I have been practically searching the internet for just about forever trying to find what contributions Judaism (as a religion not specific Jewish people) made on the world. I really need help finding internet links that can provide me with this information for a project. Thanks!

My best suggestion is a book:
Thomas Cahill /The Gifts of the Jews/.
He says that Judaism contributed, among other things, a world-view of a perfectable future, in other words, the very concept of "progress".

Did you try searching for Jewish Contributions to Society?

Umm...kosher beef hotdogs? idk
Not trying to be irreverent. I was thinking, how can a religion/set of beliefs possibly have tangible contributions to society? And then I tried to think about what we wouldn't have if the Jewish religion never existed, and kosher hotdogs are my favorite, so it came to my head.
