VI . Conclusion
Judaism is an ancient yet evolving religion . Being such an important part of the practitioners ’ lives , it has changed significantly over the centuries . In an effort to make it more adaptable , different sectors of Judaism have transformed some of their practices and rituals .
One of its most interesting changes is the inclusion of women in some of their most sacred rituals . Not only are they included , but there are now several rituals that have been opened so that women can perform them too and have their very own rites of passage .
Jewish people live their life under a very strict set of rules that go as far as limiting what they can eat . However , even with the many limitations established by their religion , they have also been important in the advancement of both science and culture .
As established by Samovar and others , Jewish culture has been instrumental for the development of our current culture . They have managed to surpass their past and develop great achievements throughout the world .
