Abstract：The aesthetic thoughts of the ancient Hebrew nation can be summarized as regarding God, His creative activities, and what He thinks "good" as beautiful, involving such categories as the sublime, the harmonious, the abstract, the mysterious, the fearful, the beauty of reason, etc. These God-centered aesthetic thoughts of the ancient Hebrew nation, together with the Judaist anti-idolatry, has brought about the tradition of the Jewish art that values internal emotions and imagist thinking over concrete representation. The Jewish art is an art of expression and symbolism rather than that of representation. Therefore, in the artistic history of the Jewish nation, the abstract arts, such as language and music, have made great achievements, while painting, sculpture and architecture have been dimmed.
