who are the founders (major people) of judaism?

Question

asked thids lasyt time none answered except one..easent very helpfull

Answer 1

YHWH is the founder of Judaism. It was He who took Abram out of Ur of the Chaldees, and brought him into the Promised Land. God then gave an oath to Abram that He would give the land to his seed by covenant. He established this covenant with Abram, and then confirmed it to Isaac and Jacob.

Later, He used Moses as the deliverer of the Israelites from Egypt, and gave them the Laws and Covenants that would make them His people. The rest is history.

Answer 2

It was the individuals religion up to Abraham.Remember Melchizedek was a Canaanite and was a priest of God and Baalam was a jerk but God talked to him.After God made a covenant with Abram(circumcision) the game changed and it was a religion based on believing God's promises..."and it was accounted to Abraham for righteousness's says.Still the head of the house was the priest.Until Moses then they had a blood line of Priests(The Aaronic and Levitical ,Moses' family line)That's where Judaism starts,but not until the Temple of Solomon,David's son,does it become world known.After Nebuchadnezzer destroyed the Temple and carried the Jews away to Babylon did it change some.In Babylon with an absence of the Temple they gathered in groups .This was the beginning of the 'Synagogues'.With no priests the common man became a teacher a Rabbi.When they went back they had to learn all over again.Then after the destrution of the city Jerusalem 70AD,You got the Torah, the Mishnah,commentaries on commentaries ad nauseum and the religion is "off" to this day.

Answer 3

This is a fantastic question and thank you for asking it. Judaism traces its roots to the biblical prophets, especially Moses, but Judaism as we know it has far more modern 'founders.' In the year 72 of the common era, the Jerusalem Temple was demolished by the tenth Roman legion under the command of Titus and this led to the final diaspora. As a result of this Sadducaic Judaism vanished into the mists of history and Pharasaic Judaism became the dominant party. From here Yeshivot were established for Talmudic and Rabbinic learning and so we see the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism and the formulation of the two Talmudim.
Akiva, Rashi and Rambam are the three to name here and your search engine will provide you with plenty of information on them. In more recent times, the great shaper of European Judaism was the BaalShemTov (Master of the Divine Name) who gave birth to Hasidism throughout the world of Ashkenaz Jewry.
Since before the Shoah Judaism has diversified greatly but all have been shaped by the personalities I have mentioned.

Moses then the Monarchs and prophets, the Sanhederin, Akiva, Rashi, Rambam, BaalShemTov.

Answer 4

Abraham was the first leader.

Moses got The Law and probably wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Job.

King David wrote a lot of the psalms and proverbs.

You can look at the chapter headings to see the Major and Minor Prophets.

Now stop pouting.
