Judaism Tips
When it comes to Judaism, we've been there, done that, now serving 42 tips in 4 categories ranging from Hebrew Calendar to Torah (Old Testament).
3. You shall not take the Name of Hasem, your God, in vain.
"You shall not take the Name of Hasem, your God, in vain." This commandment includes prohibitions against perjury, breaking or delaying the performance of vows or promises, and speaking G-d's name or swearing unnecessarily
2. Thou shalt have no other God before me.
"Thou shalt have no other God before me." This commandment refers to the concept of idolatry. It is forbidden to worship anything else. Only God can be worshipped, thus creating a monotheistic religion, Judaism.
1. I am the Lord, your God
"I am the Lord, your God." This commandment refers to the belief in God. By making this declaration, it is believed that God commanded the Jews to believe in God. Believing in something else or nothing at all goes against the first commandment.
Ten Declarations
Judaism teaches that G-d gave the Jews 613 commandments, not merely ten. The biblical passage known to most people as the "Ten Commandments" is known to Jews as the Aseret ha-Dibrot, the Ten Declarations, and is considered to be ten categories of commandments, rather than ten individual commandments.
