Jews believe in one God, who created the world. Jews believe that they have a special relationship with God because of covenants they have made with him, which began with God’s promise to Abraham.

Jews believe that God provides them with moral and spiritual guidance by which to live. For Jews, human life has a special, sacred status. Jews have a wide range of beliefs about the afterlife.

For Jews, practising their faith involves worship and prayer at home and in the synagogue. Being part of a community, celebrating festivals and marking rites of passage together are all important within Judaism.
