- B. The role of Ritual life of Judaism that focuses on the prayers and scriptures of the daily activities that go on in their practices. The study of scripture is a big factor of Judaism because it involves the whole community of members in the Synagogue for everyone to interact with the scriptures of the daily activities. These interactions are important and necessary for the approach of scripture or Bible studies because it provides a perspective of the scripture being read. The word scripture is defined as understanding the words of the Bible with the help of the community understanding the meanings of the scriptures. In Jewish traditions, there are three times of daily prayers that include the guidance of sacred objects called Tallit and Tefillin. The Tallit involves the prayer shawl that is renewed every daily prayer that focuses on the thoughts and feelings of God. The Tefillin is a prayer box that is used on daily prayers that reminds the Jewish community to be engaged in mind, body, and soul in prayer. The Doctrine section of Judaism involves the themes of beliefs, specifically with the theology of Monotheism. This theology is one of the core beliefs in Judaism with an understanding of one God and uses the daily prayers as a way to concentrate the thoughts of the one and only God. A prayer that is used in Judaism is called the shema, which focuses on the thinking of God in a way to start the prayer. There is a term called Idolatry, which is a primary sin or a problem in human life that means a devotion or worship of anyone or anything that is related to God. In Judaism, any term that ends with an - ism is proposed as a distraction from God that are different forms of Idolatry. In the cosmology side of the doctrine in Judaism is the teachings of God in all things good and true is transcendent. For human beings, they need to start looking beyond the natural phenomenon in order to obtain the knowledge of God to the community that is associated with the covenant and to the Torah, Tanakh, and Talmud, the holy books related to Judaism.
The Ethics of Judaism that focuses on the approach of commands and motives in the ethical life of Judaism. The command is one of the strongest foundations in Judaism and the motive is the motivation of love, God, and other human beings according to the Hebrew Bible. An important term related to the commands and motives is the mitzvot, which is the 613 commandments that expands on the faith in Judaism and in life. In the Jewish community, it is important to follow the commandments as a belief to the covenant of God. The traditional and orthodox Judaism has centered out the many commandments, but even with the strict regulations it's difficult to follow those rules because many of them aren’t used for practices and it can be used in the holy temple. Reform Judaism involves the nature and the importance of ethics in Judaism over rituals, while the Conservative Judaism views both necessities of Jewish traditions and law.
