Judaism has two distinct and legitimate meanings. One meaning of Judaism reflects on a full civilization. The actualities, past, and present, of the Jewish people are known as this historic group.

They offer a variety of programs, for members and non-members, in the study of Torah, Tzedakah, and Tikum Olam. The Jewish synagogues, at Agudath Achim, the Jewish people are inspired to identify with the Jewish religion, history, culture, their brethren in Israel, and the rest of the world. Their goal is to be a leader in the community by working together with other Jewish institutions and the community to reach out and help those in need and to help provide a better life.
Rabbi Kalman Winnick was very helpful and informative. From questions I asked I discovered that most Jewish people are born into Judaism. They do not choose the religion, it chooses...
