View of God: Judaism

Judaism is a monotheistic religion, meaning that it is defined by the belief in one God.
Judaism is a monotheistic religion based on the fact that their belief in one God cannot be
divided, and cannot be represented in any different forms. The monotheistic religion of Judaism
revolves around the concept of the Torah; the books of Jewish scriptures and other sacred Jewish
writings. The Torah is imperative to the foundation of the Jewish people and their convenient
with God. The Torah also elaborates on the set of religious obligations and laws by which,
traditionally, embody the Jewish way of life and living. Judaism is known to be called one of the
Abrahamic religions because it shares the same set of Hebrew stories featuring Abraham just as
Christianity and Islamic religions. Judaism religion believes God to be infinitely powerful,
omniscient (all-knowing), the supreme creator and first cause of all existence, and purely goodnatured. God is unity, and he is a single, whole, complete indivisible entity. God is considered to
be incorporeal, Judaism firmly maintains that God has no body. References that refer to Gods
body is only recognized as a figure of speech, a means of making Gods actions more
conceivable to being living in the material world. Traditional Judaic attributes of God are that he
is one; omnipresent and eternal; purely spiritual, both in a sense of having thought as an attribute
and as being incorporeal (Kaplan, 1984, p. 403). God is the creator of heaven and earth,
containing no properties of a body and is free from all properties of matter, obtaining no
form.God is inclusive of all existence, being called Truth the Hebrew word for which consists
of the first, middle and last letters of the alphabet- like I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first

and last, the beginning and the end (Kaplan, 1984, p.403). Reiterating that God is seen as truth
all things created.
The Judaic religion believes that God transcends in every magnitude of physical
existence, but holds the idea that God is indeed the locus of all existence. Kabbalah; revelation
from God received by Jews and passed to succeeding generations and also to bring us to the
revelation of the Creator, the all-inclusive law of nature, while living in this world; is the study of
God and his many teachings within the torah. Texts, oral traditions and ritual practiceswere
produced, transmitted and perceived as belonging to an ancient, sacred, body of theoretical and
practical knowledge called Kabbalah (Huss, 2007, 107). Though the teachings of Kabbalah,
Jews are able to understand the concept of God and his views of human existence. Kabbalah
relates to the Jews view of God considering it is an ancient wisdom that reveals how the universe
and life work due to Gods entity. The word Kabbalah means to receive, relating to the study of
how to receive fulfillment in our lives.Kabbalah has gained considerable symbolic power in
Jewish communities, first in Spain, and later in other Jewish centuries around the world, and
became universally accepted as sacred and authoritative (Buss, 2007, 109). Kabbalah is an
ancient paradigm for living. It teaches that all of the branches of our lives; health, relationships,
careers, originate from the same trunk and the same root. It's the technology of how the universe
works at the core level. It's a way of looking at the world that can connect a person to the kind of
permanent fulfillment you seek. Kabbalah will deepen a persons understanding of the universe
and give more information and tools to understand why things are happening in ones life, and
how a person can better connect to the Light of the Creator and receive the fulfillment someone
may be seeking. This was considered to be a ritual done by the Jewish people in order to

recognize God as the everything in the universe, and ultimately is the creator of the universe.
Jewish faith ultimately continues to believe that God is in all places at all times. He fills the
universe and exceeds in doing so. God is unchanging and is all-powerful. Gods omnipotence
means, too, that he is not subject to any pre-existent and compelling cosmic orderGod uses his
omnipotence to create (Kaplan, 1984, 404). God is always near for us to call upon in need, and
sees all that we do. God is universal. He is not just the God of the Jews; but the God of all
nations. God can do anything, knows all things such as past, present, and future. God is eternal,
righteousness, and is both just and merciful. God is the author of moral law, and sees to its
execution, he is the higher power in the universe. God is above and beyond any living creature
on the natural world. God is overall wholly, unchanging, divine, infinite, and the only thing that
is perfection in the universe.
