Short description of Judaism.

.

Originating from Abraham, a Jew born in Ur, some 4,200 years ago, Judaism is the parent religion from which Christianity, Islam and many others will later evolve. Currently, the most important currents within Judaism are: the ultra-Orthodox, the reformist, the humanist Judaism, the Karaite, the Orthodox, the conservative and the reconstructionist. Considering its rich and complex religious tradition, Judaism has never been a monolithic organization, although its various historical forms have shared certain distinctive features. The main common characteristic is that of radical monotheism, that is, the belief that a single transcendent God created the Universe and that, fortunately, he continues to rule it. Going deeper into this monotheism, the theological conviction is given that the world is intelligible because there is a divine intelligence and the result of an intentional causality that sustains it. Nothing in humanity is the result of chance; in the ultimate sense, everything has a meaning. Divine intelligence manifests itself to the Jews both in their natural order, through creation, and in their historical-social order, through revelation. The same God who created the world revealed himself to the Israelites on Mount Sinai. The content of this revelation is what constitutes The Torah (that is, the 'law'), the will of God for humanity expressed through commandments (mitsvot) by which people should rule their lives in mutual interaction with each other. and God. Humanity can become a harmonious part of the cosmos if it lives according to the laws of God, and submitting to the divine will.
