Judaism • One of the world’s oldest religions • Monotheistic religion that evolved in Southwest Asia • 3 branches-Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed • Not evangelical-does not seek converts • Concentrated in Israel, but widely scattered in Middle East, North Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Europe and the Americas
The Kingdom of Israel –1025BC • Around 1025BC, the Hebrews emerged from the Sinai Peninsula and into the Fertile Crescent. • Ancient Israel was located in Palestine, which was the crossroads between Mesopotamia & Egypt. • The Kingdom was constantly threatened by invaders. • The Kingdom flourished under King David & King Solomon.
David & Solomon • David was a great general • His son, Solomon, was very wise. • Solomon ruled during an era of peace & made Jerusalem a great city. • But, to pay for the buildings, he heavily taxed the people. • When Solomon died in 930BC, civil war broke out making the kingdom weak. http://lahabra.seniorhigh.net/pages/teachers/pages/math/timeline/Michelangelo_David.jpg
Two Kingdoms • The Northern kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians. The ten tribes that lived there have been lost to history • The Southern Kingdom of Judah was conquered by the Babylonians and forced into exile. • In 500BC, the Hebrews returned & rebuilt Jerusalem, but came under the rule of the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans. • In 70AD, the Romans forced the Hebrews out of Palestine. This is called the Diaspora. The Jews (Hebrews) spread out across the world. http://www.rapturechrist.com/mapisrael3g.gif
Rosh Hashanah • Means literally, the "head of the year.“ • It is the Jewish New Year. • It ushers in a period of high holy days for reflection and repentance. • A ram’s horn or shofar is sounded. (the ram is used because Abraham sacrificed a ram instead of Isaac
Yom Kippur • Means "Day of Atonement," and is the most important holy day, the last of the high holy days. • It is a time of confessing of sins, atoning or making amends for wrongdoing, and seeking forgiveness, and it comes ten days after Rosh Hashanah. • The shofar, or ram’s horn, is sounded at the end of Yom Kippur.
Hanukkah • Commemorates the defeat of the Syrian Greeks by the Maccabes in 165 B.C. • Also the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. • Miraculously, a tiny container of oil was found in the Temple burned for eight days.
Passover • A spring festival lasting seven or eight days, recalling the angel of death "passing over" the Hebrews. • As the first born of the Egyptians were taken by death of the last of the great plagues brought by God on the Egyptian captors. • A home and synagogue ceremonial meal recalls the bitter experience of slavery in Egypt and the haste of the escape, or "Exodus."

Christianity • Religion founded by Jesus. • Jesus was born in Bethlehem, small town near Jerusalem, during Roman rule. • Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah, which is the Son of God sent to save the Jews & restore the Kingdom of Israel. • Many Jews didn’t believe this.

Jesus’ Teachings • Parables – short stories with simple moral lessons to teach people kindness. • Jesus said God was kind and people who were kind and unselfish would be rewarded by God. • His teachings were spread outside of Palestine after his death by his friends (disciples) • The Romans tried to kill all Christians, but failed. • Over 200 years after Jesus’ death, the Roman emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and made Christianity the official religion of the empire.
