Unlike Christianity, where belief is a big thing, Jews have traditionally emphasized behavior as being more important than belief. What you do matters more than why you do it or what you believe about it. I guess you could say that that in itself is a typical Jewish belief. The central creedo of Judaism is "Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is one!" This rules out all forms of polytheism. Jews do not agree on what God is. In fact, one of the greatest Jewish philosophers, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, or Maimonides, said that we cannot say anything positive about God, but can only define God by what God is not. Most Jews will agree that if you think you have a definite idea of what God is, you are probably wrong because whatever God is, it is more than we can imagine.

Are Jewish beliefs real?
It depends on what the question is asking. If it is trying to figure out whether Jews are real people who have actual traditions and beliefs or a mythical people who do not actually exist and whose beliefs are therefore fictitious (like the Magisterium in the Pullman Novels), Jews are real people and they believe the things that they purport to believe (as opposed to what their detractors tend to say). If the question is whether the Jewish beliefs about the world are correct or not, this is a question of faith. Every person will come to answer this question as his heart tells him. Read the Jewish Scriptures, commentaries, and learn about Jewish festivals, and then you can make a decision as to whether you believe what Jews claim or that you do not believe it.
