Abraham was born in 3812 BCE in Ur, in the kingdom of Nimrod (Genesis ch.11). Unlike the rest of the populace, he took the trouble to investigate and contemplate the claims of the ubiquitous idolaters, and came to the conclusion that God is One. As such, he is called the founder of what we call Judaism. He later came to the Holy Land following a prophecy from God (ibid ch.12), and taught his beliefs to his family and descendants, Isaac(born 3712 BCE) and Jacob (born 1652 BCE). Genesis ch.12-50 is a biography of this family.
Jacob and his family went down to Egypt during a famine (Genesis ch.46), in 1522 BCE, for a sojourn of 210 years. They at first enjoyed prosperity under the Israelite viceroy, Joseph, but later (around 1428 BCE), the Egyptians enslaved them (Exodus ch.1) by stages, from mild to oppressive.
Moses, born in 1392 BCE, was the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12; Deuteronomy ch.34), and was called upon by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus ch.3) following the Ten Plagues (ibid ch.7-12), and to convey God's Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai (Exodus ch.19, and 24:12), where God proclaimed the Ten Commandments in front of the assembled Israelite people (Exodus ch.19-20). These events were in 1312 BCE.
The Israelites sojourned in the wilderness for forty years (Numbers ch.14) under the direction of God (Numbers 9:15-23), during which they built the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40) as commanded (ibid ch.25-31).
Joshua (born 1354 BCE) was the disciple of Moses (Numbers 11:28) who was chosen by God (Numbers ch.27) to lead the Israelites into the Holy Land, in fulfillment of God's promise to their forefathers (Genesis ch.13, 26, and 28). They entered the Land in 1272 BCE.
The period from Joshua's death (1244 BCE) until King Saul (878 BCE) is the era of the Judges, including Deborah, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson and others. The recurring pattern was that some or most of the Israelites would slide into idolatry, the nation would be oppressed by one of its neighbors, they would repent, and God would inspire one of the Judges to conquer the enemy (Judges ch.2).
The Monarchy lasted 456 years, during which the First Temple, built by King Solomon (1 Kings ch.6-8) in 832BCE, stood for 410 years. The Prophets included Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, etc.; and the righteous kings included Saul, David, Solomon, Asa, Yehoshaphat, Yehoash, Amatziah, Azariah, Yotam, Hizkiah, and Josiah. Due to the lure of idolatry, there were wicked kings too: Ahaz, Menashe, Amon, and others.
The First Temple was destroyed in 422 BCE by the Babylonians. The Second Temple, built in 352 BCE, stood for 420 years. Soon after its construction, prophecy ended; and the Sanhedrin of that generation sealed the canon (see Talmud, Bava Batra 14b). Then the Greek period of dominance began. During this era was the miracle of Hanukkah, the Hasmoneans, and the spiritual damage done by the Hellenizing Jews and the Sadducees. The Second Temple was destroyed in 68 CE by the Romans.
The Jewish Sages, seeing the increasingly far-flung dispersal of the exiles, realized that the time had come to seal the Torah-law discussions of the Oral Torah; and through their efforts the Mishna was put in its final wording in around 190 CE; and its Talmudic debates, in around 500 CE. This was the redaction of the Torah-traditions that were handed down in an unbroken chain reaching back to Mount Sinai, where the Laws had been given with their oral commentary.

Our tradition is that Abraham began what we call Judaism, around 1800 BCE. See the attached Related Link for a full timeline. _______________________________________________________ Judaism was not started by prophet Abraham. Judaism religion started by God revelation of Torah to Moses (peace be upon them). It is dated around 1300 BCE.
Judaism is not considered the father of all religions. Most of the world's religions have no connection to Judaism. Biblical Judaism is considered the parent religion of the Abrahamic Religions (Modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam)
