| | THE IDEA OF TORAH IN JUDAISM by George Foot Moore |
 | | The revelation of religion, the Torah, is universal. | | | For Judaism, while in history and in actuality a national religion, the religion of one of the smaller peoples of the earth, was in idea and in destiny universal. | | | It was the supreme proof of faith in the Torah God had given to his people and in God's purpose in it. |

| | Judaism maintains, as a cardinal principle in its approach to religion and to all of life, that faith and deeds are inseparable. | | | Judaism is averse to spiritual generalities, to looking for meaning in a life detached from doing, as if meaning existed as a separate entity. | | | Judaism considers a person who lives by faith alone -- not translated into deeds -- to be living with vague, puffy spiritual generalities. |

| | Judaism versus Zionism |
| | Judaism is the belief in revelation at Sinai. | | | It is the lie that declares that Judaism and Zionism are identical. | | | It is the belief that exile is a punishment for Jewish sins. |

| | Judaism is the cornerstone of modern monotheistic religion. | | | Withstanding slavery, exile, diaspora and the Holocaust, the followers of this faith have rebuilt themselves over and over again, culminating in the creation of the first Jewish State, Israel. | | | The Jewish faith began thousands of years ago and has survived the Millennia. |

| | Torah from WUJS |
| | The Torah text (as written meticulously by a scribe) is different from the Chumash (or Tanach) text. | | | The word Torah is in fact often used to refer to the whole body of Jewish religious texts and teachings - from the earliest writings to a book written today. | | | Each sidra is divided into seven aliyot (points at which someone from the congregation makes a blessing on the Torah, commonly known as "call ups"). |

| | Reform Judaism |
| | Reform Judaism affirms the central tenets of Judaism - God, Torah and Israel - even as it acknowledges the diversity of Reform Jewish beliefs and practices. | | | The great contribution of Reform Judaism is that it has enabled the Jewish people to introduce innovation while preserving tradition, to embrace diversity while asserting commonality, to affirm beliefs without rejecting those who doubt, and to bring faith to sacred texts without sacrificing critical scholarship. | | | In addition to our belief that Judaism must change and adapt to the needs of the day to survive and our firm commitment to Tikkun Olam, the following principles distinguish Reform Jews from other streams of Judaism in North America. |

| | The only relevant distinction is between those who are passionate about their Judaism, who love the study of Torah and the practice of Mitzvot (or who want to do so), and those who are less passionate, informed and involved. | | | Nor is Karaism, or the religion of the Essenes, the Bethoesim or the Kutim, despite the fact that all these people were Jewish and originally formulated their religion based on Judaism. | | | It is for good reason, then, that the unchangeability of the Torah is one of the 13 Principles of Faith. |

| | Why I Study Torah - Judaism |
| | Reading and studying Torah is one of the easiest ways to connect with your Jewish heritage, and if you are not Jewish, to learn about the foundation for the Jewish faith and customs. | | | The “Book” is the Torah, the first five books of the Tanach (the Jewish Bible, otherwise known as the Old Testament). | | | There is much wisdom to be gained reading Torah, as each Parasha deals with different aspects of life and Jewish observance. |

| | As many people as possible are given the honor of an aliyah (reciting a blessing over the Torah reading); in fact, even children are called for an aliyah blessing on Simchat Torah. | | | On Simchat Torah, we read the last Torah portion, then proceed immediately to the first chapter of Genesis, reminding us that the Torah is a circle, and never ends. | | | Outside of Israel, where extra days of holidays are held, only the second day of Shemini Atzeret is Simchat Torah: Shemini Atzeret is Tishri 22 and 23, while Simchat Torah is Tishri 23. |
