7 Pillars of Judaism

Me, having a jew family can tell that Judaism is a religion that needs it's sacrifice, the traditions and everything must be done, but now a days the religion cant be taken that seriously because of the conflicts with neighbour countries and territorial issues.


Mezuzah: A mezuzah is affixed to the doorframe in Jewish homes to fulfill the mitzvah (Biblical commandment) to inscribe the words of the Shema "on the doorposts of your house" (Wikipedia)

Tefillin:small black leather case with Hebrew Scriptures worn (on the forehead and left arm) by Jewish men during morning prayer.

Shofar: a ram's horn played by ancient Hebrews during ceremonies. Now played in the synagogue during Rosh  Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Hanukkah: it's a Jewish eight-day festival that conmemorates a past important victory of the Jews.

Kosher: it's a word that means that the object that we are talking about is fit to the dietary words. Kosher meat, for example, means that that meat can be eaten according to the Jewish religious laws.
Tzedakah: it's the religious obligation to perform charity.

Sabbath: it's the weekly day of resting for the Jews in the whole world.
