God spoke to Abraham and said his descendants would be a "holy people". Modern Jews interpret this to mean that ancient Judaism was a tribal religion, the most important elements of which were the idea of one supreme God (monotheism) and the idea that this God was "with" the Jews no matter where we traveled. (In the ancient Middle East, nomadic tribes typically worshiped the gods of whatever place they happened to be in. Jews did not follow this pattern.)
The "birthday of Judaism," however, is usually taken to be the acceptance by the Israelites of the ten commandments at Sinai, after the flight from Egypt.
