Core Beliefs
One God (Monotheism)
The Torah is also known as the Hebrew bible and is the first five stories in the Old Testament. The Torah is so important to Judaism because it is the written and oral law in which God commands the people of Judaism to live (Vankin, 2020). The first ten commandments of the Torah are the most famous, but it does not end after ten in Judaism; there are “613 commandments” (Vankin, 2020) that people must follow if they practice Judaism.

Christians through out time have been accused of using blood in their communion but that is not true. Christians use the language of blood (Levine, 2017). Meaning that the bread represents the body of Christ, and the wine represents his blood.
Christians can sometimes believe that Judaism is a race not a religion (
Judaism: The Top Three Misconceptions
, n.d.).
Judaism is more about relationships with God and oneself (Corduan,2013).
