No, Jews do not believe in the concept of 'original sin'. This concept is a creation of the Christian Church.
Although the Christian Old Testament was based on the Jewish Bible (the Tanach), the OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity. The story of Adam and Chavah are interpreted very differently by Jews and Catholics.

They believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and their holy book is the Holy Bible. They also believe the Pope represents God, whereas Jews do not. Both Jews and Catholics believe in God. Differences: Judaism does not accept the following Catholic beliefs and concepts: - The trinity - Original sin - The Catholic concept of sin - The devil - Heaven and hell - The idea of eternal damnation - The Catholic concept of messiah - The virgin birth - That G-d can be man or son of man - The need to pray to G-d through intermediaries

Why do both the Orthodox and Catholic Churches believe that they individually represent the Original Church?
They are both Apostolic Churches, meaning that their clergy could be traced back to the original Apostles. However they both believe that the other split from the original church. The Catholics believe that Jesus told Peter that he was the rock on which He would build His church, and that they are the original church because they have stayed in communion with the bishop of Rome, who is the successor of Peter. The Orthodox churches do not hold the same beliefs about the pope. They believe that he would be first among equals but not necessarily that he is supreme. The split between the two churches had a lot to do with politics as well as minor doctrinal differences.
What are some similarities and differences between CatholicandLutheran churches?
Both Lutherans and Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation (the wafer and wine literally become the blood and body of Christ); both follow a bishop, deacon, priest hierarchy; both teach original sin as well as infant baptism; and both share a history from the first century Christian church to the 1500's. There are two major differences between them, however. Catholics believe in salvation via faith and good works, whereas Lutherans believe in salvation through faith alone. Catholics also believe that the Pope is God's emissary here on earth, whereas Lutherans believe that Christ is the only mediator before God that the Church has.
