Produktinformationen zu „Judaism For Dummies (ePub)“
Judaism isn't a race or even a particular culture or ethnic
group. There are about 13 or 14 million Jews spread around the
world, including about 6 million in the United States and about 5
million in Israel - so Judaism clearly isn't
"a nation." So what does it mean to be Jewish?
Here are the basics:
* Being Jewish (being "a Jew") means
you're a Member of the Tribe (an M-O-T). The tribe started
with a couple named Abraham and Sarah about 4,000 years ago, it
grew over time, and it's still here today. You can become
part of the Jewish tribe in two ways: By being born to a Jewish
mother or joining through a series of rituals (called
converting).
* Judaism is a set of beliefs, practices, and ethics based
on the Torah. You can practice Judaism and not be Jewish, and you
can be a Jew and not practice Judaism.
Whether you're interested in the religion or the spirituality,
the culture or the ethnic traditions, Judaism For Dummies
explores the full spectrum of Judaism, dipping into the mystical,
meditative, and spiritual depth of the faith and the practice. In
this warm and welcoming book, you'll find coverage of
* Orthodox Jews and breakaway denominations
* Judaism as a daily practice
* The food and fabric of Judaism
* Jewish wedding ceremonies
* Celebrations and holy days
* 4,000 years of pain, sadness, triumph, and joy
* Great Jewish thinkers and historical celebrities
Jews have long spread out to the corners of the world, so there
are significant Jewish communities on many continents. Judaism
For Dummies offers a glimpse into the rituals, ideas, and terms
that are woven into the history and everyday lives of Jewish people
as near as our own neighborhoods and as far-reaching as across the
world.
