Judaism

Judaism is the faith of the Jewish people, rooted in God's covenant with Abraham and the law of Moses and reshaped by the rabbis after the temple fell; we honor Israel's calling and future, reject all contempt for the Jewish people, and proclaim Jesus as Israel's Messiah and the only Savior of Jew and Gentile alike.
