Essay on the Benefits Judaism Brings

When Judaism was born a lot of things in our history changed and I could say that there are good things and bad things that happened when it did but for my essay I will focus on the good side because we only like to hear those. First, Abrahamic religion is Judaism. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. It is an ancient, monotheistic, Abrahamic religion with the Torah as its foundational text. It encompasses the religion, philosophy, and culture of the Jewish people. For Jews, Abraham is primarily a revered ancestor or Patriarch (referred to as ‘Our Father Abraham”) to whom God made several promises: that he would have numberless descendants, and that they would receive the land of Canaan (the ‘Promised Land”).

Abraham is also known as the first post-flood person to reject idolatry through rational analysis. (Shem and Eber carried on the Tradition from Noah), hence he symbolically appears as a fundamental figure for monotheistic religion. I guess one of the best things that Jews did or required is we are obligated to donate 10-20% of what we earn to make the world a better place. It required us to lend money to our fellow man with no interest and to protect animals from suffering, etc. It is called Tzedaka and Tikkun Olam a Jewish concept defined by acts of kindness performed to perfect or repair the world. And up until now we still have the concept or idea of it. It help us especially those who really needed to borrow money. About protecting animals from suffering the idea about they are not here for us but they are here with us.

That is why He asked Noah to save of them because somehow we are the same. It is kindness that we need to make this world go around. Judaism taught us that men and women are equal in the eyes of God it is also forbidden to perform any kind of harassment. Everyone is equal one of the things that really changed our history because look where it got us now. Who would have thought that women and men are equal if Judaism did not taught us. We will be stack in the same spot as we are before if they had not thought of it and if people did not accept it. Women, children, poor, and other members of society were abused. Jewish system was the first one to protect the rights of those who are helpless and cannot protect themselves.

Before women are deprived to do anything for their own but because of this system it helped them to start anew. They are given a chance to prove themselves that they are worthy of something and not just what men make them. Monotheism first started in Judaism “revolutionized the concept of God,” they said. All of the other monotheist religion came from Judaism we could say that Judaism is the root of it all. Sabbath Day, if they had not invented it then we would not have our weekend. We will be doing things without a break, without a time to relax, and time to unwind. I could imagine our bodies giving up of doing too much work.
