There are a couple but the main leaders are:
rabbi's- who are leaders in the synagogues or temples
Abraham- the founder of Jewish faith
Moses- who led the Jews out of Egypt and gave them the 10 Commandments
Yahweh- the name they use for God, yet Jews believe that they are not worthy to utter Gods name so it is never said, evening when reading the Torah if they come across the name they do not speak it. Instead they use the name Adonai

Who is the leader of the religion judaism?
Judaism is primarily a congregationalist religion, so most Rabbis, while recognized by other Rabbis, have no power over other Rabbis. (This is contrary to Catholocism or Orthodox Christianity where Bishops have power over local Priests, etc.) Some Rabbis have more clout, such as the Chief Rabbis of several countries, but they only have the clout they have because other Rabbis agree with their position, not because of the name of the position. Currently the Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Israel is Rabbi David Lau (the son of Yisrael Meir Lau, a former Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi) and the Chief Sephardic Rabbi of Israel is Yitzhak Yosef (the son of Ovadia Yosef, a former Chief Sephardic Rabbi). However, neither of these individuals has the kind of power to be a real "leader".
