    Judaism began around 2000 BCE in the Middle East, centered around Abraham who led his followers out of Iraq to Judea and entered into a covenant with God to worship only him in exchange for the Holy Land. Moses later led the Jews out of bondage in Egypt and the religion is based on monotheism, moral and ethical laws from the 10 Commandments, and belief in a messiah as outlined in the Torah.
