Discuss the Jewish beliefs about God.

What will be an ideal response?


Judaism teaches monotheism, meaning that Jews believe that only one God exists.
How individual Jews choose to relate to God, based on this monotheism, has varied in different times and places. Some have related to God by studying and keeping the Torah, by formal worship in the two Temples and in synagogues, with piety and emotion, and occasionally even with mysticism. An important part of Jewish piety relating to monotheism is the Shema, a basic statement of faith from Deuteronomy 6 that begins "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is One." Judaism's names for God are an important aspect of its teaching about God.
