An answer from the WikiAnswers community:
The Jewish religion is similar to the Christian religion in many aspects. These include the beleif in one almighty ruler of the universe, the notion that all men are created equally (though in different ways) and that kindness among people of the world is perhaps the most important aspect of living. Although there are many differences, the overall moral code is similar for both religions.
Jewish people do not believe in the Christian notion that Jesus was the holy son of God, or (depending on the branch of Christianity) that Jesus was God incarnated on Earth. That does not mean that the Jewish people nessicarily believe that Jesus' teachings of kindness were misguiding, but they do believe that the concept of Jesus posing as one with a seat at the right hand of the Father was inexcusable and for this reason they exclude him from religious study.
Of course, many people would agree that the Old Testament God was somewhat of a tyranical overload and that with the exclusion of the New Testament Jews accept their God as such. However, this is not nessicarily true. Ultimately its a matter of opinion. Some may look past the Old Testament God's actions against humans and see the greater good in what he was doing- preserving the goodness of existence.
Ultimately all religion is a matter of opinion. There are many different aspects that separate Christians from Jews, but Jews do generally believe the following key points:
1.There is a God- He created the Universe, as well as man. He Judges man and seperates the Righteous from the Fallen by uplifting them to either Heaven, or by damning them to hell.
2.To be considered Righteous you must...
-Beleive in the one almighty Father and respect his word.
-Remain kind to all despite the sinful nature of things.
3.Jesus was a preacher, but not a prophet- In no way was he the son of God and he most certainly was not an incarnation of him.
4.God's word is absolute- You should obey his word without second thought and initiate the plan he has set for you.

To be Jewish can mean you either practice the Jewish religion, or are from a Jewish decent. It is both a race and a religion. Someone that is culturally Jewish may not practice the religion, but has a Jewish heritage. Likewise, people that do practice the Jewish religion do not have to be culturally Jewish, or have Jewish ancestors.
