Judaism

Judiasm originated in Israel around 4000 years ago and is one of the oldest of the world’s four great monotheistic religions (religions with only one god). It’s also the smallest, with only around 12 million followers around the world.

There are large Jewish populations in Israel and the USA.

In Britain the main three types of Jews are:

• Orthodox (the most religiously observant)
• Reform
• Liberal

There are other subdivisions within these but this represents British Judaism in its simplest form.
