Template:Religion InfoboxJudaism is a monotheistic religion comprising the collective cultural and spiritual beliefs of the people of Israel, centred around the worship of Yaweh and the veneration of his earthly messengers.

History

Early in the history of Israel, multiple individuals made their Real life Jewish faith known to other nation members, leading to the initially informal adoption of Jewish insignia and designs, most notably the adoption of the Star of David. Upon the ascension of Glamourian, the new Melech proclaimed himself the earthly manifestation of Yaweh. This lead to the construction of the Temple and the appointment of Marko as high priest, and throughout 2020 Judaism was gradually adopted as the state religion of Israel.

The Temple


Organisation

Yaweh, the Abrahamic God of old, is worshipped as the creator of the universe and the cultivator of mankind. The Melech, his earthly representative and mouthpiece, is therefore appointed with divine providence, and as such all Israeli citizen s must show him respect and veneration.

The High Priest, usually an already high ranking government official, is appointed by the Melech for the exclusive task of maintaining the spiritual life of Israel, including giving sermons, holding services, maintaining the Temple's infrastructure, and partaking in fundraising efforts.

Any individual wishing to official become a Jew must make a holy pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the Holy City and first settlement in the Levant. Pilgrimages must be made from the Westernmost point of the African continent to Jerusalem, and from there to the Temple. Pilgrims must bring nothing with them save five percent of their total net worth, in gold or otherwise, to give to the High Priest upon the completion of their pilgrimage as a symbol of their devotion. Pilgrims must beg or forage in order to survive the arduous journey, and once they have completed it may be formally inducted into the Jewish religion.
