Judaism
Religion-wiki — for all religions and none
Judaism is the religion of the Jews. The core sacred text for the Jews, the people of the book, is the Torah. Judaism is a monotheistic religion. There are multiple denominations of Judaism and several religious offshoots. Some of the religions with roots in Judaism are Christianity and Islam.
The Tanakh is held sacred by Jews; it constitutes what Christians call the Old Testament, except its books are not in the same order. The Tanakh is divided into three sections Torah, Neviim (prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings).
