Long story short: Jewish beliefs did not spread; Jews spread.
The reason that Jews were present in many diverse countries as opposed religions of similar size (such as Jainism and Sikhism) which are regional is that Jews were expelled from their homeland during the time of the Roman Empire and forced to settle elsewhere in that domain. Since the Roman Empire became many different countries, Jews ended up in various regions. Complicating the issue was that Jews were periodically expelled from countries at various points in the last 2000 years which resulted in the "Wandering Jew" stereotype since the Jew did not stay in any one region for a very long period of time.
Jews did not and continue to not evangelize. (There are some Jewish communities who assist converts, but they do not seek them.)

How did Jews spread their beliefs to the Greek world?
Jews spread their beliefs to the Greek world primarily through trade, diaspora communities, and cultural exchanges. As Jewish merchants traveled throughout the Mediterranean, they established synagogues and engaged with local populations, sharing their religious texts and ideas. The translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, known as the Septuagint, also facilitated the dissemination of Jewish beliefs to Greek-speaking communities. Additionally, the interaction with Hellenistic philosophy and culture allowed for a broader dialogue between Jewish and Greek thought.
Would Jewish beliefs and values have spread so widely if Israel and Judah had not been conquered by other peoples?
If you are specifically talking about Jewish beliefs and the Jewish religion, then no, they wouldn't have spread as widely. Judaism as a religion spread to multiple countries because Jews as people spread to multiple countries. There was no mass conversion of indigenous populations when they moved from place to place. If Judah and Israel had never been conquered, Judaism likely would have remained solely in what is now Israel. If you are referring to Jewish values, many of these were taken up by Christianity, such as the Jewish value for all human life (in contrast to the Greek value of useful human life), monotheism, the concept of a day of rest or week-end, and the idea of enumerated ethical laws. These values spread to Europe on account of Christianity and would have spread widely due to the European conquest of the known world.
According to Jewish tradition how did Jewish ideas spread around the Mediterranean world?
Judaism itself:As the Jewish communities spread and moved. This phenomenon was set in motion by the various expulsions and persecutions, which drove Jewish populations to settle in new places. Jewish influence:As non-Jews came in contact with Jews, there was a degree of influence upon them. Ancient writers speak of large numbers of people in the Mediterranean area who had taken on various Jewish practices. It was these semi-converts who were especially likely to adopt Christianity. As the new religion of Christianity spread, it taught those beliefs which it had adopted directly from Jewish sources, such as the prohibition of infanticide and human sacrifice.
