When we think of universalizing religions, Christianity and Islam usually come to mind. But what about Judaism? Can Judaism be considered a universalizing religion?<\/p>\n

On the surface, it may not seem like Judaism fits the bill. After all, Judaism is a religion with a strong emphasis on Jewish identity and community. But if we take a closer look, we can see that Judaism does have some universalizing tendencies.<\/p>\n

For one, Judaism teaches that all people are created in the image of God and are therefore deserving of dignity and respect. Additionally, the Jewish idea of tikkun olam (repairing the world) calls on Jews to work for the betterment of all humanity, not just their own community.<\/p>\n

So while Judaism may not be as explicit in its universality as other religions, it does have some universalizing tendencies that make it worthy of consideration as a universalizing religion.<\/p>\n
