1. The religion of Judaism goes back 2,000 years to the destruction of the 2nd Temple. The two main eras are Biblical and Rabbinical Judaism. Biblical Judaism is the time period before the 2nd Temple was destroyed and Rabbinical Judaism is everything that came after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. During Biblical Judaism, “a landless people established a hometown in Israel and made Jerusalem the capital of its kingdom”. The Babylonians got rid of the kingdom of Judah and the 1st Temple, putting the Israelites/Hebrews into exile for fifty years.

Orthodox and Reform Jews trace their roots to a common ground which is back to the very beginning of time to when Moses received word from God on Mount Sinai giving him the Torah.

The Old Testament and its thirty-nine books were officially brought together in a single form in about 200 BC. The first five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) were the first to be established as canonical; these books are also sometimes called the Torah, or the Pentateuch. The first five books probably first occurred during the fifth century before Christ, but scholars are not exactly sure when they became official.

Due to this unfortunate circumstance, it caused a deliberate movement of the Jews into the countries outside of Palestine.

The gospel message was sent to the Jews first, which means the Hebrew background of the New Testament was primarily religious ( Rom. 1:16). In Babylon,changes to Judaism occurred because of the Jews migrating from Babylon to Jerusalem, such as, the elimination of idolatry and a development of monotheism.
