Judaism most assuredly affected the Norse revival at its very roots. However, while certain cultural aspects made the leap between the two, such as the emphasis on scholarship, there are a number of distinct cultural and theological differences. While both religions have an emphasis on the importance of personal actions and on how it is mankind’s right and duty to interpret their divine mandates, the theological relationships with the divine differ strongly. In Judaism, Jews have always had an argumentative relationship with their G-d, starting with the earliest patriarchs, who routinely argued with their divine figure even as they worked to interpret and fulfill His directives. However, by contrast, in the Reformed Norse, mankind are explicitly the allies of their gods, working together to stave off the coming of Ragnarok and the end of the world.
