Jewish - General Judaism Judaism is the oldest of the world's three great monotheistic religions and is the parent of both Christianity and Islam. The Jewish people can be defined as an ethnic group composed of the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the descendants of those who have joined the Jewish people throughout history. About 2000 BC, God appeared to Abraham and promised to bless him and to found a great nation. The Old Testament recounts the subsequent history of the Jewish People: slavery in Egypt, the occupation of Canaan, the monarchy, and divided kingdoms. The northern kingdom fell to Assyria in 722 BC, and the southern kingdom went into Babylonian captivity in 586 BC, bringing the end of the Jewish people as an independent nation. An uprising in 70 AD brought the destruction of Jerusalem and the final dispersion of the Jewish people. Thereafter the Jewish people suffered intense persecution and longed for a return to their own land. This hope resulted in the Zionist movement and ultimately led to the creation of the modern state of Israel in 1948. In North America, rabbinic Judaism is usually expressed in one of three different denominations: Orthodox, Conservative, or Reform. Orthodox Judaism strictly maintains traditional Judaism. Reform Judaism takes a fairly liberal attitude toward the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish traditions. Conservative Judaism tries to find a middle way. Messianic Jews believe Jesus is the Messiah.
