Judaism
/ˈdʒuːdeɪɪzəm/noun
mass noun
1- the monotheistic religion of the Jews犹太教。
1.1
- the Jews collectively总称犹太人, 犹太教徒。
For its origins Judaism looks to the biblical covenant made by God with Abraham, and to the laws revealed to Moses and recorded in the Torah (supplemented by the rabbinical Talmud), which established the Jewish people's special relationship with God. Since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, the rituals of Judaism have centred on the home and the synagogue, the chief day of worship being the Sabbath (sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday), and the annual observances including Yom Kippur and Passover.
