About Judaism

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The unit brings together material on Jewish beliefs, worship, festivals and sacred texts. The mind maps are the largest group. Jewish Beliefs and Teachings sets out the nature of God, including monotheism, the sacred name YHWH and God as omnipotent. Abraham follows the covenant between God and the Jewish people. Maimonides looks at his commentary on the Mishnah, the Guide for the Perplexed and the Mishneh Torah.

Where to start

Begin with the broad overview maps. The map GCSE RE: Judaism splits the topic into beliefs, worship and practices, and rituals and festivals. It also touches on evil and suffering, revelation, sources of authority and life after death. Next, open the Judaism Key Words flashcards, which run from Tenakh and Torah to Kiddush, Havdalah and the bimah.

  1. Read an overview map to see the whole topic.
  2. Learn the key words with flashcards.
  3. Move to a themed map such as Shabbat, Yom Kippur or kashrut.
  4. Test yourself with a quiz.

Flashcards for exam-style recall

Several decks follow an Eduqas GCSE course. They cover mourning rituals, such as how the body is prepared for burial, as well as Shekinah and festivals. The RE - Judaism Y10 Mock deck asks short questions, such as naming characteristics of God and explaining the Shema. These suit school students practising quick answers.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map, then take a quiz on the same theme, such as Judaism Quiz Review or Judaism/Maimonides Quiz. Wrong answers show which branch of the map to reread. Teachers can use the slide sets, including Worship in the Synagogue and Jewish Festivals, as ready-made lesson material.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map GCSE RE: Judaism. It lays out beliefs, worship and practices, and rituals and festivals in one place. After that, the Judaism Key Words flashcards give you the vocabulary you need for the more detailed maps and quizzes.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 290 of them. They cover beliefs, such as the nature of God, and figures including Abraham, Moses and Maimonides. They also cover Shabbat, Yom Kippur, kashrut, the synagogue, the Torah, the Mishnah and Midrash, and life after death.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.

Which levels do these resources suit?

Most of the material suits school students, and the page names GCSE in its listed resources, such as the Eduqas flashcard decks. Teachers can also use the slide sets and notes as ready-made classroom material. A small share is aimed at older learners.

Is there anything on funerals and mourning?

Yes. The flashcard deck Eduqas GCSE - Religious Studies - Judaism - Mourning Rituals asks what a dying person should do, how mourners react to news of a death, how the body is prepared and what happens at the burial.

What if I can't find a topic I need?

Try the related maps and flashcard decks first, since many topics appear in several of them. If something is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz and keep it for revision.
