There is no universal figurehead of Judaism like the Pope etc. Judaism functions in a Congregationalist way, with every synagogue headed by a Rabbi who will ascribe to a movement of Judaism and endorse the general views of the movement's leadership (made of more Rabbis in a democratic assembly).

Answer:Moses. (I think the question was referring to human leaders, not God. Among the leaders, Moses is the answer to the question.)

Judaism is a strictly monotheistic religion, meaning it has one God. The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are a contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.

In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews use the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.
