Judaism

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. – Moses

The prophet Moses led the Israelites from slavery in Egypt into the land of Canaan, by way of Sinai, where he received his mission from God in the form of the Ten Commandments. This exodus story of a charismatic leader, charged with a divine purpose, who leads a people away from slavery to a promised land became the foundation of the Jewish nation. In reality, the figure of Moses is hard to place in history. He might have existed anywhere between 1300 BC and 500 BC, but his influence and the work of his school are undeniable. Having produced one of the greatest religious books in the world, the Old Testament, the tradition of the law contained within the Talmud, and the mystical esoteric knowledge of the Kabbalah, Judaic teachings continue to instruct man as to his true relationship to God.
