Judaism and its laws, customs and beliefs can all be incorporated under 3 basic Values: 1. The value of life - Jews believe that the life of all man is the product of G-d, regardless of religious affiliation; therefore rules in Judaism are created to benefit and preserve life and the lives of those around you. One does not have to be a Jew to be a good person or go to heaven, There is no forced conversion, missionaries or belief that harm should be done to those who do not follow Jewish beliefs. 2. Monotheism- the belief in a single deity. God is an omnipresent being, without form, or physical body, who has guided the Jews in the right path, through prayer, customs and the Torah. 3. Reward and punishment - the belief that those who fulfill their religious obligations will be rewarded and those who transgress will be punished. Jews have 613 categories of commandments and non-Jews are expected to follow the seven Noahide laws.

∙ 8y agoThe values of Judaism are contained within the hundreds of mitzvoth (commands), principles and beliefs of the Torah.
Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses." In this sense, the word "Torah" is meant in its wider meaning, which includes the Tanakh, the Talmud, and other classical Jewish texts.
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.

What is Humanistic Judaism?
There are a number of Jews who do not believe in God, yet who do want to maintain ties with organized Judaism; they are attracted to the ethics and values that Judaism teaches, but could live without some of the supernatural interpretations. In 1963, a Detroit rabbi, Sherwin T. Wine, created what came to be known as Humanistic Judaism. His goal was to welcome secular Jews who liked Jewish culture and respected Jewish ethics; they would now be able to continue having a relationship with Judaism, and would not be expected to believe in a deity. The Society for Humanistic Judaism has been in existence since 1969 and has branches in a number of cities. I enclose a link to it.
