That's a big question for Y/A! A lot of people that have answered so far don't seem to actually be Jewish. I'll try to be succinct, and answer in 3 parts. I might add...you'd be hard pressed to find 3 Jews with the exact same definition! We can basically agree on these main points...

A. Jews believe in G-d.

B. Jesus has no relevance in our lives. I am sorry if this offends anyone, but it is like asking a Christian how they feel about Shiva, a Muslim about Thor, etc. Just doesn't pertain. Different belief system. (Messianic Jews are a whole different ball game...most Jews will agree they are a Christian sect).

C. G-d is one.

My rabbi told us as children, "he" is everywhere and everything. We refer to him in a masculine term in general but have a feminine term as well. Another topic all together!

G-d has no form, is omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, and omnipresent. "He" just...is. "He" is accepting and forgiving. Prayer, repentance and charity are Jewish modes of living.

It is a really simple answer, and another more educated, and perhaps Orthodox person can say it better than me!

Alas, you've been given some incorrect answers. Jews don't believe that Jesus was a prophet; to us he was just a young Jewish carpenter, and one of many teachers, a 'rabbi' that was around at that time.

Judaism was the first monotheistic religion. In other words, we believe in one G-d and one G-d only. Our relationship with him is direct, in comparison to Catholics, for instance, who can get absolution from a Priest. Jews cannot do this. On Yom Kippur, the Day Of Atonement, we pray directly to G-d; indeed this is true of all prayers we do.

a million) Jesus is the founder, Paul is his disciple. two) Yes - maintain Jesus' commandments. Excellent selection. three) Yes - Jesus stated this to the Jews earlier than the status quo of the New Covenant. And while Peter, who was once there, stated that the Gentiles don't have got to comply with those laws, the 12 in Jerusalem (my bet - the 12 apostles) agreed with him. (Acts 15) Most *real* Christians at present comply with what Paul *and* Jesus stated. Circumcision stuff a million) True - permanent covenant with the Jews. Still there. Hasn't disappeared. two) Good factor - God instructed Abraham "thou and thy seed after thee". I have got to let you know, that makes me pleased that I'm now not Jewish. three) Jesus, a Jew, was once circumcised. Of path. four) To say Paul "deserted" circumcision is lovely powerful, in view that that he simplest proposed that Gentiles now not be *required* to end up circumcised. He didn't command them to refuse circumcision, and undoubtedly his letters don't command that Jews will have to now not circumcise their kids. five) First- written to the Galatians, Gentiles. Second - taken out of context. v eight: This persuasion didn't come from Him who calls you. If you learn the whole bankruptcy, it's transparent that when once more, in contradiction to the 12 in Jerusalem, Peter (and, now not coincidentally, Paul), any individual was once educating the Gentile Christians of Galatia that they have got to be circumcised. 6) Paul by no means invalidated any permanent covenant. The covenant of circumcision nonetheless exists. 7) Paul broke no covenant. It was once by no means inside his vigor to take action. Jim

God was never a created being. He was always there, and He is the exact representation of Jesus the Christ. Before He only show Himself to the Jews, now He will show Himself to you, if you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him. Believe me He is worth seeking because once you find Him you will experience the great joy of your life. Take it from one who has found Him me! Stash

The Jewish faith is very close to that of Cristianity, except for the New Testament. Thus, God would be the answer.

The Jewish religion believes in the same God christians believe in, they just don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah, they think that Jesus was a prophet, and they are still searching for the Messiah. This is completely contradictory to the christian faith, as our belief is based around Jesus being the Messiah.

Jews know that God is one God and his name is Jehovah. Sadly they think his name is superstitious to say so therefore God's personal name has been omitted from the Bible, but we know it is there at least 7000 times. They do not acknowledge Jesus as God's son, but we as Bible readers of the whole Bible know he is God's son. Jesus just is not God himself.
