Jewish Beliefs

The diversity of Jewish beliefs is a reflection of Judaism's remarkable history. While Jewish law determines many of Judaism's beliefs, cultural traditions, and Judaism's many religious movements all affect what Jews today believe.

This section focuses on both the common and the less familiar beliefs of Jewish thought. Readers will find articles about celebrating particular secular holidays, and the various controversial views relating to Israel's existence. Readers can also find articles on many of the beliefs that anchor Jewish holidays and traditions.

Please write me if there are perspectives you would like included in this section! Like many aspects of Judaism, the beliefs of the Jewish people are changing and ever expanding, and deserve to be included on these pages.
