Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jews were monotheists-they believed in and worshipped only one god. This stands out to historians because monotheism was relatively unique in the ancient world. Most ancient societies were polytheistic-they believed in and worshiped multiple gods. What was the most common form of religion in the ancient world?

Detailed explanation-2: -What changes were made? Services were no longer conducted solely in Hebrew, but in a mixture of Hebrew and English, recognising the fact that for most Jews the vernacular was the main language of communication. Sections of the liturgy were omitted if they no longer corresponded to what Jews believed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jews believe that there is a single God who not only created the universe, but with whom every Jew can have an individual and personal relationship. They believe that God continues to work in the world, affecting everything that people do. The Jewish relationship with God is a covenant relationship.
