ABSTRACT
Hear 0 Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Deuteronomy 6 :4
The shema (declaration of belief in God)
W h at is Judaism ? Judaism is a monotheistic religion, the single most important principle of which is a belief that everything in the universe is under the direct control of the one God. Man’s purpose on this world is to recognise and serve God, live justly, perform good deeds, study the Torah and live life accordingly. Jews believe that the soul is immortal but Judaism concentrates very much more on the practical aspects of creating a just world for the living, rather than on meditating on aspects of the afterlife.
