What societal groups did judaism appeal to?

Explanation:

Among the ancient Hebrews, Judaism, a monotheistic religion, evolved. Judaism is characterized by a belief in one transcendent God who revealed himself in accordance with the Bible and rabbinical traditions to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets.

Judaism has assimilated and incorporated foreign elements into its own social and religious structures in their contact with the great civilizations, from ancient Babylonia and Egypt to Western Christianity and modern secular culture.
