Best Answer

Bear in mind, when asking this kind of question, that the Jewish people are an ethnic group as well as a religious group. Not all ethnic Jews believe in the Jewish religion. And for those who do believe in Judaism, there are also several varieties of Judaism, just as there are varieties of Christianity or of Islam (or any other major religion).

The basic principles of Judaism are that there is only one God (usually refered to as Adonai, meaning my lord, or by the more pious Jews as Hashem, meaning the name; the unspoken name of God is Yahweh - a name too holy to actually utter) who created the universe and who wishes to be worshipped by human beings, and that the Jews are the chosen people of God; a more detailed account of Jewish beliefs can be found in the sacred book called the Torah by Jews, or the Old Testament by Christians.

Correction:

The word Yahweh is Christian in origin and is not, nor ever has been, used by Jews. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach, and although the Christian Old Testament is based on the Tanach, they are not the same.
