Answer 1
Both were intellectually based.
Judaism considers the physical world to be a resource toward ultimate comprehension of the spiritual world.
Hellenism considered spiritual matters to be a resource toward ultimate comprehension of the physical world.
Answer 2
Jewish traditions reveal the Hellenists as epicureans and also as Universalists. They were a modernizing force; and, at the same time, idolaters. The Torah was unknown to them. All of these traits are antithetical to Judaism.
In Hebrew, the attitude of Hellenist-Jews was classically (and esoterically) known as "Inscribe to you on the horn of the ox that you'll have no part in God's Torah" (Midrash Rabbah 2:4). The deeper meaning is beyond the scope of this answer, but the words include the plain meaning of abandonment of the Torah. Through their anti-religious actions the Hellenizers publicly demonstrated their desire to mingle into Greek society, permanently. Thus, an implicit pact with the Greeks was formed, whether one-sided or mutual. In addition, many people are unaware that the Syrian-Greeks were not the ones who initiated the outlawing of Torah-observances. It was the Hellenizers, who actively petitioned the Syrian-Greeks to create and enforce the anti-religious decrees. The Greeks, for their part, on more than one occasion wondered out loud why they had gotten so entangled in the internal life of the Jews (since simple governance and taxation had until then been the limit of their involvement).See also:
Judaism is about how to apply Divine Revelation to the Real World. As a result, things have inherent value, purpose, and meaning. The laws of nature and the natural activities of the body need to be directed to accord with these values, purposes, and meanings. Two examples of this worldview are that every human has value regardless of whether that human is disabled and that homosexuality cannot be acted upon since it is considered a violation of the proper nature of a human. Essence precedes existence.
Hellenism is about how to shape an understanding of the world that reflects human desire and perception. Meanings, values, and purposes are only valid so long as the accord with a current perception. The human is central and that which does not build him up, protect him, and defend him is useless. Two examples of this worldview are that humans are only as valuable as their possible contribution to society (Spartans would discard disabled children to be eaten by wolves), but homosexuality when motivated by desire or nature is completely permissible. Essence is fundamentally determined by existence.

Jewish people belong to the Judaism, so they believe (most of them) in the Jewish stories and bible; but every Jewish man has his own story, so we can't say every Jew has the same history of the Judaism.
There is no belief in Judaism that the world will end. Judaism believes that when the Jewish Maschiach (messiah) arrives, he will usher in world peace, and 'perfect the world' so that we have G-d's kingdom, right here on earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The term Hellenistic is most often used in describing the features of ancient Greek culture that can be dated to the fall of Troy to the end of the Byzantine Empire in 1453. Long before ancient Rome dominated the Mediterranean world, the ancient Greek language, culture, government types, architecture, philosophies, methods of trading, religions, methods of warfare, and "life styles in general" were termed Hellenistic. In fact, Greek colonies in the western half of the Mediterranean, spread their "Hellenism'" to what is now western Spain, Southern Italy, and parts of North Africa. The influence of ancient Greek culture was spread by the Macedonian armies of Alexander the Great. At the time of Cleopatra, Egypt had been ruled by Greek related rulers. Ancient Greek was so prevalent that the New Testament portion of the Bible was written in Greek.
'And so my fellow Americans, ask not, what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.Or, for example, antithetical parallelism is the repetition of terms of a poetic couplet in meaning, such as in "the thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counselsof the wicked are deceitful".
im assuming u mean hellinistic culture, so my answer is that it was the time after Alexander's conquest to Roman rule and was a time of discovery in art, science, literature, etc. think aristotle, plato, hippocrates....
Judaism spread fast so equals yes
Nothing. Jews do not seek converts. If a person wishes to convert to Judaism, they are permitted to do so, but Judaism teaches that Judaism should not be proselytized.
Judaism does not proselytize, so it grows only through reproduction and migration.
Judaism didn't help or hinder Hebrew. Hebrew is the main language through which Judaism is expressed. So it's more accurate to say the Hebrew helped Judaism.
From the momentt of Christianity's inception, it began breaking away from Judaism. So the phrase "in Judaism" is not the most accurate way to put it.
Not in so many words.

You need to answer this question because we don’t do homework. Your teacher is looking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson not ours.
"Judaism" is not something that is itself venerated. Jews worship God and do so by the rites and rituals prescribed by Judaism. Jews pray at Synagogues.
