The same amount of seeds as all of the Jewish commandments. Jews follow commandments as well as having their own beliefs like reincarnation. 13 principles of the Jewish religion are
1. God Exists
2. God is one and unique

13. The dead will resurrect
Social Structures and Buildings
When the boy turns 13 and the girl 12 they complete a bar or bat mitzvah.By completing a bar or bat mitzvah it means you are old enough to follow all 613 commandments.. Another celebration celebrated by Jews is Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a celebration of lights so during the eight nights of Hanukkah you light one candle from the largest candle on the menorah. Antiochus, the king of Syria hated those who didn’t follow the same religion as himself so he went around the world and made all the people of the lands he conquered, all swear that they would forget their religion and follow his. Judah Maccabee and his brothers were all very strong fighters and so they formed an army to fight Antiochus and claim back their temples as their own. They cleaned up their temple and rubbed all the signs and symbols left from the religion they were forced to follow. While cleaning they found a small amount of oil to light the menorah. They thought it was only enough to last one night, But instead, a miracle happened and instead of the lamp going out it lasted 8 nights. Which is why each night of Hanukkah you light on candle supplied from the main candle for eight nights.
An Individual
Jewish people eat a fixed diet known as kosher. Foods that Jewish people cannot consume is some meats like pork, shellfish, and lobster. Jewish people classify meats like this unclean. You can’t eat sea animals unless they have all scales and hooved animals like pigs can’t be eaten. All clean animals can be eaten unless they have not been killed by the process of shechita which is a kosher way of slaughtering animals. You can tell if something is kosher by the label as shown on the slide. The last kosher rule is no meat and dairy together in the same meal, some people wait hours after eating meat to eat dairy. Foods that you can combine with meat and/or dairy is called pareve.

Sacred Texts
Judaism is the oldest of the Abrahamic religions. Its primary sacred text is the Tanakh, or the Jewish Bible, which is composed of the Torah the Prophets and the Writings. Tanakh is an acronym for these three books. The tanakh is a combination of Jewish texts, which is also a textual source for the Christian Old Testament. These texts are composed mainly in Biblical Hebrew, with some passages in Biblical Aramaic. This happens in the books of Daniel, Ezra and a few others. The traditional Hebrew text is known as the Masoretic Text. The Tanakh consists of twenty-four books.
Experiences
In judaism, when you pray it builds a relationship
ETHICS
The ethical system in Judaism is presented by the codes of positive and negative commandments. These codes study and analyses core ethical concepts. Under this system of ethics one acts in the halachah (Jewish Law) and halachah is God’s will.
Jewish ethics make demands on Jews to act in certain ways on a wide range of social, environmental, economic and personal issues.
The basis of Jewish ethics is that every human is created in the image of God.
Ethics are embedded in everything a Jew thinks and believes.
Jewish symbolism – Judaism is one of the oldest religions of the world and believes there is only one God. Religious symbols play an important role in the life of every Jew.
Here are some of the Jewish symbols and there meaning
The Jewish symbol in Hebrew is ot (star of David). It is a visible religious token which shows the relationship between man and God. This symbol is also thought to represent the shape of King David’s shield. King David was the father of Solomon who expanded the empire that David built. He is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This symbol began to be used as a symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity around the Late Middle Ages.
The Lion of Judah is the symbol of the Hebrew tribe of Judah. Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel. The tribe consists of the descendants of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob.
A Menorah is one of the most important, but the oldest symbol in Judaism. In the Jewish Temple, it was a tradition to light the 7 stands every night and clean it every morning. Fresh olive oil was filled in cups and wicks were replaced so they could be lite again at night.

Rites and Rituals
Holidays in the Jewish faith include:
· Shabbat
· Rosh Hashanah
· Yom Kippur
· Sukkot
· Chanukah (Hanukkah)
· Purim
· Pesach (Passover)
· Shavuot
These occasions are all very important in Judaism. There are also life rituals, which are birth, adulthood, marriage, and then death. The main holidays are Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Chanukah.
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year and it takes place approximately from the middle of September to the middle of October. This is because the Hebrew religious calendar is based on the phases of the moon.
Yom kippur occurs shortly after Rosh Hashanah. Sundown marks the beginning of the day, to the sun down that ends it, Jews go without food, drink, and work. During the day the Jews remember all their faults committed in the past year.
Chanukah (Hanukkah) is referred to as a “Jewish alternative” to Christmas. However, instead of being one day, it is eight days. The Hanukkah takes place usually in November or December depending on their calendar.
The first ritual is birth, eight days after a baby boy or girl is born, a ceremony is held. Then comes adulthood. The next life ritual is marriage. The Jewish marriage ceremony is called the kiddushin, or the sanctification. The marriage ceremony happens under the religious canopy called a huppah. The day after the wedding the bride and groom fast. Death comes after marriage.
