An Investigation on the Position of Spirit in the Anthropology of Judaism

The foundation of every religion is based on its teachings. Anthropology is one of the important teachings in Judaism. Human is of most importance in Judaism, insofar as this influences other teachings of Judaism. One of the most important aspects of human existence that has been of interest to all philosophers, theologians, mystics and scholars is the discussion of the spirit and its characteristics. Paying attention to this existential dimension and drawing on its place in man can be the key to resolving differences between religions. This article is descriptive-analytical and has been compiled using research, books, documents, and related library resources.
