Jewish Culture & Tradition
Discover the Jewish roots of the Old Testament — feast days, interpretive traditions, and sacred texts that illuminate the scriptures.
The Old Testament is fundamentally a Jewish text — written by Jewish prophets, within Jewish communities, for audiences steeped in Jewish culture. When Latter-day Saints study these scriptures, we bring our own rich theological framework. But we can also learn from the traditions that have treasured, studied, and lived these texts for thousands of years.
