ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Judaism and politics

Judaism is a religion that teaches people about God, how to live a good life, and how to treat others with kindness and respect.

Politics is about how a country or place is run. It involves things like laws, leaders, and how decisions are made.

Sometimes, people who follow the Jewish religion can also be involved in politics. They might want to make sure that laws and leaders are fair and just, and that everyone is treated with kindness and respect.

In some places, like Israel, there is a political party made up of people who follow the Jewish religion. They work to make sure that the laws of the country follow the teachings of the religion.

However, not all people who follow the Jewish religion agree on politics. Just like in any group of people, there can be different opinions and views. Some may support one political party, while others support another.

Overall, Judaism teaches people to be good, kind, and fair, and to treat others the way they want to be treated. This can also play a role in how people approach politics and how they think about making decisions that are good for everyone.
