PIRATES Introduction • - The religion of Judaism was founded in the Middle East, and it mainly affected the country of Israel. • - The country went through different time periods, so those are usually distinguished between in the analysis of the civilization. (Israel Desert)
Politics • - Original story says Abraham moved from Ur to Harran then to Canaan, a land thought to be promised to the Jews by God—this helped him move people and establish an authority over them. • - Version in the Hebrew Bible: Israelites led from the captive state. They spent some 40 years living in the desert. They devoted to a stern god there. A type of covenant was made with God that said that they would be the chosen people if they worshiped him. This is where Moses went up on Mt. Sinai and came down with tablets, on them the 10 Commandments. • - In the land of Canaan, the people were put into 12 tribes • a. Each occupied part of the country • b. Leaders of each=minimal powers, settling disputes • c. Certain people were named judges and had a special place. (Early Israel Cities)
Politics • - A stronger leader, Samuel, saw the need for more authority and put Saul in as the 1st king of Israel. • - Throne was then given to David, who saw the transition to a monarchy—starting Jerusalem. There, a census was used, as well as an army. This helped David. His son Solomon was next. • - Solomon was the golden age. • - AFTER SOLOMON’S DEATH IN 920 B.C.E., the Kingdom was split because of various problems: Israel in the North, Judah in the South. This time=final formulation of monotheism. After periods of struggle, the people came out with the core belief in one God, Yahweh. (Jewish Temple)
Intellectual (Abraham) • - Hebrew language—Semetic language, closely related to Phoenician and Aramic. Affinity signifies ethnic relationships with Israel’s neighboring peoples. • - Early Hebrew was from a Phoenician script. It was the language of early Jews, but started to get replaces around 586 B.C.E. • - 70 A.D.: system of Hebrew was only used for intellectual functions, not as a spoken language (First written Record)
Religion/Architecture • - Shifted from a desert god to the present-day form of monotheism. • - The church itself kind of created class differences, because priests and others were appointed under the system. • - In Canaan, citizens carved non-porous rock and made terraces to cultivate. • - Solomon built with slaves, and built the First Temple—central place of worship (Early Jewish Temple)
Technology/Economy • - Under King Solomon (, he and King Hiram both commissioned a ship for trade and brought back many things from the Red Sea, including gold and jewels. • Reign of Solomon was 960-920 B.C.E. • - The technology used in the ships and how the country approached trade and relations powered its economic base. • Terracing hillsides with the rock also provided new places for cultivation of crops. In theory, this would also increase the surface area of the land, thus allowing more crops to be grown in the area. The people adjusted to the land this way. • Solomon died in 920 B.C.E. (Damascus Gate)
Society • - Early part of the society practiced herding as nomads. • - Slaves were used in the later time to build their • - Priests became very wealthy and got an annual amount of the harvest for making sacrifices to God (Yahweh) for the community as a whole. The way the temple was set up changed social structure. • - Urban/rural, rich/poor gaps, some prophets accused the leadership of hurting the poor. (Jerusalem)
Society • - Lived with extended families, under the oldest male. Marriage was arranged and important—trade of goods. First-born sons got double inheritance. Women sustained the family, but could not inherit property, etc. Working-class women also participated in labor. Some even worked outside the home with more urbanization, and some got positions of influence. • - Leadership structure had 3 main groups: priest/kohen who did the laws and business; prophet/navi who told the message of God to people; and the sage/hacham who taught practicalities and wisdom
PIRATES: Effect on Foreign Lands • During its time period, the religion had a direct effect on other cultures. • One of these was Rome as when the area was under Roman rule, it affected the society of the people because they experienced these newer religions. • Direct Roman rule began in 6 C.E. • Since Judaism was the original mainstream monotheism religion not based on a rubric, it also may have conveyed these ideas in other regions. • The Jewish belief in one god even made some of the early Roman rulers mad at the society.
Chronology: The Beginning • 3760 BCE- Adam and Eve are created. This marks year one of the Jewish calendar. • 1429 BCE- Enslavement of the Hebrews in Egypt begins. • 1280 BCE- Moses leads the Jews out of Egypt and the wandering in the desert begins.

Comparison to Christianity • There is a major relationship between these two religions because they were both in the relative same time period. • The religion took root when the Romans took over their land. • Jesus originated mainly because he wanted to counter the regular Jewish ideals. From his view, the Jews had an unhealthy need for power and money.
Comparison to Christianity • The Jewish people in that region saw this mainly as a threat, because they saw these revolutionaries a threat to their personal powers. • Jesus was eventually persecuted by the Jewish peoples because they saw his ideas as corrupting their society. • Today, both religions are monotheistic and follow one same part of the Bible, that being the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament. • The Christians add the New Testament to this. • This element has changed over time because there are not as many problems between these two religions today as there were in these times. • While monotheism was very revolutionary and new back then, it is almost the normal means of religion, especially Western religion, today. These changes probably occurred because people grew more tolerable with these religions around them. • Over time, it became part of the regular framework.
Judaism Today • The role of Judaism greatly affected western culture. One example is that it led to Christianity and other monotheistic religions. In today’s world, there is the Jewish state of Israel that is home to over five million Jews. The United States is also home to a little bit over five million Jews. The role that Judaism plays today is sometimes a role of war and scapegoat. There are many attacks against Israel by anti-semetic groups in the Middle East. There have been ongoing wars between Israel and gorilla terrorist groups that want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
Judaism Today (Jewish Synagogue) • Another role that Judaism plays in today’s society is with the state of Israel. Israel trades with many nations including the United States and goods are exported and imported from Israel including special cosmetics from the Dead Sea. Also, tel Aviv, one of the largest cities in Israel, is a center that Jewish people study and it is a center of modern medicine, developing and enhancing it. Recently, Israel produced a pill that is swallowed and it has a camera that sees the inside of your body to see if there is a problem • Another role that Judaism has in today’s society is that Jews in Israel have one the most advanced space programs in the world today. Jews are constantly contributing to the global technology race. The first cell phone was also made in Israel.
Judaism Today • Finally, Judaism plays the role of a target. Since Israel became a Jewish state in 1948, there have been seven wars against Israel, all of which they have won. Also, there are constant threats of terrorist attacks from various groups including Hezbollah. Those are just some of the roles that Judaism plays in today’s society.
