Judaism (Illustrated Edition‪)‬

Judaism is one of the oldest continuous religious traditions in the world, shaped through scripture, law, ritual, and ethical teaching. In this classic work, Israel Abrahams presents Judaism not as a fixed system, but as a living tradition developed through centuries of interpretation and communal life.

From biblical foundations to rabbinic thought and synagogue worship, Abrahams explains how Jewish belief and practice evolved in response to history, exile, and learning. He explores law, prayer, morality, and custom as parts of a single cultural framework, revealing how faith shaped everyday life as much as theology.

This illustrated edition enriches Abrahams’ original study with newly commissioned artwork, a fresh foreword that situates the book for modern readers, and a newly written author biography. These additions make this important work accessible while preserving its historical voice.

Ideal for readers of religious history, Jewish studies, and classic nonfiction, this volume offers a thoughtful introduction to Judaism as both religion and civilization.
