Judaic tradition
Jewish tradition, or Judaism, is a faith and cultural system rooted in the belief in one God and the teachings of the Torah, which includes commandments and stories passed down through generations. It emphasizes ethical living, justice, community, and remembrance of history. Key practices include observing holidays like Passover and Yom Kippur, celebrating Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday evening, and performing rituals such as prayer and fasting. Judaism also values study, learning, and maintaining cultural identity through customs, language, and communal gatherings, fostering a continuous connection to history and spiritual identity.
