Jews know only the consonants of the name. The vowels have been lost in time. But it doesn't matter because it's forbidden to speak the name out loud.

Jews refer to God in many other ways today.

Where do Jewish people pray and worship?

Jews pray to God, or as we call God, Adonai. We do not call God Yahweh. Jews can pray by themselves, but we also pray in community in the synagogue. We are commanded to pray three times a day. Yahweh, by the way, is the way some people pronounce the Hebrew letters, yud, hey, vav, hey as the name of God is written in the Torah, and which Jews pronounce Adonai. The word yud, hey, vav, hey is actually a form of the Hebrew verb to be. We do not know the name of God, and therefore do not believe we are allowed to pronounce it. Orthodox Jews refer to God as HaShem, which is translated as "The Name."

Only God is worshiped by Jews.Jews have immense respect for Abraham and consider him a prophet because he abandoned the polytheism of the Chaldeans in Mesopotamia and followed God's command without question and become the progenitor of numerous peoples: Israelites, Edomites, Ishmaelites/Arabs. But he is not worshiped.Absolutely not. Judaism is a monotheistic belief system in which God is the only one to be worshiped. Worshiping mortals or any physical objects is considered idolatry.
