Judaism has 613 rules that jewslie by. They are a way of life, not just a religion.
is a site that explains the basics for anyone wanting the simple or concise version of the essence of Judaism.
I hope this helps.

Businator: Just out of curiosity, do jews still practice animal sacrifices as in the old testament?

Indeed, brutality is the word for how its done now
Long forgotten are the days of giving thanks to the earth for her gifts........ now its an obscure ritual of giving thanks to a god for the bounty of food which is full of anti-biotics, genetically modified, mass slaughtered, packaged in carcinogenic wrappings, transported in pollutant inducing vehicles, nutritional values zapped in the microwave and usually eaten in a hurry so folk can get back on with the business of making money to pay for the privilidge..............

Hi Trish,
My favorite website is aish.com-I think you will find some good info there. For the vast majority of Jews it isn't much different than life lived by our friends and neighbors except we don't celebrate Christmas and Easter (unless in a relationship with someone who does.) There are more religious Jews of course but like more religious Christians, Muslims and Hindus etc. there are fewer of them and their lives are more circumscribed.

Hiya Hun, yes, I guess thats the top and bottom of it really, the Christmas and Easter business - so, what takes the place of these occasions for families to get together, what are the Jewish big celebrations? I dont celebrate Christmas or Easter but still love an occasion to give presents and all eat together.

We celebrate American holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, 4th of July etc. There are endless Jewish holidays all of which (believe me) are mainly excuses for eating. The fall is the most important round of holidays with more in the spring, there is a bit of a respite in the summer (probably because it was so hot in the desert 3,000 years ago.) The calendar is a lunar calendar but there is a holiday near Christmas which isn't an important holiday but is when gifts are exchanged and yes, more food is eaten. Plus each Friday night is a time when families gather (and eat.) I don't think there is any lack of celebration or food in the religion and it really is quite joyous much of the time.

It sounds like theres lots of opportunity there for the family to be close and to keep up with each others lives, that must be nice. Am I right in figuring that the Trinity wouldnt be a part of your religion? Is it just the old testament which is followed and what about the children, what are their early lessons?
Thanks so much for your answers so far
