Jewish traditions are religious and cultural traditions kept or celebrated by the various Jewish communities around the world. Judaism is a world religion set firmly in ethnic identity and the scriptures of the Tanakh, which includes the Torah, and the interpretations and explanations of scripture collected in the Talmud. Jews trace their ethnic beginnings back to the figure of Abraham, his son Isaac and their descendant Jacob (Israel), while their religious beginnings are often centered on the figure of Moses, who is said to have written the Torah and founded the Law. After the city of Jerusalem was conquered in the first century A.D., the Jews spread and lived in Diaspora around the world.
