About Judaism
Judaism is one of the world’s oldest monotheistic religions and is rooted in the belief in one God and the teachings found in the Torah. In this Specialist section, learners build knowledge of key beliefs, texts, customs and daily life through clear, teacher-written quizzes that are easy to revisit.
Quizzes break big topics into manageable steps, helping pupils remember important vocabulary, recognise symbols and festivals, and understand why practices matter. This makes the section useful for school study, home learning and general knowledge, especially when learners want short, repeatable revision that gives instant feedback.
If you are starting out, try Getting to Know for a grounded introduction. Explore traditions around bereavement and remembrance in Death and Mourning, discover how food connects to faith and community in Jewish Food, and strengthen understanding of worship and belief through Jewish Prayers – Beliefs.
For official guidance that helps schools understand Religious Education requirements, see GOV.UK: Religious education (RE) and collective worship in academies and free schools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Torah?
The Torah is the foundational Jewish text. It contains key teachings and stories and is central to Jewish belief, worship and community life.
How can quizzes help with Religious Education revision?
Short quizzes make recall practice easy. Learners can spot gaps quickly, learn key vocabulary, and repeat topics after a few days to improve long-term memory.
Are these quizzes suitable for different ages?
Yes. They work well for upper primary through secondary learners and also suit families who want a clear introduction to Jewish beliefs and traditions.
How can parents support learning without being an expert?
Encourage little-and-often practice and ask your child to explain new words in their own way. Revisiting a quiz later in the week helps the learning stick.
