Let me start with something simple and slightly uncomfortable.

If you ask ten people what Judaism is, nine of them will describe Christianity with Jewish characters, Islam with Hebrew fonts, or whatever TikTok told them last week about the Talmud.

And that tells you everything you need to know about how badly this topic is misunderstood.

Judaism is not Christianity without Jesus. It's not Islam without Muhammad. And it's definitely not a secret rulebook for controlling the world.

So today, I want to slow this down and do something radical: Explain what Judaism actually is, in plain language, without apologizing for it.
