Answer 2

All the hundreds of mitzvoth (commands), principles and beliefs of the Torah.

Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses." In this sense, the word "Torah" is meant in its wider meaning, which includes the Tanakh, the Talmud, and other classical Jewish texts.
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.

Jewish tradition includes both big and small rituals. Before eating any food, there is a short blessing, the details of which depend on the food. There is a longer sequence of blessings that follows a meal, longer or shorter depending on whether the meal contained bread. Just before sunset at the start of the Sabbath and holy days, there is a ritual of candle lighting, with the associated blessings depending on the day. At the end of the Sabbath and holy days, there is a ritual of separation, havdallah, involving a multi-wick candle, wine and spices. Meals after evening and morning Sabbath and festival services, whether the services are at home or in the synagogue, begin with Kiddush, a blessing over wine and then bread. Synagogue services follow a fixed liturgy, and on days when the Torah is read, there are rituals surrounding that. Boys are ritually circumcised at age 8 days, typically with invited guests and at least a modest party following. At age 13, boys are bar mitzvah (girls are bat mitzvah), and this is usually celebrated at a service with a party following. Weddings include numerous rituals such as unveiling the bride, signing the ketubah (marriage contract), the bride circling the groom, and the groom smashing a glass. Divorce requires an appearance before a rabinnical court, where the husband gives a get, a divorce document, to the wife, finalizing the divorce. At death, the hevurah kedusha, burial society, gives the body a ritual washing before dressing it all in white and putting it in a burial shroud (and optionally, in a coffin). After burial and a brief graveside service, all of the mourners shovel some dirt into the grave, holding the shovel upside down as they do it in order to symbolize reluctance to do the job. For the next week, the close mourners sit shiva, accepting comfort from the community and doing no work. For the next year, mourners say the mourners' kaddish whenever they attend communal prayers.
