Judaism is not only a religious faith but also a set of beliefs, practices, symbols, and institutions. More than that, it’s a civilization and culture of a people both diverse and united by a history of exile and perseverance.
Explore the storied history, texts, and traditions of one of the world’s oldest living religions and civilizations. As an award-winning professor and an observant Jew, Howard Lupovitch brings a wealth of knowledge to his audio course on Judaism. With the balanced perspective of a scholar, he guides you through its rise, development, and diversification. Under his tutelage, you will also discover the fascinating differences and similarities between Judaism and other Abrahamic faiths.
Starting with a general introduction, you’ll establish a contextual framework and learn essential vocabulary. Prof. Lupovitch then takes you on a journey through the history of Judaism in three sections:
- Ancient Israel: Examine the Hebrew Bible, the concept of diaspora, and the origins of Jewish beliefs.
- Judaism’s Emergence as a Way of Life: Learn why Rabbinic Judaism became the religion’s dominant form and established the pillars of Jewish customs.
- Modern Challenges: Study different denominations and labels as well as debates on Jewish identity.
Whether your interests lie in history, interreligious understanding, or culture, this course will enlighten and entertain you.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide prepared by your professor and course producer.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

For example, it's interesting to learn how the Jewish people interacted within their communities and with other people and how their religion, traditions and historical faith made these ripples we see today. I highly recommend this book.

The first and most significant thing about this course is its comprehensiveness. I love these courses that make me discover a whole new world from the beginning to the end. It starts with explaining the common terminology of Judaism and Jews, which was great for me since I do not have any background about most of the terms. Over the next few chapters, professor. Howard deepened into Judaism as a religion. I understood what God, Diaspora, Zion, Talmud, Exile, Ashkenazi, Sephardi and many other terms and aspects of Judaism means for the Jews, which I really wanted to understand. I hear these terms a lot of time while reading historical books or watching documentaries but I never found a source to explain them to me and I depended mostly on Google to find out what they mean. Some lectures discuss very serious matters such as lecture 9 that explains why Judaism encounters Islam and lecture 21, 22, and 23 discussing secular Judaism and Zionism.
Professor. Howard managed to create a guide to Judaism and Jews from nearly all aspects. You’ll find out everything you want to know about history, daily life, modern problems, and old and modern terminology, practices, beliefs, new ideas and whatever comes to your mind.
I listened to another course by prof. Howard, The History of the Holocaust, which is highly recommended if you are interested in understanding the whole story of the Holocaust. When I did a simple search about professor Howard Lupovitch, I found out that he is well-known when it comes to Judaic Studies since he is an associate professor of history the director of the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies, specializing in modern Jewish History. You will feel how knowledgeable he is. His performance and voice are full of passion and he has the gift of making topics simpler to be understood by everyone, even if you do not have any background about the topics.
Thank you, prof. Howard and Learn25, for this great course!
