Who does Judaism follow?

Answer 1

Answer 1

God.

According to the teachings of Judaism, the Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are a contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.

In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews use the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.

These Governing Bodies are the people that Jews follow, although it needs to be clarified that since not all Jews belong to the same movement, not all Jews follow the same person or people.
