Detailed explanation-1: -The Jews have a long history that began in Mesopotamia. Abraham was, basically, the father of the Jewish civilization. He was born in the Sumerian city-state of Ur around 2000 BC.
Detailed explanation-2: -This religion is rooted in the ancient near eastern region of Canaan (which today constitutes Israel and the Palestinian territories). Judaism emerged from the beliefs and practices of the people known as “Israel”. What is considered classical, or rabbinical, Judaism did not emerge until the 1st century CE.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hebrews left the Mesopotamian city of Ur and became wandering herders; in fact, the word Hebrew originally meant “wanderer” or “nomad.” Abraham had a son, Isaac, and Isaac had a son, Jacob, collectively known as the Patriarchs in the Hebrew Bible.
