The traditional conception of
God in Judaism is strictly
monotheistic.
God is generally understood by Jews to be the absolute one, indivisible and incomparable
being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. Jewish tradition teaches that the true aspect of God is incomprehensible and unknowable, and that it is only God's revealed aspect that brought the universe into existence, and interacts with mankind and the world. The one
God of Israel is the God of
Abraham,
Isaac, and
Jacob, who is the guide of the world, delivered the
Israelites from
slavery in Egypt, and gave them the
Law of Moses at
biblical Mount Sinai as described in the
Torah. Traditional interpretations of Judaism generally emphasize that God is personal, while some modern interpretations of Judaism emphasize that God is a force or ideal.
