Answer 1Shariah law is similar to Judaic law as Mohammed copied from the Jews (at first he wanted to be the last Jewish prophet but was rejected by them). The difference is that the Jews have progressed beyond stoning and having more than one wife. Of course, there are idiosyncrasies of pre-Islamic culture within Islam that was not in Judaism, such as pilgrimage to Makkah.
Answer 2
Shariah law is similar to Jewish halacha in that both sets of laws are associated with religions. However, the laws, and application of those laws are radically different between the two religions.
As for the examples provided above, clarification must be provided. In the case of capital punishment, such a sentence can only be passed by the Sanhedrin according to Jewish law. Plus, the burden of proof required to sentence someone to death is so high according to Jewish law that it is almost impossible to set such a sentence. This is highlighted by the fact that a Sanhedrin that sentenced even one person to death in 70 years would have been noted for that one sentence.
In regard to multiple wives, the only reason as to why Jews do no have multiple wives is because secular law in most country does not allow this. In countries where polygamy is allowed, some Jews do choose to have multiple wives.

What are the similarities between a imam and a rabbi?
Islamic communities and mosques usually have an imam. Jewish communities and synagogues usually have a rabbi. Neither Jewish nor Islamic services require an ordained leader. In both communities, any knowledgeable layman can lead services. Rabbis are expected to know halacha, Jewish law, and imams are expected to know sharia, Islamic law. Rabbis are expected to know the Torah and the associated oral tradition, the Talmud. Imams are expected to know the Koran and its associated oral tradition, the Hadith.

Who is Judaism's current leader?
The closest there is to a 'current leader' in Judaism is the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, that gives the 'most authoritative' interpretation of the law; precisely how authoritative it is, however, is a matter for a 'characteristic divergence of opinions' to put it simply, in Judaism :)Answer:Judaism hasn't had a single leader for two thousand years, let alone a current one. Each Jewish community has its own Rabbi or Rabbis. Answer:There is no "current leader" in Judaism as Judaism is not a centralised religion.
