It is difficult to pinpoint when Judaism came to exist, but most agree that various forms of religion came together to form Judaism sometime between 1200 and 300 B.C.E. And most scholars, when telling of the beginning, will mention a man names Mosheh, or Moses. Mosheh was the leader of the Israelites who were working as slaves for the Egyptians before they escaped through the Sinai peninsula. They conquered the land of Canaan in the name of the new religious ideology of commitment to one God, whom they called Yehweh. Even today, observant Jews toward God show deep obeisance by the avoidance of mentioning the “divine name”, as it is considered to be too holy to be

To understand what progressed from this point to form Christianity, and the rift between Christians and Jews, one must understand a great deal of history and get an accurate feel for the emotional climate of those times. Christians had no oral Torah. Many felt that the Torah was redundant; for Christians, the right interpretation of the Bible was obvious, and those who did not see it were willful. These feelings are those thought to have later fuel anti-Semitism.

The Resurrection was the event that propelled Christianity to the status that it still holds today. Fervent believers were only fueled by the news of Jesus being raised from the dead. Christian belief rests on the central doctrine of Christ's resurrection, which the apostles understood as a guarantee of each individual's resurrection. The resurrection of the dead completes Christ's work of redemption for the human race. The New Testament says that all the dead will be raised to receive judgment: “Those who have done good” will proceed “to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment” (John 5:29). This resurrection will take place on the Last Day, ushered in by the sound of a trumpet.

Mosheh is depicted as having escaped dealth as a baby by being put in a boat of reeds. Found by the Pharoh’s daughter, he was brought up a court prince. He later struck and killed an Egyptian for oppressing an Israelite worker, and had to flee into the region beyond Egypt. He lived there with a priest of Midian and worked as a shepherd until he was about 80 years of age. At this time Yahweh, the god of the Hebrews, commanded Moses to lead his people out of bondage in Egypt. This would later become known as the Exodus (Greek for “departure”). It was under Mosheh’s leaderships, in conjunction with his elder brother Aharon, that he led the Israelites out of Egypt. The Biblical narrative lists
