"Judaism as a Civilization"

"Judaism as a Civilization" views Jewish history, culture, religion, language, and social institutions as interconnected components that form a distinct cultural identity over centuries. Rather than focusing solely on religious beliefs, it emphasizes the collective development of Jewish communities, their contributions, laws, arts, and social structures that have persisted and evolved, shaping a unique civilization. This perspective highlights how Jewish life, practices, and values have created a continuous, resilient cultural framework, illustrating how a religious group can also be understood as a vibrant, enduring civilization.
