Best Answer

Orthodox Jews, rabbis, and Jews who are very spiritual, probably refer back to Jewish philosophers and to their Jewish beliefs for answers in addition to sources outside of Judaism. Less religious Jews will probably ask sources outside of Judaism for answers.

When it comes to scientific thinking like evolution, most Jews believe that religion can be interpreted many different ways, and need not conflict with scientific thinking.

How 2 Jewish thinkers have answered the mysteries of life.

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. The greatest mystery is God himself, since He is at the same time immanent yet deeply hidden. His wisdom is blindingly obvious, yet so easily ignored.
