Jews are monotheistic, which means that there is only One God in Judaism. Jews hold this to be a very important belief; and the fundamental Jewish prayer (from Deuteronomy ch.6) is:

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One."

God is referred to in Judaism by numerous names (God, Lord, Master of the Universe, etc.), because He is too great to be confined/defined by a single name. These various names all refer to the one and same God; the God who created heaven and earth and continues to will them into existence and control all of existence.

Jews believe that God created the heaven and earth from nothing (in 3760 BCE) and continues to will it into existence and control all events. He rewards those that follow His commandments, and punishes those who do not.

Comment: Jews are not allowed to worship any other gods than the Creator, are not allowed to believe in a trinity or accept Jesus, nor believe that God can be in a human form.
There is only one God in Judaism. In fact, the whole religion is based on the idea of one God.

There are many words to refer to this God, but God's true name cannot be pronounced due to strong tradition, as well as the fact nobody knows what the vowels are in the name.
