The Jewish World

The Jewish world encompasses the diverse community, culture, religion, and history of Jewish people worldwide. Centered on Judaism, a monotheistic faith with rich traditions and texts like the Torah, it influences daily life, customs, and ethics. Jews have a shared identity rooted in history, language (Hebrew), and cultural practices, with significant contributions to arts, sciences, and human rights. The Jewish community is geographically dispersed, with significant populations in Israel and the diaspora, maintaining a sense of collective heritage, resilience, and ongoing religious, cultural, and social development.
