What is the Targum?
A targum is an Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible. There are several, but if someone says just "the Targum" they are probably referring to the Targum of Onkelos. This targum still studied regularly by Jews today. In making a translation, any translator has to interpret the text being translated, and Onkelos' translation serves as an important commentary on the Bible.

Why was the septuagint rejected by the Jews?
Rejected? More like irrelevant, because Greek was not a major Jewish language. After Rome expelled the Jews from their land and renamed it Philistia, the center of the Jewish world shifted to Babylon. Aramaic was the language of the region, and therefore, the translations of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic were the most widely studied. The most influential of these translations was the Targum of Onkelos (curiously, a very Greek name -- Onkelos was a convert to Judaism, and from his name, it's a fair guess that he was Greek.) By the year 1000, the center of Jewish scholarship was shifting north of the Alps and west into Spain.Through all this time, the Septuigant was considered a legitimate translation. However, knowledgeable Jews then and to this day focus their scholarship on the original Hebrew (and in some later books like Daniel, Aramaic). All translations are viewed as commentaries on the text and do not have the authority of the original text.

Is Judaism a closed religion?
Judaism has always accepted converts. Moses's wife was the daughter of a Midianite priest. Ruth, the ancestor of King David was a Moabite convert. Onkelos, the creator of the most important translation of the Hebrew Bible into Aramaic was a Greek or Roman convert. However, Judaism is not a missionary religion because it does not hold that it is the only path to righteousness, and because for much of the past 2000 years, converts to Judaism and sometimes those who oversee their conversion have been subject to serious consequences, including at many times the death penalty.
