Judah

Judah refers to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, traditionally descended from Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. It played a significant role in Jewish history, becoming the focal point of the Kingdom of Judah after the northern tribes split. The tribe's lineage includes prominent figures such as King David and, according to Christian beliefs, Jesus. Judah is also notable for its rich cultural heritage and religious significance in Judaism, as it encompasses Jerusalem, the site of the ancient Jewish temple. Today, Judah’s legacy continues to influence religious and cultural identities in various communities.
