History of Judaism

The religion is 4,000 years old. It gave birth to Christianity and Islam. It is a monotheistic religion that worships Adonai.

Judaism started with a group of people called Hebrews. They lived a nomadic life in what is now Iraq. Abraham is the first Jew and his son Isaac and Isaac's son Jacob are the 3 patriarchs or fathers of Judaism. Jacob had 12 sons and they became the leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel.

It is interesting that Judaism is the foundation of all other major religions today.
