When Judaism first started, its people were promised a land by their God "Yahweh". From that point on, the religion has gone through a relativity large number of changes. The faith is the first faith introduced to us as a monolithic faith so far, with Jews believing that their God is the only god and that there would be severe consequences for believing otherwise.
After being over taken by other monarchies, the remaining Jew communities were dispersed and scattered. This dispersion unified them and sharpened their Jewish identity and reinforced it. Jews established their own sets of rules and traditions. They placed a lot of importance on their rituals and values, which can be seen to this day.
