If someone wanted you to believe something no one else believed, how would you react? Would you take your family hundreds of miles from home in search of a place you knew nothing about?
According to the Hebrew Bible, or Torah, a man named Abraham actually did 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.
