Judaism

Judaism, one of the world's oldest religions, originated around 4000 years ago in Canaan and has approximately 12-14 million adherents today. Significant traditions include the Bar and Bat Mitzvah, which marks a child's coming of age, and wedding customs like breaking a glass to symbolize the destruction of the Holy Temple. The sacred texts include the Tanakh, with the Torah at its core. Over centuries, Judaism has influenced cultural and democratic values, producing numerous Nobel Prize winners, including a significant proportion in economics and medicine.
