Judaism

Judaism (from the Latin Iudaismus, derived from the Greek Ιουδαϊσμός Ioudaïsmos, and ultimately from the Hebrew יהודה, Yehudah, "Judah") is an ancient monotheistic religion based upon the teachings of the prophets of the Old Testament of the Bible, which Jews call the Torah. It is the dominant faith in Fortress Israel.

Jews consider the faith to be the expression of a covenant which God developed with the Children of Israel -- originally a group of twelve tribes claiming descent from the Biblical patriarch Jacob — -and later, the Jewish people. It is one of the oldest monotheistic religions, spanning more than 3,000 years, and its texts, traditions and values have inspired later Abrahamic religions, including Christianity and Islam.
