I want to start learning about Judism by mysterious gurl2007-10-08 08:22:14

This is from my standpoint as a Jew with heavy Jewish Renewal influence on my view.
As it's a non-proselytizing religion and lots of people are curious you may find interesting information.
There are some significant differences between the Christian view of the "Old Testament" and the Jewish view of the Torah.
It's a religion that has a 3500 year history so there is a huge amount of data. There is also the Talmud which is basically a codification of discussions on oral law and fine points of Torah verse.
There are also two important items to be aware of:
1 - There is not now nor has been for over 2000 years a central Jewish authority.
2 - Two Jews, three opinions - not totally a joke as the very name "Israel" refers to struggling with G-d.
Have fun.
