Summary/Abstract: The religious dimension is very important in the community forming and its understanding. The feast – Pasha, which the Israel history and faith is based on, is solemnly celebrated by Jewish. It is not only the recollection of former events but most of all it is to make all aware of the topicality of God’s saving act. Through this act God makes and calls the nation which fulfils the exceptional unity that comes from the identity and awareness of the faith in God, the only true One. In this regard, the nation is the community in the covenant with God so it is understood to bring all nations to this community.
