To rephrase your question...
"What does the moral foundation for all of western civilization say about morality?" (:
The giving of the Torah (which is the core of Judaism - anything calling itself "Judaism" that is not in full accordance with the Torah, both Oral and Written, is counterfeit) marked a revolution in ethics, the birth of an ethical system that stood in stark contrast to the Ancient Egyptian society from within which the Jewish people were removed. A few thousand years later, a Jew named Yeshua (which became Iesous in Greek, hence "Jesus" in English - had the translation been direct from Aramaic to English, Christians today would be praying in the name of someone named Josh) came and taught a lot of things that come straight from Torah, and a lot of things that were contrary to Torah. The result was a Jewish cult that eventually became a different religion altogether, but a religion with sparks of truth in it, and a lot on the ball.
