Judaism is the oldest of the Abrahamic religions and the predecessor of Christianity, Islam, Bah?'? and Samaritanism. Jews remain faithful to the writings of the Torah which was believed to have been handed to Moses on Mt. Sinai, and the Tanakh, the books of the prophets and the kings and other religious writings.

Jews have a philosophy which starts with the Ten Commandments, and continues with the Talmud, the Mishnah, and the Kabbalah. Over the years, Jews have produced some great thinkers like the Rambam, the Ramban, Maimonides, Hillel, Shamai, and some modern philosophers like Yitzchak Hutner, Martin Buber, Eliyahu Dessler, and many more.
