name means something else. Omnipotent means having unlimited power, Omniscient means infinitely wise and Omnipresent means being present everywhere at once. Jewish people also believe in humans are born pure and innocent, and that all humans are equally God's children. Those are some Jewish beliefs. Yes, Judaism has a god and one god only. The god is monotheistic. The sacred writings for the Jewish religion is the Hebrew Bible. It contains twenty-four books: five books of the Torah, eight books of the Nevi'im, and eleven books of the Keturim. The religious practices of Judaism are they pray and worship by themselves or in groups, in public or in private, loudly or in silence. I found out that they also pray from the depth of their souls, at the tops of their lungs, and from the quiet of their hearts. Some of the religious festivals are Rosh, Chanukkah and Purim. Those are just three of the many Jewish holidays. Rosh occurs between Labor Day and Columbus Day. It lasts for one or two days. It is a time to look back at the past year and make resolutions for the upcoming year. Chanukkah is the festival of lights. It is on an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. The main symbols for Judaism are the Star of David. The jewish symbol the Star of David is a star that has 6 corners and it symbolises the shield of David. David was the king of israel. Another symbol is the Menorah. A menorah is a nine-branch candle piece that symbolises the celebration of Hanukkah. One more symbols is a Yarmulke. A Yarmulke is a a skullcap worn by religious Jews.
