What Is Judaism?

As one of the world's oldest, still-practiced religions, Judaism has an illustrious history of fascinating--yet often misunderstood--beliefs and practices. Judaism is the basis of the Abrahamic religions, and as such influenced the core teachings of Christianity and Islam. The beautiful, informative spreads in this volume offer readers a direct, yet thorough survey of Judaism's history, practices, and teachings. The significance of Rosh Hashana, Passover, and other Jewish festivals is covered, as well as the atrocities carried out against Jewish people in history, including the Holocaust, as readers learn about the antisemitism that still exists today.
