Judaism
Judaism is the oldest surviving monotheistic religion. It grows out of a covenant described in the Hebrew Bible (called the Old Testament by Christians) with Abraham and his descendants, the Children of Israel. Today's Rabbinic Judaism is largely a result of the collection of writings of traditional oral law from the sixth century called the Talmud. Judaism and Disabilities
