What would you do if you were asked to believe something no one else believed? Would you pick up your family and travel hundreds of miles in search of a place you knew nothing about?
The Hebrew Bible, or Torah, tells us a man named Abraham did just that, more than 3,000 years ago. Abraham had a vision that God told him to believe in only one God. Abraham’s covenant with, or promise to, God was the beginning of monotheism – the belief in one God. It was also the start of the world’s first monotheistic religion: Judaism.
