the first monotheistic religion, basis of two of today's other major religions (Christianity and Islam). The Jewish holy book is the Torah, which is the basis for the Christian Old Testament. Judaism, except in its orthodox form, is probably the most accepting and loosest of the major religions of the Western Hemisphere. Sadly, its followers have been persecuted and ridiculed throughout the ages, and have always been misunderstood by the ignorant.

Pronounced Joo-Dee-Izum (as opposed to joo-day-izum), Judaism is the first monotheistic religion still around today, and possibly of all time. Unlike many other religions, Judaism doesnt want you to follow The Torah exactly, and gives room for you to live your own life. There are many different forms of Judaism, but there are 4 very big ones:

The first type of jew is orthodox. These jews follow the book very strictly, such as keeping kosher, wearing kippas and lighting shabbat candles; although they still have room to wear normal clothes and appear as normal people.

Second type: Hasidic. Hasidic jews are like orthodox jews who also wear nice clothes, a hat, and have peyes (The Curly Sideburns) usually when a jew is stereotyped in a movie this is how they appear, two famous hasidic jews are The Hebrew Hammer (fictional), and Matisyahu (a Hasidic Jew who raps in the Jamaican style).

The third type is conservative: These jews follow many jewish rules, but do not always keep kosher and wear yarmulkes (another word for kippah). I used to be conservative, but my "temple" was snobby so we found a new one.

The last type is reform: Reform jews are still jews who practice their religion (or at least I do) but have adjusted to the modern world, such as wearing normal clothes, not ALWAYS keeping kosher, and not lighting sabb...

Hitler's worst nightmare

A monotheistic religion that has its origins in Levantine Yahwism (the Old Testament religion). Judaism began about 200 B.C. and places emphasis on Rabbinical teaching. The supreme authority for Judaism is the Talmud, a large collection of rabbinical writings and biblical commentaries. Judaism had its major influence in Babylonian and Egyptian religions. Judaism traces its teachings to the Pharisees, an old group of teachers from the early first century and onward to the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. It's core beliefs include the belief in one God, the coming of the Messiah, and the notion that the Jews are the Chosen People of God.

A peaceful, spiritual religion that is not at all meant to be nationalistic or greedy. A G-d-fearing monotheistic entity.

SEE: NOT Zionism.

A nice group of people who have had their wonders and culture long before the Muslims had even existed. Most of them in World War Two had been exiled by Nazis. This refers to the Holocaust. We all know that the Nazis are just a bunch of Santa Claus wannabes. Some quite good news though the Jews don't have to deal with them anymore since they don't exist as a Political group any longer. Back in Ancient times the Jews were brought to a new home which all the Muslims had to do was to just give them a home. They didn't have to get crazy about it. God gave both of us the land in the first place. The Muslims are just turning the whole thing into a problem. The Romans and Ancient Egyptians as well as more currently Muslims and Nazis have been torturing these innocent people for a long time. So why do we need more hate from you jerks? You all burn. You won't win. The Holocaust is over we rest in peace. So you call us Nazis? You call us bad people? Think about how you've been bad people and you American and Muslim haters will see that you're just as bad as the Nazis and everyone else who does this to Jews. You haters can go have a rat burger and remove yourself from the Country. Tell me how it goes.
