Tradition of Judaism

Judaism is a monotheistic religion with roots stretching back thousands of years. It is characterized by rituals, traditions and practices that have stood the test of time. The main concepts of Judaism include the Torah, the Talmud and the mitzvot (commandments). 

The Torah, which contains the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, is considered to be the word of God revealed to Moses. The Talmud, meanwhile, is a compilation of rabbinic interpretations and discussions that enrich and develop Jewish law. Together, these texts form the basis of Jewish religious practice and belief. The Torah is more than just a set of laws; it represents a spiritual and ethical heritage. It guides Jews in their daily lives through stories, laws and values. Every week, Jewish communities read portions of the Torah, reinforcing the link between tradition and modern life. Visit mitsvot (commandments) are divine instructions that guide Jewish conduct. There are 613 in all, covering every aspect of life, from daily prayer to dietary rules (kashrut).

Jewish holidays, such as Shabbat and Passover, are moments of reflection on the faith and history of the Jewish people. Family rituals such as circumcision and weddings symbolize the continuity of Jewish tradition and identity.
