For the people of the Jewish religion, they also believe in one supreme God but believe there is no trinity and only 1 singular God that is absolute, indivisible, incomparable, incomprehensible and unknowable “The Lord our God is one”.

Lastly, Judaism holds many important holidays to its name. The most common are Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), and Hanukkah (Celebrating the victory of the Maccabees).
