The traditional answer is that God wants Jews to obey the 613 commandments found in the Torah (the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy in The Bible). To be a Jew is to be bound by those commandments, and a convert to Judaism must "accept the yoke of the commandments." Jews have been arguing about what it means to keep the commandments ever since they were given. The record of that argument begins with the writings of the prophets in the Bible and continues through the arguments discussed in the Talmud to the Jewish literature of the current day. The name Israel given to the patriarch Jacob and his descendants can be read to mean "to wrestle with God" and much of Jewish literature can be read as a record of this Wrestling.
