ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

God in Judaism

Okay, so in Judaism, God is the super-big, super-powerful being who made everything in the world. He's like a boss, but a really nice one who always knows what's best for us. People who follow Judaism believe that God gave them a special set of rules to follow called the Torah, which tells them how to live good and happy lives.

God is also really important in Jewish prayers and holidays. Jews believe that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, which is why they have the day of rest called Shabbat. They also believe that God saved them from slavery in Egypt, which is why they have a holiday called Passover where they retell the story of the Exodus.

But here's the thing, even though God is super-powerful, he's not really like a person that we can see and touch. Jews believe that God is all around us and in everything, kind of like the air we breathe. That's why they often refer to God as "HaShem", which means "The Name", instead of saying his actual name out loud.

So in summary, God is the super-powerful being who made everything in the world and gave people a set of rules to follow so they can live good and happy lives. Even though we can't see or touch him, he's always around us and in everything we do.
