Yes, Judaism is Biblical in that the Torah, which means Teachings, is the core of the Jewish religion. The history of Judaism can be found in the texts that make up the complete Jewish Bible, which is called the Tanach: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach, however, it was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
To be Jewish can mean you either practice the Jewish religion, or are from a Jewish decent. It is both a race and a religion. Someone that is culturally Jewish may not practice the religion, but has a Jewish heritage. Likewise, people that do practice the Jewish religion do not have to be culturally Jewish, or have Jewish ancestors.
Jesus lived and preached within the Jewish faith, and his teachings were influenced by Jewish beliefs and practices. He did not explicitly mention "Christianity" as it emerged after his death, with his followers interpreting his teachings in a new way.
