- Dr. Ataie's World Religions Series: http://mcceastbay.org/religions - More Ustadh Dr. Ataie: http://mcceastbay.org/ali-ataie Dr. Ali Ataiediscusses Jewish belief, tradition, and practice and their similarities and differences with the Islamic tradition.
Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions, at 4,000 years old, and the granddaddy of Christianity and Islam. But even though its teachings helped create the world’s two most popular religions, many people don’t know what Jews actually believe.
Judaism developed in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 4,000 years. Today, there are about 15 million Jews, making it the world’s tenth-largest religion.
This comparative religion talk, which summarizes world religions, was delivered at the Muslim Community Center—East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California, on August 11, 2020.

What is Judaism?Judaism encompasses the religion, philosophy, culture and way of life of the Jewish people. Judaism is a monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text (part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), and supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenantal relationship that God established with the Children of Israel. Judaism includes a wide corpus of texts, practices, theological positions, and forms of organization. Within Judaism there are a variety of movements, most of which emerged from Rabbinic Judaism, which holds that God revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah. The Jews are an ethnoreligious group and include those born Jewish and converts to Judaism. In 2012, the world Jewish population was estimated at about 14 million, or roughly 0.2% of the total world population. About 42% of all Jews reside in Israel and about 42% reside in the United States and Canada, with most of the remainder living in Europe.
