jewish religion and practices

The Jewish religion is a monotheistic faith that originated in the Middle East over three thousand years ago. It encompasses a set of beliefs, customs, and practices followed by Jewish people around the world. Central to the Jewish faith is the belief in one God, as well as adherence to a moral and ethical code outlined in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and other sacred texts. Jewish practices include observing the Sabbath (a day of rest and worship), following dietary laws (kashrut), celebrating festivals and holidays, such as Passover and Hanukkah, engaging in communal prayer and study, and engaging in acts of charity and social justice. Synagogues serve as places of worship and community gathering for Jewish individuals and families.
