Hinduism is the oldest known religion and is very rich with literally hundreds of gods, symbolistic rituals and beliefs.

Both Judaism and Hinduism are great, ancient religions that have influenced their cultures and made an impact on people's lives, even till this day. There are a few similarities regarding these two religions. For instance, both Judaism and Hinduism were strong monotheistic religions, meaning they only believed in one God. Judaism wasn't always monotheistic, starting out as polytheism, then to monolatry, and then to monotheism. Another similarity is that both religions used a Caste System, which is a structure system that is determined by birth. For example, if you were born into a poor family, then you will also become poor and the same goes for you if you were born in a rich family.

Although there are many similarities, there are plenty of differences between these religions.…
