The people of Judaism believe in God. God is believed to be the creator and the master of the universe who is all-knowing. God is formless and eternal who the Jewish believe handed the laws to Moses to share and teach with us here on earth. It is also believed that God will send the Messiah, our savior. Sometime in the future there will be the resurrection of the good who will be brought up to Heaven.
Practices
The Jewish focus more on the "correct practice" (orthopraxy) rather than on the "correct belief" (orthodoxy). Therefore, there are many practices in Judaism that many people follow.
The Jewish Sabbath
This is central to all forms of Judaism. the 7th day of the week is known as a special day and is the time to pray and relax. This is similar to Christianity and going to church and not going to work on Sundays. The Jewish Sabbath recalls to the six days that God took to create the universe.

Dietary Practices
Food handling and preparation must be done according to religious laws. It must be "Kosher" food which is food prepared and consumed by religious laws. It is "ritually correct". For example, all the blood in meat must be drained before preparing and consuming it because blood is sacred to God. Pork and shellfish is forbidden because they are considered as scavengers. Meat and dairy must also not be mixed together at all.
