Both Jews and Hindus perform marriage rites under a canopy. They remove their sandals while entering a temple or synagogue. They have ritual baths before special occasions. Both religions require the isolation of women during the days of the menstrual period and after childbirth. Their death rites are similar.
The Jewish first commandment says, “I am the Lord." One of the basic tenets of Hinduism is “Aham Brahma Asmi," or “I am the Creator."
Hindu and Jewish ritual objects are very similar. The six-pointed star, Magen David, is also a sacred Hindu symbol. The original name of Abraham was Av ram (father of Ram in Hebrew). The pancha diyas or five lamps used in Hinduism are similar to the menorah lit during Hanukkah. The design of the second temple and the Thanjavur temple in Tamil Nadu are very similar.
