Judaism as a civilization encompasses the rich cultural, religious, and historical traditions of the Jewish people. It includes the study of sacred texts like the Torah, the practice of rituals, and the observance of holidays such as Passover and Yom Kippur. This civilization has evolved over thousands of years, influencing and being influenced by various cultures around the world. Central to Judaism as a civilization is the concept of community, often expressed through the synagogue and the importance of family. Jewish law, or Halakha, guides daily life and ethical behavior, while the shared history of events like the Exodus and the Holocaust shapes Jewish identity and resilience.
