Judaism is the faith of people and the way of life. The best place to start is the fact that Judaism followers believe in one God. “Jews believe that God created the universe and therefore affects every aspect of what goes on with it.” The next example is that Judaism originated in Egypt after Moses freed the slaves around 3,800 years ago. “Judaism is a monotheistic religion that began in the Middle East over 4,000 years ago.” In addition to that the actual founding fathers of this religion are Moses, Isaac and Jacob. It was Moses who is said to have been eventually sent by God to free the enslaved Jews in Egypt. There is no argument that Judaism followers believe in one God and that the founding fathers are Moses, Isaac and Jacob. Beliefs Judaism is a monotheistic religion in which they believe in one god First of all they believe in only one god and they believe that he is omnipotent in the 12th century Jewish believe that god is the perfect creator and he is all mighty and his always around. Even so they believe that god is also personal in prayer an listens to their problems and understand them they that god is all around but privet in prayer .The most compelling of this religion is the role of each individual role for a Jew they have different roles they have to do to prove that they are worthy of being gods follower the way they follow these roles is by praying to god, live in peace an peace in their environment, and live with non violence .Truly this religion is different the ones we see today. The practices for a Jew is important because it prove their desire towards god. First of all Jews pray in obedience to talk and have a connection with god mentally an spiritual they believe that god listens to them . Some of the practices that they do is that they go to the synagogue( on the weekend) to pay their obedience to god they worship god because his the almighty creator an those that fallow his word an joins him. does people will join them in the heavens .in conclusion they obey god because does that fallow him will gain a reward in the havens an also so they can keep a stable like with god on their side Geography The Jewish religion originated in the holy land which has terrain that varies, and over the years has been scattered due to historical events. Firstly, Israel is considered the holy land, the land of milk and honey promised to Moses. Israel is in the Middle East, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Egypt and Lebanon. Its Capital city is Jerusalem. Has a Population 4.9 million people, mostly desert but plains and a coastline are also there. Next, during the 1940’s, World War 2 happened and with that began the holocaust. Because European Jews wanted to escape the Nazis, they went to different countries, and with that scattered the Jewish faith. Lastly, The number of Jewish believers in the world right now is 13.3 million. Out of those 13.3 million, only 4.95 million (37 %) are now living in the holy land, the other 63% 8.35 million) are living Diaspora (outside of the mother land). So, the Jewish faith has spread out of the holy land
