Jewish tradition encompasses the beliefs, practices, and customs that have been passed down through generations within the Jewish community. Central to this tradition is the Torah, which is the foundational text of Judaism and contains laws, teachings, and stories that guide the lives of Jewish people. Rituals such as Shabbat (the Sabbath) and Passover are significant, marking time and commemorating historical events. Another important aspect of Jewish tradition is the emphasis on community and family. Celebrations like Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah signify the coming of age for Jewish boys and girls, respectively. Additionally, the practice of kashrut, or dietary laws, reflects the commitment to spiritual and ethical living within the faith.
