There are several aspects of our modern life that originated in the Judaic faith. For example:
- Judaism was the first monotheistic religion, and it gave rise to Christianity. As Christianity was the dominant religion over much of Europe, and Europe colonized such large territories, the effects of this can be felt almost anywhere in the world.
- Judaism also created the idea of the weekend, through the concept of <em>Shabbat</em>, which is the day of the week in which no work is performed.
- The Torah (the holy text of Judaism) is alone in the Ancient World in claiming that laws apply to everyone equally, regardless of class, race or social status. This concept is important in most codes of law everywhere in the world.
Judaism also remains visible and relevant in the modern world due to the practices of modern Jewish communities who still maintain their traditions alive.
