Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Judaism is not a race, culture, or ethnic group, with around 13-14 million Jews globally, including 6 million in the U.S. and 5 million in Israel. Being Jewish means being a Member of the Tribe, which began with Abraham and Sarah about 4,000 years ago. Membership can come through birth to a Jewish mother or conversion via rituals. Judaism encompasses beliefs, practices, and ethics rooted in the Torah. One can practice Judaism without being Jewish and vice versa. This exploration of Judaism covers its full spectrum, including its mystical and spiritual aspects. It addresses various denominations, daily practices, Jewish wedding ceremonies, celebrations, and the rich tapestry of 4,000 years filled with pain, joy, and triumph. The book highlights influential Jewish thinkers and historical figures while acknowledging the widespread Jewish communities across continents. It provides insights into the rituals, ideas, and terminology integral to the history and daily lives of Jewish people, both locally and globally.
