The Founding of Judaism
Judaism started roughly 4000 years ago. At the time, people living in the middle east would worship many gods. However, Abraham, a Hebrew man changed that. He demolished that idea, and stated that there can only be one god. That made the start of Judaism as a monotheistic religion. The story of Abraham is when God spoke to Abraham, and promised him land and a great nation and to make Abraham's name great. God promised to bless those who blessed Abraham, and curse those who cursed him. He asked nothing of Abraham and gave him a fortune. This is the same God that the Jews believe in.
