Judaism
Judaism is the monotheistic religion of the Jewish people, based on the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic tradition. Its history was shaped by the Assyrian and Chaldean conquests, the Achaemenid restoration and the conflict with the Seleucid Empire. The Khazar elite adopted Judaism, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth became a major centre of Jewish life.
