Judaism by Israel Abrahams

Description

Judaism is a book by Israel Abrahams, first published in 1893. This work offers a comprehensive yet accessible overview of Jewish religion, culture, and history, written by one of the foremost Anglo-Jewish scholars of his time. Aimed at a general readership, it provides clear explanations of Jewish beliefs, practices, and traditions, alongside reflections on the ethical and philosophical foundations of Judaism. Abrahams presents Judaism not merely as a set of religious observances but as a living, evolving tradition with deep historical roots and continued relevance. The book was part of a broader movement in the late 19th century to make Jewish thought intelligible and respected within wider intellectual circles, particularly in Britain. Israel Abrahams was known for his scholarship on Jewish life and literature, and his works, including Jewish Life in the Middle Ages, helped shape modern understandings of Judaism in both academic and public spheres.
