Answer 1

God is One
All of us stood together at Sinai
We are partners with God in "repairing" the world (tikkun olam)
All the righteous of the nations have a share in the world-to-come
Our goal is PEACE -- SHALOM

Judaism worships a God who is the Father of all humanity, whose attributes of kindness, mercy, compassion, and justice are to serve as examples for all our actions.

Judaism teaches that every person is created in God's image and therefore is of supreme value.

Judaism asserts that people are to be co-workers with God in preserving and improving the earth. We are to be stewards of the world's resources and to see that God's bounties are used for the benefit of all. Nothing that has value can be wasted or destroyed unnecessarily.

Judaism stresses that we are to love other people as ourselves, to be kind to strangers, "for we were strangers in the land of Egypt," and show compassion to the homeless, the poor, the orphan, the widow, even for enemies, and for all of God's creatures.

Judaism places great emphasis on reducing hunger. A Jew who helps to feed a hungry person is considered, in effect, to have fed God.

Judaism mandates that we seek and pursue peace. Great is peace, for it is one of God's names, all God's blessings are contained in it, it must be sought in times of war, and it will be the first blessing brought by the Messiah.

Judaism exhorts us to pursue justice, to work for a society where each person has the ability to obtain, through creative labor, the means to lead a dignified life for himself and his family.

Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression and injustice, and a constant struggle against idolatry.

Answer 2

JT's answer would be perfect, if zimbabe needed these items for a klan meeting. ;)

Just out of curiosity, zimbabe, what is it for? A homework assignment, perhaps? Unfortunately, the Jewish people today are divided on a lot of issues, and a lot of ideologies call themselves Judaism. Assuming you want to know what it is Judaism teaches (based, that is, on the Jewish scriptures), I think I can help. The philosopher Maimonides compiled a list of 13 foundational principles of Judaism that is basically considered the gold standard of Jewish teachings. That should help you fill in the remaining four, with plenty left over!

Here you go:

1) Belief in the existence of the Creator, be He Blessed, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists.
2) The belief in G-d's absolute and unparalleled unity.
3) The belief in G-d's noncorporeality, nor that He will be affected by any physical occurrences, such as movement, or rest, or dwelling.
4) The belief in G-d's eternity.
5) The imperative to worship Him exclusively and no foreign false gods.
6) The belief that G-d communicates with man through prophecy.
7) The belief that the prophecy of Moses our teacher has priority.
8) The belief in the divine origin of the Torah.
9) The belief in the immutability of the Torah.
10) The belief in divine omniscience and providence.
11) The belief in divine reward and retribution.
12) The belief in the arrival of the Messiah and the messianic era.
13) The belief in the resurrection of the dead.

I hope this helps.
