Judaism does not have a single main prophet the way Christianity (Jesus) or Islam (Muhammad) does.
Moses is often considered the greatest prophet since he spoke directly to God and brought the Torah (Bible) down from Mount Sinai, but Abraham is considered the first Jew.
The major prophets of the Hebrew Bible were:
Joshua יוהשע
Samuel שמו×ל
Isaiah ישעיהו
Jeremiah ירמיהו
Ezekiel יחזק×ל
Hosea or Hoshea [הושע]
Joel or Yo'el [יו×ל]
Amos [עמוס]
Obadiah or Ovadyah [עובדיה]
Jonah or Yonah [×™×•× ×”]
Micah or Mikhah [מיכה]
Nahum or Nachum [× ×—×•×]
Habakkuk or Habaquq [חבקוק]
Zephaniah or Tsefania [×¦×¤× ×™×”]
Haggai or Haggai [×—×’×™]
Zechariah Zekharia [זכריה]
Malachi or Malakhi [מל××›×™]

I would say that Moses is the main Prophet of Judaism, since he was God's Spokesman, when opposing the Pharaoh over the slavery of the Jewish people in Egypt, & because he was the one whom God Chose as His Lawgiver to the Jews.
Although Abraham is regarded as the first Jew, it is because he is the forefather of the Jewish people (as well as the Christians, Muslims, & Baha'is).

∙ 9y agoMoses was the greatest prophet of Judaism. He was the one who gave them the Law. However, there were numerous other Jewish prophets (Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc.), but Moses is the most important.

∙ 9y agoThe greatest of the prophets was Moses (Deuteronomy ch.34).
The prophets were extremely learned and pious individuals, both men and women, whose superlative level of piety merited them with visions from God. They had to be humble, yet speak with authority. They had to love their people, yet not hesitate to speak caustic words if commanded to by God.
The prophets were called upon by God to guide the people and to guide the king. While the king had authority in national matters of state, and the Sanhedrin (Sages) had say in Torah-rulings and halakha (law), the prophets spoke in matters of ethics, of belief, of loyalty to God, and behavior. They rebuked the people at God's command, they predicted events which God revealed to them, they taught through Divine inspiration, and they provided optimism and hope with the prophecies of eventual Redemption.
Some of the prophetical chapters (or books) detail Israelite history and past events, some exhort the people to improve their spiritual level, some predict events and/or warn (especially concerning the First Destruction), some serve to comfort the nation, some speak of prayer and love of God, and some speak of life, experience and wisdom.
