How Judaism Began: Abraham and the Torah

with Scribe

Ezra the Scribe sits cross-legged on a woven mat inside a lamp-lit desert tent, unrolling a long papyrus scroll and tracing the words with his finger as he reads aloud to the learner.

Identify Abraham as the founding patriarch of the Jewish people
Describe the Torah and explain why it is important in Judaism
State what it means for Judaism to be a monotheistic religion

Key terms

monotheism: The belief in and worship of only one God
patriarch: A founding father figure of a people or family
covenant: A sacred agreement between God and a people
Torah: Judaism's sacred text of laws, stories, and teachings
synagogue: The Jewish house of worship where the Torah is read

One God, One People

Judaism was distinctive in the ancient world because it taught monotheism, the worship of a single God, at a time when most peoples worshipped many gods. This belief shaped Jewish law, prayer, and identity, and it later influenced Christianity and Islam, which also trace their roots to Abraham. The idea of one God remains central to Jewish faith today.

From Abraham to the Torah

The Jewish story begins with Abraham, who according to tradition made a covenant — a binding promise — with God. Centuries later, the prophet Moses is said to have received the Torah. The Torah is not only laws; it holds the history, ethics, and stories that guide daily Jewish life, and it is still read aloud in synagogues around the world.

Worked examples

Explain why Abraham, not Moses, is called the founding patriarch.

Note the order of events: Abraham made the original covenant with God first.
Note Moses's later role: he received the Torah centuries after Abraham.
Compare the two roles to see who began the Jewish people's relationship with God.

Answer: Abraham is the founding patriarch because he made the first covenant; Moses came later and built on that foundation by receiving the Torah.

Ezra the Scribe speaks: 'Welcome, young scholar! Let me tell you about one of the world's oldest religions — Judaism. Judaism is a monotheistic religion, which means its followers believe in one God. Our story begins with Abraham, who is called the founding patriarch — that means the first great father — of the Jewish people. God made a special agreement, called a covenant, with Abraham: if Abraham's people were faithful, God would guide and protect them. Centuries later, Moses received the Torah — the sacred text of laws and stories that guides Jewish faith and everyday life. The Torah is still read and honored in synagogues today. If you are not sure what a covenant means, look at the Torah Scroll in your activity — it holds the promises and laws of that agreement.'

Recap

Judaism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. It began with Abraham, the founding patriarch who made a covenant with God, and centuries later Moses received the Torah, the sacred text still honored in synagogues today.

Reflect

Think about how a shared sacred agreement can hold a community together for thousands of years.
