What is Judaism

Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world today, whose history extends back through the ancient Israelite and Hebrew people. Through centuries of suffering, persecution, dispersion, and occasional victory, Judaism has continued to exert a profound influence around the world. Today, approximately 14 million people identify themselves as a member of this monotheistic faith. Modern Judaism is composed of different branches (or denominations), each of which has a different approaches to religious life, such as adherance to the Law.
