Judaism is the fourth oldest religion in the world. However, despite being one of the oldest religions, Jews are only 0.2% of the world's population, and more than 80% of the population comes from the United States and the historic land of Israel (lesson 14, March 17). Just like other religions, Judaism has its own mythological aspect that concerns the foundation of the religion itself. Furthermore, this religion has its own ways of practices and laws. However, although the practices, laws and foundations of religion are viewed differently depending on the Ninian Smart dimensions, in reality they are all related to each other. According to Ninian Smart, there are six dimensions of religion (Lesson 3, January 29). One of the dimensions is the mythological dimension. In Judaism the mythological dimension of religion is the foundation of the religion itself as told in the book of Exodus (Lesson 14, March 17). The story was told in two parts: the first part focuses on the exodus from Egypt and the second deals with the establishment of the covenant (lesson 14, March 17). The story begins thousands of years ago, when the people of Israel were captured in Egypt. God commanded Moses, the first prophet of Judaism, to free the Israelites from the land of the Pharaohs and lead them to their promised land. However, Pharaoh rejected Moses' request to release the Israelites, as he wanted to continue possession over them. Due to Pharaoh's refusal of Moses' requests, God sent the plague to Egypt, causing Pharaoh to change his mind and accept the requests. When Moses and the people of Israel were on their way to leave Egypt, Pharaoh suddenly changed his mind and chased the......middle of paper......is celebrated in memory of the Israelites' escape from the Egypt. The exodus from Egypt, the establishment of the covenant at Sinai, and the teachings of the laws are also interconnected since, after the Israelites fled Egypt, they went to Sinai and established a covenant with God that includes their commitment to respect your provisions. legislation. The Israelites' commitment to God leads to the teachings of the laws, which were made by the prophets. In conclusion, there are interconnections between the mythological, ritual and ethical dimensions associated with Judaism. Even though the events happened in different places and times, they are connected to each other and form the foundation of the religion. Furthermore, connections between dimensions lead to the formation of religious traditions such as the Jewish Passover holiday, which is celebrated every year to this day..
