The history of Jews and Judaism is the history of a people, their unique religious covenant, and a struggle understanding the supernatural and how it fits in everyday life. Jewish religious experience can be based on questioning and discussion (the Torah and Talmud), or it can be based on the mystical wonder of the Kabbalah (the Zohar). These are the three greatest religious documents of Judaism. Judaism is based on the belief that a single god created the world to be good and righteous. Then, God gave people the power of choice over their behavior, and that element of choice introduced morality. When people make wrong choices, they bring evil into the world. The Judaic tradition celebrates the oneness and goodness of God, but at the same time it introduces human agency in the moral and religious choices individuals make.
