Beliefs





====Judaism is a monotheistic religion which believes in one god who created the world and all things in it. They also believe that everything happens for a reason. Judaism teaches that god revealed to Moses and the Israelites his will for human behavior. The Torrah was a gift from god and was the commandments to their lives.====
