"And Ozias begat Joatham" - God for Jewdaists

God for Jewdaists

Let's study how God has been understood by Hebrews, Israelites, Israelis, and Judaists.
The conception of God in Judaism is strictly monotheistic. God is an absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. Jewish tradition teaches that the true aspect of God is incomprehensible and unknowable, and that it is only God's revealed aspect that brought the universe into existence, and interacts with mankind and the world. In Judaism, the one God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is the guide of the world, delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, and gave them the 613 Mitzvot at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. [God, in true sense is, above everything else, undescribable, since He is only theoretically considered as ‘being in existence’ before creation of the world, since before creation there were nobody and noth-ing to give witness of His existence. In Kabbalah, God before creation is given the characterization of Ein-Sof. His creative aspect is then YHVH (YH as yah and VH as veh) with the meaning of ‘He who brings things into being’ or simply ‘creator’. Look about YHVH below]

God cannot be seen.  But Hebrews believed God exists.  And God brought the universe into existence.  This is still a basic concept of believers in the world even today.  It might not be so important how we call God, but Judaists have been serious in this point.
What does Judaism teach about God? 
In Judaism, ultimate reality is a single, all-powerful God. It is this belief that made the Jews unique among other ancient Semitic peoples and that became the legacy Judaism has passed on to the entire Western world. 
The sacred name of God, as revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus, is YHWH. Since ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, we do not know the original pronunciation of this word. The common pronunciation "Jehovah," however, is incorrect. It is derived from combining the vowels for Adonai ("Lord") with the four consonants of YHWH.
A more "correct" pronunciation, and that which is used among scholars, is "Yahweh." The discussion is irrelevant to observant Jews, however, as they do not pronounce this holiest of names. When the Torah is read aloud, Adonai ("Lord") is read in its place. This practice is reflected in most English translations, in which YHWH is rendered "LORD." Jews also refer to God as Hashem, "the Name."
The word YHWH is sometimes referred to as the Tetragrammaton, from the Greek for "four-lettered." It is also called The Forbidden Name or the Unutterable Name. The prohibition against pronouncing this name does not originate with the command to not take the Lord's name in vain, as is sometimes thought.
Although traditionally this only applies to the Name in Hebrew, some modern Jews also refrain from writing the word "God," replacing it instead with "G-d." Opinions vary within Judaism as to the necessity of such a practice.

Of course, they do not call their God Jesus.  If the Pope said to Judaists that the name of their God is Jesus, they will not respond.
Who Was Jesus?
The Jewish View of Jesus 
Stated simply, the Jewish view of Jesus of Nazareth is that he was an ordinary Jewish man and preacher living during the Roman occupation of the Holy Land in the first century C.E. The Romans executed him - and also executed many other nationalistic and religious Jews - for speaking out against Roman authority and abuses.

Indeed, it is too revolutionary for Jewdaists to believe that a man is also God.

But God is almighty.  He can be a man, though a man cannot be God.

However, who believed that God lives in a man-built temple?
