Judaism...

So much for writing about another religion every day! It will probably be much easier for me to do once this semester is over and I have some free time over the summer (if I have any free time over the summer, because I am going to be working about 60 hours a week!) Anyway, I thought I would write a little about judaism and what I know about it. I wrote about Islam in another blog and I got no responses. I am sure it is because not many, if any, people read my blog... its cool though. Anyway, if I leave anything out or am misinformed with my information (because that is VERY possible... because I am going straight off the knowledge in my head... and that knowledge does let me down sometimes)... anyway, let me know. This is a learning experience for you and I.

Judaism is a religion of people (jews) who really seem to take their religion quite seriously. It is something I envy at times, to see people worship and respect their word the way the jews do.  The jews follow the Hebrew bible, which is basically the New Testament. Judaism starts off with abraham, being an 'Abrahamic religion'.  God made a covenant through Abraham and from what I understand, that is basically where Judaism starts off.  Christianity on the other hand believes that Christ was the Messiah and it was said in the bible (New Testament), that He was the king of the jews, but the majority of Jews deny this claim altogether.  Jews have a lot of interesting traditions and ways of doing things.  The hat the men wear is called the Kippah, and it is worn to remind the men that there is always something above them, being God.   I never really knew why they wore those hats until about a week ago. 

Honestly, that is the jist of what I know about Judaism.  I know that there is SO much more to know, so please enlighten me if you'd wish to.
