Diffusion
Judaism originated in the nation of the Hebrews over 2000 years ago. The Jewish
people kept relapsing into sin and time after time and God had to send a prophet
to bring them back to him and they would be fine for awhile until they fell back
into sin. God presented the Jewish people with His Ten commandments which are a
set of guidelines for them. God lead them to the Promise Land where the Jewish
people hav flourished and has grown to present day Israel. Judaism has been
braught to Spain by Jewish merchants. (relocation diffusion) It has also been
spread through war. (expansion diffusion) The founder of Judaism is God himself
who chose Abraham to lead his people. Today there is no one leader of Judaism.
Judaism has broken u into many different sects and other religions such as
Christianity and Islam have sprung forth from Judaism.

testement texts present are sacred. The holy land is the most sacred place to
