Judaism does not have a single main prophet the way Christianity (Jesus) or Islam (Muhammad) does.

Moses is often considered the greatest prophet since he spoke directly to God and brought the Torah (Bible) down from Mount Sinai, but Abraham is considered the first Jew.

The major prophets of the Hebrew Bible were:

Joshua יוהשע

Samuel שמואל

Isaiah ישעיהו

Jeremiah ירמיהו

Ezekiel יחזקאל

Hosea or Hoshea [הושע]

Joel or Yo'el [יואל]

Amos [עמוס]

Obadiah or Ovadyah [עובדיה]

Jonah or Yonah [יונה]

Micah or Mikhah [מיכה]

Nahum or Nachum [נחום]

Habakkuk or Habaquq [חבקוק]

Zephaniah or Tsefania [צפניה]

Haggai or Haggai [×—×’×™]

Zechariah Zekharia [זכריה]

Malachi or Malakhi [מלאכי]

Answer 2

I would say that Moses is the main Prophet of Judaism, since he was God's Spokesman, when opposing the Pharaoh over the slavery of the Jewish people in Egypt, & because he was the one whom God Chose as His Lawgiver to the Jews.

Although Abraham is regarded as the first Jew, it is because he is the forefather of the Jewish people (as well as the Christians, Muslims, & Baha'is).

What are the 1000 questions the Jews posed to Prophet Muhammad?

It is difficult to list the 1000 questions here. However, what is important is that all the questions posed by the Jews to prophet Muhammad had been answered ans were matching what are in their holy books, known to public or hidden from the public by the Jewish religious leaders. However, most of them didn't believe in Islam and prophet Muhammad as they were wishing to have the last prophet from their community and not from Arabs.

NO. He is not the only Jewish prophet or considered to be the first Jewish prophet (by Jews). However, Jews consider him to be the most important prophet because of his (1) closeness to God, (2) his actions in leading the Jewish people out of Egypt and slavery, and (3) his delivery of the Divine Law, which religious Jews still follow to this day.
