Very few people, other than Jews themselves, study Judaism. Some Christians equate the study of the Old Testament with the study of Judaism, but this is not really true, and actually misleading. Knowing the Old Testament is not the same as knowing Judaism.
It may be important for scholars and Messianic Jews to study Judaism. Fortunately, it is not important for other non-Jewish people to study Judaism.
