The Jewish religion is also considered a religion of waiting, his followers are still waiting for the Messiah to free the world. Jewish face much resistance to Christianity as has been developed and many Jews killed in the same process. The difficult conditions and severity that Jews have been exposed in Europe has led to Jewish immigration to other parts of the world, particularly in Europe in search of refuge. This article will explain the historical context and religious Judaism and Jewish biblical history until today.

Background and religious

History of the Jewish religion on his return from the creation of humanity. Abraham and the Hebrews made the greatest contributions to the origin of the Jewish religion. Abraham lived in northern Mesopotamia, but when God ordered him to leave his homeland for a foreign land Canaan. obedience of Abraham God is seen here when he left his country a place that does not know. The Hebrews spent time in Egypt, where they were mistreated and used as slaves the Egyptians during the reign of Pharaoh before returning to Canaan. Most of the Jewish people were farmers and semi-nomadic herders have been organized in small tribes. In their culture, there are messengers of the existence of a God who is creator and savior of all. There was also the religious rituals and ethics that the Jews practiced with the seasons.

Abraham and the Patriarchs

The Bible begins with the book of Genesis and the book acknowledges the existence of an omnipotent God who created the world in six days and rested the seventh day. The man named Adam is the only creature created the sixth day and is created in the image and likeness of God. From the Book of Genesis book reviews, human beings sin against God several times until there comes a time when God decides to punish humanity with a flood. The only person who survived the flood was Noah and his family. After blood, God made a covenant with Noah that never again destroy the world with water (John, a). Abraham is considered as the founder Jewish community. Found no God but he was called by God and a covenant between God and Abraham, where Abraham was promised many descendants. Researchers have recently identified differences between the religion of Abraham and the patriarchs and the religion of Moses. Abraham is considered refer to God in general terms and specific terms the issue of idolatry in the religion of Moses is completely absent Religion of Abraham. In the religion of Abraham and the patriarchs, there was the belief that sacrifice and prayer is very essential to improve the relationship between God and men (Charles and Jeremiah 236). Prayers were offered at specific locations, like a stone pillar, the sacred tree, or an alter sacred. When Abraham made a covenant with God, it was a mark of circumcision Community and finalized all the male children in the community are subject. Until today, every child circumcised on the eighth day in the synagogues.

Journey from Egypt to Sinai and Moses Pact

The Hebrew tribes served as slaves in Egypt, where they moved when famine struck the region of Canaan. They cried to God to deliver them from oppression taking place in them. God called Moses and gave him the task of freeing his people from the land of oppression to the Promised Land. When Moses came to Egypt, the king has refused to release the Israelites, but God had heard the cries and prayers of his people and the Egyptians are infected by parasites that the king has given no options other than the liberation of the Israelites. When the Israelites left Egypt, The king ordered his army to follow them and when they reached the Red Sea, God drowned all the army so that Jews could escape (Stephen, 236). He led the Israelites a journey of forty years to reach the promised land. The Jews attributed to a Moses to lead them to the desert could starve, but along the way, God provided the Israelites with food and water free. When they reached Mount Sinai, Moses left foot the mountain and climbed the mountain to receive the commandments. Here, God the terms of the covenant between God and the children of Israel was established and nation of Israel was established as God. A journey through forty years, God has remained faithful tom the Israelites, even when they turned to worship idols and Moses blamed for experienced hunger. Moses was the winner, even if the appeal was dismissed at first said its mission of God. He emerged as a great leader in religious affairs, political, legislative and military matters. At Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments are meant to guide the Israelites in their daily life (Louis, 346). When Moses returned from the mountain, found the Israelites worshiped idols and as a result of the anger he thought, from the commandment and broke into pieces. The content of the partnership includes loyalty that the Israelites must turn to God who has saved from slavery in Egypt, the prohibition of idolatry, and also contained the festivals and rituals that the Israelites were observed as a celebration of God's provision for them (John 1).

Conquest of Canaan and the Judges

When the Israelites came to their promised land, some leaders have been appointed by them and these leaders were known as judges. Unfortunately This period was dominated by the worship of idols and apostasy that the covenant between God and the Israelites was totally against it. But many changes have been built by the God of Israel, where the Israelites had to make sacrifices and worship of God. Many priests have been also known as society, including the Levites and the Levites made sacrifices in temples which were built by the God of Israel (John 1). A house was also built for the Ark of the Covenant in the Ark of the Covenant has been given the maximum protection. Priest Eli's family acted as staff members of this house was built in the sanctuary of Shiloh.

Saul, David and Solomon

Even after reaching the Promised Land, the Israelites were still enemies and thus a means of defending their community against these enemies is necessary. The solution will be a centralized authority was an army that has been organized so that could give the right approach to deal with external enemies. The Israelites had the opportunity to sense God to protect Israel and another option to reject the kingship of God. Prophet Samuel appointed the first king of Israel. When Saul defeated the Ammonites, was appointed the first king and ruled the community of Israelites small town called Gibeah, which was north of Jerusalem. During the reign of Saul, many conflicts have arisen between him and the Prophet, and Prophet Samuel, who had much power over the kingdom. Saul was succeeded by King David, whose reign has helped resolve differences between Saul and the prophet Samuel. David understood the political and religious authority in his house and the descendants of kings and all others were to rule in Jerusalem (John 1). David's son Solomon succeeded his father at an early age. David Solomon independently selected to have other children greater than expected to succeed him. King Solomon of Israel was nearly forty years and during this period, the monarchy of the Hebrews had the highest rating. Solomon's reign was very prosperous, especially during the first half of his reign. Solomon was the person who was to build a temple the god of the Israelites. In the second half of his leadership, dominated the idolatry that resulted from his marriages. The Bible says that Solomon had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. Solomon married the daughter of Pharaoh of Egypt is at the head of a relationship between the Israelites and their enemies, the Egyptians.

Divided monarchy and exile

When the role of Solomon has ended, the nation has been divided into the northern kingdom known under the name of Israel and the southern kingdom known as Judah. The northern kingdom was ruled by the Assyrian king Shalmaneser while the southern region was under the Babylonian army. The division into small groups politico-religious Israelis, including the Pharisees and the Sadducees (John 1).

The destruction of the Temple

Several reasons led to the development of the Seleucid kingdom. Among them, the defeat of the Persians by Alexander the Great, the death of Alexander the Great and the division of the empire of Alexander by left general. The relationship between religious Jews and Hellenized Jews continued to deteriorate and this led the Seleucid king after the prohibition of certain Jewish rites and religious traditions. Following bans Orthodox Jews protested under the leadership of the Maccabees. The result of the revolution has been the formation of Hasmonean dynasty, which was a religion Jewish Independent (John 1). A civil war led to the disintegration of the Hasmonean dynasty. Some people do not want to be ruled by kings, but by theocratic clergy, and these people have sent their requests to Roman authority. Judea was established as an independent kingdom Roman at the beginning, but later turned into a kingdom and very brutal abuse themes of Judea. Many residents of Judea has come to rebel Light Filed against the leadership of Roman rulers of Judea. The Roman emperors beat the inhabitants of Judea and much of the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed and most objects that are kept in the temple as the menorah were also stolen. After the defeat, members of the community of Judea continued to live in their former country and has also enabled the practice of some of their rites and religious practices. During a long period of time that the Jews were not allowed to enter the city of Jerusalem. However, during the seventh century, when the Persians were rebuilding the destroyed city, Many Jews lived in the same city, regardless of the ban (John 1). The domain name Roman is part of other issues such as preservation of tradition in a better situation, combined with the Greek society and thought, people from different regions, etc. can now be at peace with them, regardless of their tribal groups.

The fall of Rome

A number of laws have been approved by the Empire Eastern Roman who had all the civil rights of individuals who have been unfaithful. The existence of unbelievers as was also complicated by the laws and from most non-believers had no choice but to flee for their lives. When they were deprived of their civil rights, means that most of their freedoms have been reduced and living like prisoners. The Jews have suffered in the hands of the iconoclastic emperors believed that they certain trends were heretics with Jews. In and protection and they could now live his life while in a foreign country. Empire Roman-grew increasingly stronger and the relationship between themselves and continued to expand its neighbors (John 1). In contrast, the Western Roman Empire increasingly weak and still feel victims of the barbarians. The Jews continued to practice their faith peacefully and have no problem in their lives.

The High Middle Ages

Initially, the church law does not recognize the unbelievers as human beings and humanity is viewed with great discrimination. In the early ninth century, the church came with certain laws that are clearly addressed the issue of believers and unbelievers treatment. Previously, the believers and the Jews could not interact in some way and this has helped create a gap between the two religions has been very difficult to overcome. The challenge for the church experience in conducting their financial transactions integration Jews of his inner circle of believers. The church could not get the money borrowed through loans that would be subject to interest and the loan that you can find people of different faiths. These experiences of the Church led to the rapid acquisition of the influence Jews. All the pleasures of Jews from their homes or in their own environment. In addition, the only way to acquire knowledge through their own composition and literature. However, the Jews of all necessary sacrifices and devoted himself entirely to his nature and strength for the success of their literature (John 1). Jews in the Western Region is facing severe conditions depends on the changing political conditions. The Jews who were in Italy during Rugi displaced by the war through many dark days. In this case, the difficulties encountered since the Roman emperors were largely respected the laws and citizens. The laws of the emperors could not tolerate the practice of the Jews, contrary to the Catholic faith in the fact of the Jews influences. In places such as the Pyrenean peninsula, the Jews had lived peacefully in large quantities for many years. The Jews also enjoyed Peace in the same land has been occupied by Alani, Swabians, Visigoths and Vandals. However, the status of peace ended abruptly when the Visigoth kings collected in Catholicism and wanted to convert all its citizens a single faith. The first Jews accepted the faith persevered and hoped that the conditions would remain difficult for a short period. Some of them were baptized by force in order to be allowed to remain in the region. Later, the Visigoths had insisted that even those who have been baptized by force can not hardly had any choice but to remain faithful to the Christian faith.

Later, the Jews conquered the Arabian Peninsula and welcomed the earth. For Jews who had been completely renovated, and its desire to maintain the faith of the Christian religion, the church offers maximum protection for them and protected them from the mandatory conversion. Pope once wanted to protect his kingdom and the temporal power and sought the support of the Carolingians, but there was no change in conversion policy. Charlemagne used Church to unite elements of his kingdom, which collapsed and is also used in the transformation of the church the old Roman Empire into a Christian Empire (John 1). He also met all the German races who were there during his reign and helped resolve. When he died, most of the restrictions in the church of believers have been observed and have not been abused a lot.

Crusades

The Jews endured many hardships and difficult times, while in the different kingdoms that practice Christianity and they are only indications of the hard times that befell them during the Crusades. During the Crusades, the Jews in peace with the experience of actual torture at the hands of those who claim to be believers. The believers have no place for any person not a member of their religion. The rights of worship did not exist then, and this has led to great suffering by the Jews. The First Crusade of 1096 led to the destruction of all communities Jewish women who have flourished in the Rhine and the Danube (John 1). The Second Crusade took place in 1147 when Philippe Auguste of France treated the Jews with the extra gravity. The Third Crusade in 1188 has greatly affected the English Jews. Many trials are conducted in England and the end result was a prohibition for any Jew be seen in England. After about 365 years the Jews were allowed to settle in the British Isles. The Jews also suffered other attacks and heavily oppressed by the Crusades of the pastor in 1251 and 1320.

The persecution and slander of blood

All work Jews have been made were justified in the crimes against them. The Jews were held responsible for all the crimes they are charged each year who have suffered abuse. The Jews have also been falsely accused of dishonoring the host of believers who are considered as representing the body of Christ. All the misfortunes that have occurred in this period is for Jews and believed that if it were not for them, would could not be much peace between religions. The plundering raids of the Mongols were also established. The Jews were accused of poisoning the wells when the Black Death killed so many people in Europe. It was an invention intended to show how the Jews The Jews have the right to own property and be protected by law as any other individual. The emperor and could present the Jews and all their property in the cities or princes. The court could fight for the rights of Jews and greed, jealousy and mistrust between the communities could now be reduced. Also unearned suffering that Jews have crossing can now concentrate and innocent Jews may now escape prosecution. The judicial process if it is done well can lead to participation of various members of the community in community work, helping people leave as family members, and help reduce conditions difficult than the Jews were in the hands of the believers.

Evictions

In all Western countries where Christianity is practiced, a dark Jews has been described and the Jews were seen as the source of all evils. Many Jews were sent to different places at different times. In 1290, almost all Jews who resided in England were expelled, others were sent to France in 1394. Also between 1350 and 1450, many Jews were sent to the districts largest in Italy and Germany. The Jews who were expelled from different places, they fled in different directions in search of peace and refuge (John 1). They were looking for places where they can be tolerated and faith could be respected. The most of them preferred the Slavic kingdoms newly formed. In the Slavic kingdoms, their practices may be tolerated and confessions are still tolerated. Rules of these kingdoms have allowed Jews to take refuge true for a long time, the Jews had a great prosperity. The study of the Talmud was very strong and the Jews here can now practice their faith without fear. The Jews learned the German language and many their customs and practices. However, it did not abolish their religion, but continued to practice their faith. To date, the practice of customs they had learned German Jews in the environment of Slavs and speak the German language all enthusiasm. Also under the Muslim rule in the peninsula of the Pyrenees, especially Jews have received the proper treatment they have been allowed to practice their faith with the necessary freedom

The efforts of the Jews to withstand the difficulties encountered by Christianity, and although some progress has been made, they could not offer a real resistance Christianity. The power of Christianity had advanced so that Jews could not work had a huge impact. Arab culture has been lost numerous jobs, especially following the fall of political power and the conversion of Jews in Western culture (John 1). Most Jews living in the south of France or in part and those who live in northern Spain has accepted the western culture and it has really weakened the Arab culture. The Jews of Spain studied the secular sciences force and enthusiasm to learn as they did with the Bible and Talmud.

As the Jews continued to practice their faith, the Church has increased quickly and vigorously to some extent that Jews could not practice their faith freely. The church leaders were determined to convert all Jews to Christianity and becomes all could win. The first step for the church to win these people were offering religious writings and religious disturbances. The intention of the church to put in writing and religious unrest to undermine the Jewish faith has not been a great success and thanks to the determination that the church had in the weakening, had choice but to adapt. On this occasion, the church has been very difficult for Jews to practice their civil rights. Many restrictions have been made so that the Jews were completely separated from the Christians and went to live in different parts of cities (John 1). Once again, the Jews were forced to take their emblems embarrassing on their clothes. This has led to great abuses of Jews by their fellow citizens.

The Jews were also victims of hatred and contempt for their fellow citizens. Jewish life has become increasingly difficult and, in 1391, thirty thousand Jews were murdered by a mob in Seville under the name of the fanatic crowd. In an attempt to try to run for their lives, many Jews had no other options to run and hide in baptism. The Jews who have been baptized, but continued to practice the beliefs of his father in secret. A serious question took place in the rights and confidentiality of these Jews have been widely flouted. This led to the discovery that some Jews who had been baptized still practice their faith and therefore contenders and not true Christians. Severe penalties have been conducted on the discovery that the suitors have been imprisoned, tortured by prison officers, and burned to death (John 1). This project has continued for many years and to ensure there no believers in Spain. In 1492, hundreds of thousands of Jews were expelled from Spain where they had spent their lives for more than fifteen hundred years. After his departure from Spain, most of these Jews fled to the Balkans in search of refuge and he enjoyed a little peace. Also had the opportunity to practice the religion of their parents, without restrictions. To date, these exiles were expelled from Spain retained the language they have learned in Spain and is surprising that these Jews in this country do not speak Spanish as their mother tongue.

The Enlightenment and the Haskalah

During the Renaissance period, a lot of learning and negotiations took place. Significant changes occur mainly in the Jewish community. The Enlightenment was accompanied by the Haskalah movement in which Jews participated actively in more restrictive laws that have been applied were then removed. These laws gave the Christian authorities full control of the Jews and the Jews have refused most of his civil rights. Movement also demanded that the Jews were integrated throughout the European community. Students class Jews present had the opportunity receive training in science and secular, in addition to the traditional religious education. Many Jews have also had the opportunity to identify the Jewish religion, as a result of the recovery which occurred in the study of Jewish history (John 1). conservative movements and reform movements have emerged through the Haskalah and they all fought together in the revival of the Jewish religion. These movements also pushed for the assimilation of Jewish culture in all countries that the Jews have lived. The process of rebirth of the Jewish religion was not very good, especially when other movements have begun to emerge that preaches the opposite of Haskalah movement. The resistance between these movements have led to the current divisions in the observance of Jewish laws.

As many changes have taken place within the Jewish community, experience the outside world changes just as important. The persecution of Jews was not completely disappeared in some European countries and in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed. The law proposed by Napoleon Napoleon Jewish housing in respect of equality. The Jews living in Jewish ghettos in Europe have been invited by Napoleon out of these ghettos for political regimes start-ups that were more tolerant of the Jewish religion (John 1). Many Jews emigrated to the United States Europe are due to the existence of opportunities for economic and social conditions in the United States. This is a great community which was free of restrictions that the Jews used the experience in Europe.

The Jews in the U.S.

Existence Jews in the United States dates back to the seventeenth century. However, the number of Jews in the United States by the seventeenth century was very low. The Jews first settled in the United States were shepherds in Spain and Portugal. In the nineteenth century, many Jews came to the U.S. from Germany and here, the Jews became traders and shopkeepers. Most Jews who emigrated to the United States did so because of discrimination and persecution has been conducted in countries like Germany, Europe, etc. (John 1). The severity of the abuse of many Jews in the United States As part of their religion was under and most of them have therefore chosen to launch in the U.S. in search of refuge. In the early twentieth century, many Muslims came to New York City and built several synagogues. The Holocaust in Europe led to the immigration of Jews to the United States in large quantities such as the United States have become home over the largest of the Jews (Israel, 40).

Napoleon and the Jews

Napoleon made a great contribution to the liberation of Jews from Western Europe (John 1). The Civil Code has helped the Jews against discrimination of other communities and severity has been questioned their religion. Napoleon decided to offer the Jews, Freemasons, Protestants and freedom, brotherhood and equality (Joseph 52). Some churches have been closed for years have been opened during his regime. The code was supposed to provide freedom of religion for all, regardless of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Napoleon also said the state should pay the salaries of priests of these communities. His mission to liberate the Jews started when I was at Ancona, and some people went around it with a yellow cap and armbands. Napoleon was surprised and immediately asked his officers why these people wore hats and arm bands. The officers told him that these people were Jews, caps and bracelets have been used to identify them so that night, could return to the ghetto. Napoleon ordered the Jews to remove the caps and yellow armbands with immediate effect. Napoleon also ordered the closure the ghetto, saying the Jews should be allowed to live where he wanted to live like and should also practice their religion freely. Napoleon made rules that addressed how businesses and the credit for the Jews to be made. Previously, Christians were not allowed by law to practice usury. Indeed, an assembly of Jewish leaders, who was appointed represent the Jewish community in the process of reconciliation Jews on their policies. All debts owed to Jews have been canceled.

Holocaust

Prejudice against Jews because of their ethnicity and culture continues in Europe, including the 1920 and 1930. Adolf Hitler was an anti-fans I could not change opinion on the treatment of Jews. In Germany, the case was more difficult. In 1933, the Nazis organized a boycott was to protest all companies belonging to Jews in Germany (Max & Gustav, 23). It was a one day boycott aimed at the elimination of all Jews Business active. The mission took place in 1939, when all the other small enterprises in Germany have been closed in Germany. In almost all cities where Jews lived, they were concentrated in a very small and separated from the rest of the members of the city.

During the First World War, the Nazis in Germany found all borders and restricted the movements of Jews in various fields. In addition, some ghettos were created for Jews and Jews were forced inside ghettos and could not live in other areas in the city. These ghettos are worse than prison because that after a short period of time, Jews who live in these ghettos have died of hunger and disease. The executions continued when the Nazis and their collaborators performed these Jews. The concentration camps have been identified in Germany itself, where many Jews died and others suffered the worst human the man who can not tolerate today (George, 2009).

The mass murder of Jews in Soviet territory took place at the invasion of the Soviet Union. All communities in the region have been expelled from the area, stole all their possessions and drawn on the edge of ditches. In 1941, Hitler decided to kill the Jews en masse all that existed in Europe and completely eliminate its existence. In 1942, However, several Nazis met to discuss the problem of Jews and come with a solution to end the Jewish problem. The government has proposed a plan to expel all Jews in the ghettos and in occupied territories are highly concentrated. The Jews were taken to extermination camps also known known Vernichtungslager. Among them, seven camps: Belzec, Auschwitz, Chelmno, Maly, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Trostenets TreblinkaII (George, 2009).

Aftermath Holocaust and Israel

Jews were murdered in large numbers during the Nazi Germany regime between 1941 and 1945. Millions of refugees left homeless by the Holocaust and its consequences. Most refugees were left homeless from the Jews who had lost most, if not all members of their families and their property (John 1). These Jews also face a persistent rejection in their country of origin because of their ethnic and cultural. The Jews are interested in finding a place where they could live in freedom, without discrimination and restrictions. In its efforts, most of they were to join the Zionist movement. The refugees claimed that Zionist Jews living in Germany and the Nazis had been abandoned by other countries which led to mass murder that took place among the Jews who lived here. In fact, they argued that if the Jews had a state during this period, the magnitude the Holocaust would not have been as severe as it was. Zionism has grown rapidly and after strategy shift was adapted to the Holocaust that led to immigration of many Jews to the land now known as the state of Israel.

Today, Judaism

Geography

Today, Jews are scattered around the world. However, most Jewish communities are now in the United States with a population of approximately 5.7 million people. Most of them came to the U.S. from Spain where they were killed by culture. So anti-Semitism and the pursuit Jews in Europe have contributed to immigration to the United States (John 1). Most Jews came to America in the nineteenth century and built synagogues of God. Many Jews are also in Western Europe and Western Europe. Africa is home to between three hundred thousand Jews. The Jews are in many communities, but most Jews belong to communities of Israel and Palestine. Many Jews live in states where there are different communities, with the exception of Israel, a Jewish state (Marie, 47). Most of North Africa and Middle East were once the homes of Jews, but when Israel was created, many Jews have emigrated to this state. However, some countries such as Iran, Morocco and Turkey also remarkable number of Jews. When Shalmaneser king of the Jews deported to Kurdistan, some traditions have been developed by Jews and new residents many Kurds converted to Judaism. Here, the equality of all peoples has been observed and women now enjoy much freedom. In Indeed, this land is the first woman emerged.

The purpose of the Jewish religion, practices and beliefs

The Jews still believe that the promised Messiah has not been sent. Therefore, it is a religion of waiting, where they await the Messiah came to earth to deliver them and security and justice in the world (John 1). Several changes have occurred regarding the question of the Jewish Messiah, and some have accepted the Messiah as a symbol and not someone who practically be sent to them free. However, a group of Jews still believe that God sent the Messiah and are still waiting his coming. The Jews use the Torah as sacred and which corresponds largely to the Old Testament of the Christians. The Talmud is completed in the V century contains the oral law and interpretation of the law.

The Jews celebrate many festivals and among them is the weekly day of rest held Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon (Raymond, 25). The various Muslim communities celebrate the Sabbath in the same way, but differs from rigor that some secular community activities taking place while others do not. Several other festivals are held once a year. Some of them include: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which corresponds to Chanukah Christian Christmas. Other festivals designate when the Jews were allowed out of Egypt and their exodus. Others are held once in life, such as circumcision boy when the child is eight days. This acts as a reminder of the covenant which God made to Abraham. Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah marks a time when boys adulthood at the age of thirteen and girls of the age of twelve years, respectively. The burial of a dead Jew takes implemented with immediate effect of the high death and the family begins to Shiva who is a Seventh-day period of mourning.

The religion has certain rules Jews and prohibitions which are mostly in foods (John 1). These rules are seen by communities as being complex. For example, Jews are not allowed to eat pork and shellfish that all other communities. Eating food is a sin according to Jewish law and is prohibited. As slaughter of animals, an animal must be killed by a Shehitah the accepted method involves cutting the animal's neck and leave the animal aware of bleeding to death. Some types of foods such as milk and meat should not be taken together.

Since time immemorial, the Jews expected to read at least three times a day that is made to the memory of those moments that have made sacrifices in the Temple in Jerusalem (John 1). Shaharith is the name given the morning prayer, minhah means the evening prayer, while prayer is Maarib the afternoon. The Jews, so far, I think everyone world has its origin in God. The Jews were forced to recite the blessings before they do anyway. The Torah is divided into sections so that by one year, it is possible that people who went through the Torah. The rabbi led the congregation in reading each section of the Torah and every day after reading a prayer from the book of prayers.

Organization

The Jewish congregation is led by a rabbi who is closely related to a priest in Christianity. The leader elected by the congregation in the Orthodox and, unless a woman can not take a position rabbi, the rabbi can be a man or a woman. The prayers are led by a competent person for the name of the singer services. Many activities take place in the synagogue is a sacred place for Jews. The religious activities, religious services and community events held in the synagogue (John 1). Orthodox are very strict on how the activities in the synagogue were carried out, even in the synagogues, women should not sit in the same side with men. The Jewish religion allows its members to perform certain rituals at home as well. Some annual festivals, rituals Saturday, and prayers can be performed daily at home.

Sacred Places

There were interruptions in Judaism, especially in the diaspora that has led to little development of sacred places by the Jews. Even today, Jews living in European countries feel still in exile. They have a culture of migration and continue to migrate to locations where the Jews exist in large number. The sacred place for Jews in Jerusalem is to dominate and it is mainly formed by the temple was destroyed (John 1). The Wailing Wall, which remained after the destruction called the holiest place in the world (Helen, 240). Another important site sacred to the Jews in Palestine is Hebron, where Abraham remains were buried. Site Mount Sinai, where Jews and God made a Covenant is also important for their faith. The oldest synagogue in Tunisia is in Africa and is regarded as a place saint.

Conclusion

The history of the Jewish religion the way back to the days of Abraham. Abraham is considered the father of the Jewish religion and, although did not discover the same God, was called by God and sent to a foreign country who do not know. God made a covenant with Abraham and promised him many descendants. Brand alliance is circumcision, who practices the Jewish religion to date

When the Hebrews cried out to God to free them from slavery in Egypt, God heard their cry and sent Moses to lead them to the Promised Land. A long journey that took forty years has been a success even if there were complications in disease and hunger. At Mount Sinai, God made a covenant with Moses, whose contents included the loyalty that the Israelites had to turn to God who saved them from slavery in Egypt, the prohibition of idolatry, and also includes festivals and rituals that the Israelites were observed as a celebration of God's provision for them. In Canaan, the Israelites been led by judges when the region was then dominated by the worship of idols. The congregation has changed many who are regarded as holy places of God, where the Israelites could make sacrifices and worship the God who freed them from slavery. The tribe of Levi produced many kings and a house was built for the maintenance of the Ark of the Covenant.

When they reached the Promised Land, the children of Israel demanded a king to help them overcome their enemies. Prophet Samuel appointed Saul as the first king of Israel. Saul was replaced by King David, whose reign has helped resolve the differences that existed between Saul and the prophet Samuel. . David understood the political authority and religion in his house and the descendants of kings and all others were going to rule in Jerusalem.
