Is it just like the Christian Jesus or Allah? Or do they worship someone else?

Sorry if I sound insanely stupid. But im only 13 and ive been raised a Catholic my whole life and I was just wondering cause no one at my school or city is Jewish. And since it is Hanakkuh I thought I would learn about it. Thanks for all your answers!

Yaweh (sp?). They have the same God as Christians. They don't write the word 'God' though. They write 'G_d' because they believe it's offensive to God to write His name on paper, and then eventually throw it away or destroy it.

The Jewish God is called God. The same god as the Christian God. The difference is that Jews don't believe that Jesus is the Son of god as it is believed by christians.

Doesn't it depend on what language you speak? If you are an Arabic Jew, you call him Allah. If you are an Italian, you call him Dio, Spanish Jews say Dios, Germans say Gott.
English-speakers say god. Stop pretending that each of the three major religions have different gods. The born-again Christians have created their own personal reality that has very little to do with the rest of the world

While the other answers are true, most Jews in the western world refer to God by using the name "Hashem" (literally "the name"). All names found in the bible are considered holy, and only to be used in prayers and religious study, while "Hashem" is a more casual way to mention Him without being disrespectful. He is the same God, however.

In Judaism God has several names. The most important name of God is the Tetragrammaton, YHVH. Some conjecture that it was pronounced "Yahweh". Jews also call God Adonai, or "my Lord." Since pronouncing YHVH is considered sinful, Jews would use Adonai instead in prayers.
Other Jewish names of God include:
* Adonai Emet (Truth)
* Tzur Yisrael (The Rock of Israel)
* Elohei Avraham, Yitzchak v'Ya'acov (God of Abraham, God of Isaac,
God of Jacob)
* Ehiyeh sh'Ehiyeh (I Am That I Am)
* Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father, our King)
* Ro'eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel)
* Ha-Kadosh, Baruch Hu (The Holy One, Praised be He)
* Melech ha-M'lachim (The King of Kings)
* Makom (literally, the Place; means "The Omnipresent")
* Magen Avraham (Shield of Abraham)

He is called Yaweh and Elohim in the OT, but is the same God as the Christian God and possibly the same as the Muslim God Allah. All come from the Old Testament.

He is what he is-he says. Some called him Hashim-to keep from saying the word. I never write the word as it is too holy. I will write it like this----G-d. Many Jews do call him G-d.
Tasha---the Book of Yahweh is not the Jewish Bible. Our Holy Scriptures is called the Tanakh.

YHWH Yahweh
Some believe it is not to be spoken or written in full.
It is the same God but with a different name and practices of worship.

They have the same God as Christians, they just don't believe that Jesus is the son of God. They don't use the New Testament.
