Probably not. Abraham merely lived his life as he felt it should be lived,

constituted an example and role model for his children and neighbors,

and left it to others to invent a label for it.

Even if Abraham had had the jargon, he most likely would not have claimed

Judaism as anything, since it began with him, and wasn't even identified as

an ethno-religious culture until after he was gone.

Where in Israel was Judaism founded in?

There is no exact location in Israel mentioned as where Abraham formed his covenant with God according to the Bible. According to Jewish religious tradition, Abraham's covenant with God (Genesis ch.15) was made on the slopes of Mount Hermon, where a stone monument still marks the spot. The covenant in Genesis ch.17 was made in Hebron, Israel. Scholars usually claim that Judaism was founded either by King Josiah of Judah or during the Babylonian Exile Period. If the former is correct, then Judaism was born in Jerusalem. If the latter is correct, Judaism was born in the city of Babylon in Iraq.
