Pronounced Joo-Dee-Izum (as opposed to joo-day-izum), Judaism is the first monotheistic religion still around today, and possibly of all time. Unlike many other religions, Judaism doesnt want you to follow [The Torah] exactly, and gives room for you to live your own life. There are many different forms of Judaism, but there are 4 very big ones:
The first type of jew is orthodox. These jews follow the book very strictly, such as keeping [kosher], wearing kippas and lighting [shabbat] candles; although they still have room to wear normal clothes and appear as normal people.
Second type: Hasidic. Hasidic jews are like orthodox jews who also wear nice clothes, a hat, and have peyes (The Curly Sideburns) usually when a jew is stereotyped in a movie this is how they appear, two famous hasidic jews are [The Hebrew Hammer] (fictional), and [Matisyahu] (a Hasidic Jew who raps in the Jamaican style).
The third type is conservative: These jews follow many jewish rules, but do not always keep kosher and wear [yarmulkes] (another word for [kippah]). I used to be conservative, but my temple was snobby so we found a new one.
The last type is reform: Reform jews are still jews who practice their religion (or at least I do) but have adjusted to the modern world, such as wearing normal clothes, not ALWAYS keeping kosher, and not lighting sabbath candles. I am reform, and enjoy being so because its like having a comfortable recliner.

SEE: NOT [Zionism]. -
A [monotheistic] religion that has its origins in Levantine [Yahwism] (the Old Testament religion). Judaism began about 200 B.C. and places emphasis on Rabbinical teaching. The supreme authority for Judaism is the Talmud, a large collection of rabbinical writings and biblical commentaries. Judaism had its major influence in [Babylonian] and Egyptian religions. Judaism traces its teachings to the Pharisees, an old group of teachers from the early first century and onward to the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Its core beliefs include the belief in one God, the coming of the Messiah, and the notion that the Jews are the Chosen People of God.

A religion premised on [the view] that a [radioactive] bearded man who built the universe and invented the idea that it is [not okay] to steal decided to favor a race of people because they are related to a guy who would have killed his son.
-
A meta-paradigm (religion-of-self) that orients ethics (law) as [originative] from linear time.
Judaism metastatically argues that SENTIMENT is [ontological] (lineal) thus delineating an [ontology] from feeling to ethic.
