well the jews belived that God was the only one and choose to worship him as their father. they didnt go to church on sunday but many years ago they found that every day they should give an hour or more of their day to prayer. years ago they were a lot more religious than people nowadays !
Jewish answer: In ancient times, the name was never spoken out loud, except by the High Priest on Yom Kippur. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, the never was never spoken out loud again.
God's name in the Torah is יהוה (YHWH in Hebrew, not in English). Other names which refer to God (such as Elohim) are more generic and can in certain contexts actually refer to such authorities as judges (Exodus ch.21-22).
Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of God's name יהוה has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are according to Jewish tradition inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way יהוה is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)
The name of God is now not pronounceable for us, partly due to to a religious prohibition for Jews (Talmud, Sanhedrin ch.11), and partly due to the fact that the way in which it would be pronounced is today not known. While the Temple in Jerusalem still stood, only the Kohen Gadol would pronounce the name of God (יהוה) and only one day a year. The remainder of the time, less explicit names of God, including Adonai or Elohim, were used; and that is what we do today also, in prayers, blessings and Torah-reading. In daily conversation in English, we use English words (God, or the idiomatic "Hashem," which refers to God but is not an actual name).
Christian answer:
Jew is a subsection of Israelite, and after the North kingdom (Ephraim) was exiled, it became the name for the South kingdom (Judah). Jew is also a term for Christian. Both a race and a faith hold claim to it. Ethnic Jews may be Atheists, Christians, Judaics, Muslims: in itself it does not mean a faith, though the ethnic majority became Judaics when Judaism began. Ethnic English and Arabs may become Judaics.
The ethnic Israelites commonly spoke God's name; much later the ethnic Jews strongly preferred not to, fearing common use to be sinful - it became a High Priest prerogative. Biblically it discriminated Israel from all other races: God was Yahwehto his covenant people, Elohim (God) to all others. There are extant documemts of its use in early Christian circles (into which many ethnic Jews had gone), but the exact structure of the name has been lost. Various reconstructions exist.
This depends on the person. Jewish people have very personal relationships with God, and they are all different.
Jews do not believe that Jesus had any relationship to God save the one that every person has with God: the relationship between a created entity and his Creator.
