The Jews believe that they are God's chosen people, and that Israel is the promised Land - promised to them by God. Read Exodus in the Bible to get an idea. The laws & traditoins of judaism have been handed down since those times, and mark out their specialness as a people. There are strict laws about eating, eg u cannot have meat and milk together, so Jewish households have 2 sets of cooking stuff. Food has to be kosher (permitted). The Sabbath is observed in the home and at Synagogue. The idea of the promised land is at the heart of the conflict in the Middle East, as the Jews now possess it again & will never let it go. Some of the disputed territories form part of that original land. Interestinlgy, if u read the story of Abraham, u will discover that the ancestor of the Arabs and the ancestor of the Jews were half- brothers - same dad(Abraham) different mums (Sarah for the Jews, Haggai for the Arabs). It's a bit random but I hope it helps.

Jewishness is not a religion but a way of living to please an almighty, all-powerful Lord. Traditions are not something you do, passed down. Traditional ways are commanded by that Lord. To not serve that Lord would mean eternal damnation. It is not something you do but someone you become, a servant to the Lord.
