Nature of God in Judaism

The Jewish understanding of God's nature is fundamental to their faith and practices. This page explores key aspects of the Jewish concept of God.

Monotheism and God's Oneness

Judaism is a monotheistic religion, emphasizing the belief in one God. This is encapsulated in the Shema, a central prayer in Judaism:

Quote: "Hear O Israel, the LORD Our God, the LORD, is One"

This declaration of God's oneness is recited multiple times daily, reinforcing the core belief in monotheism.

God as Creator

Judaism teaches that God is the creator of the universe. This belief is rooted in the opening verses of the Torah:

Quote: "In the beginning God created" $Genesis 1:1$

Some Jews interpret this literally, believing God created the world in six days, while others view it metaphorically.

God's Attributes

Judaism describes God with various attributes:

Merciful and just
Omnipotent $all-powerful$
Omniscient $all-knowing$
Omnipresent $present everywhere$

Highlight: While God is seen as merciful and just, Jewish teachings acknowledge that humans may not always understand God's justice.

God's Presence (Shekinah)

The concept of Shekinah refers to God's presence on Earth. It's often associated with the feminine aspect of God:

Vocabulary: Shekinah - The divine presence of God in the world

This concept is particularly important in understanding God's relationship with the Jewish people and the significance of sacred spaces like the Temple.

Prohibition of Images

Judaism strictly prohibits creating images or physical representations of God. This stems from the belief in God's incorporeality and transcendence.

Example: You won't find statues or paintings of God in synagogues, unlike in some other religions.

This page provides essential information for Judaism GCSE Revision, covering key aspects of Jewish beliefs about God's nature and attributes.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
