Best Answer

In Judaism, there is halacha (law) and minhag (tradition). When a tradition becomes classified as a 'minhag', it has almost the same status as a law. In order for a religiously observant Jew to live as a religiously observant Jew, they must know not only the halachot (pl) but also the minhagim (pl).

Outside of the issue of minhag, Judaism is a religion based on action. The traditions of Judaism are a key element of living life as a Jew.

Are Jewish beliefs real?

It depends on what the question is asking. If it is trying to figure out whether Jews are real people who have actual traditions and beliefs or a mythical people who do not actually exist and whose beliefs are therefore fictitious (like the Magisterium in the Pullman Novels), Jews are real people and they believe the things that they purport to believe (as opposed to what their detractors tend to say). If the question is whether the Jewish beliefs about the world are correct or not, this is a question of faith. Every person will come to answer this question as his heart tells him. Read the Jewish Scriptures, commentaries, and learn about Jewish festivals, and then you can make a decision as to whether you believe what Jews claim or that you do not believe it.
