The use of images is forbidden in Jewish worship. According to our laws, it distracts from the true nature of worshiping God. Jews believe that God is beyond any possibility of being represented in pictures or icons and see all such creations to be nothing more than idols.
In Judaism, God is non-physical, indivisible and incomparable.
