Belief systems, or religions are perhaps the strongest force in society. All of these beliefs are important to each religion in there own way. They’re what make each religion individual and special. Each of these religions had its own beliefs and sacred texts, though all shared some concepts. In the Middle East, the three great world religions-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam had both share some similarities and differences.
Judaism, a monotheistic religion, so as Christianity and Islam, originally came from the Hebrews. "They particularly exemplify the fo-cus on developing human capacity in the Sabbath and days of awe. The primary, Holy days that nurture personal lifelong the way. The Sabbath, on a weekly basis, and Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippers, an-nually, are the key periods of individual family renewal. These holi-days accomplish their goals primarily by lifting the individual out of a routine that controls, too often, deadens daily life." The Sabbath is their weekly ceremony, held Friday evenings, to celebrate the end of a workweek. Rosh Hashanah – Yom Kipper is the core that of being on trial for ones life.

There are some similarities and among the three religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all be-lieve in one God, and their holy writings share many themes and eth-ics. Each of these religions had its own beliefs and sacred texts, though all shared some concepts.

Similar to the Christian Easter celebration. When a Jewish boy turns, age thirteen into an adult Jew they know it as a Bar Mitz-vah. In order for this to happen a young teenage boy must attend Hebrew school. They usually take place a couple times a week. There are three types of Judaism worship Orthodox, Conservative, and Re-form. Orthodox would be the most religious, Conservatism being mid-dle of the road, and Reform being the least practiced. Josh grew up into the Orthodox beliefs because of his grandparents. Josh's grand-parents, his father's mother and father, were Orthodox. His mother's, mother and father were Conservative. Eventually his mother and fa-ther switched over to the Conservative beliefs. The Orthodox beliefs would show the in the center and the women on the outside. They viewed women as caretakers. There are three temples in the city of Toledo. B'NAI Israel, which is the conservative temple. Josh attends this temple. JCC, Jewish Community Center, which is the Reformer temple. And, Metz Chary, the Orthodox temple. The Hebrews be-lieved that God was their special protector and was everything, the most powerful, and present everywhere. Like the other two religions, Judaism also has a holy book called the Torah. The Torah is a sacred recording of laws and events in Jewish history. The Jews believe that God gave them the Ten Commandments through Moses, which he was called “the Lawgiverâ€. According to the Jewish tradition, God made a covenant, or agreement with Abraham, the founder of Judaism. One similarity between the Christianity and Judaism is that they both fast at a certain designated times of the year. Not only does Judaism had similarities between the two religions, the other two religions - Christi-anity and Islam were strongly influenced by Judaism. Christianity has the lar
