Let me guess - you're one of those people who thinks Judaism is basically Christianity but just the old testament, right? You have no idea what the Jews believe, only that it can't possibly be bad or else it's /pol/ propaganda.
Judaism as a term didn't even exist until after Christianity came about. It was oral tradition that was written down in the Mishna after Christ, then later expanded upon in the larger Talmud in what's referred to as the Gemara. Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmu compilations differ, but Babylonian one has the most authority.
So already we've got the Mishna, the Gemara, the Torah and the Kabbalah, and that's to say nothing of the various rabbinic writings that while not canon scripture are considered holy texts and necessary for an understanding of the Jewish faith. The Mishna/Gemara are, by themselves, around 63 separate tractates, a good portion of these texts is just a compilation of strange cultural practices including what direction to face when pooping, how to hold up your penis when peeing so as to not incite arousal, honestly it's fucking weird. A lot of these writings came a good 100-200 years after Christ's death, too.
The ultimate point being, yes, Judaism is largely a set of traditions. Most of the Jewish writings don't have anything to do with god, only with legal disputes and rabbinic opinions on everything and nothing at all. Their holy texts even include passages where the rabbis reportedly outsmart god, which should be all the information you need on "tradition vs actual religion".
For you specifically, stop being such a retard. You're on a Christian board, by canon you're supposed to believe Jews are in error for rejecting Christ the messiah. If your knee-jerk reaction to anything that explains the error of Jewry is "GUHHH WOOOWW GO BACK TO /POL/" you need to look inwards and do some thinking my man.
