Judaism’s history begins around 2000 BCE with the Covenant between God (Elohim) and Abraham. Over a thousand years later, as the Jewish faithful Believe, God's (Elohim’s) laws and commandments were revealed to the Prophet Moses on Mount Sinai, forming the Torah, which is the first part of the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh, and the ancient writings of the Talmud, embody the beliefs and practices of Judaism. Present in every aspect of the religion is a single, omniscient, and compassionate God (Elohim). Today we will present excerpts from Chapters 51 to 54 from the Holy Tanakh’s Book of Isaiah, which conveys God’s loving concern for the people and the joys of salvation. “Hearken to Me, you pursuers of righteousness, you seekers of the Lord. Look at Abraham your father and at Sarah who bore you, for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him and made him many.” “Hearken to Me, My people, and My nation, bend your ears to Me, when Torah shall emanate from Me, and My judgment [shall be] for the light of the peoples, I will give [them] rest. My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, and on My arm shall they trust. Raise your eyes to Heaven and look at the Earth from beneath, My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be abolished.”“The Lord has revealed His Holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the Earth shall see the salvation of our God. For not with haste shall you go forth and not in a flurry of flight shall you go, for the Lord goes before you, and your rear guard is the God of Israel. Behold My servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and he shall be very high.”“We all went astray like sheep, we have turned, each one on his way, and the Lord accepted his prayers for the iniquity of all of us.” “For your Master is your Maker, the Lord of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the Earth.” “And all your children shall be disciples of the Lord, and your children's peace shall increase. With righteousness shall you be established, go far away from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from ruin, for it will not come near you.”
