Avodat Hashem — ”service of God” in English — is a primary religious objective in many Jewish texts. The first use of the term “service” in relationship to people serving God is in the book of Exodus, describing the expected worship of the Israelites upon leaving Egypt. In later Jewish sources, avodat Hashem takes the form of ritual sacrifices, prayer, general fulfillment of the Torah’s commandments, or ethical character development.
