>They both claimed to be coming down from a long tradition that supposedly came from the apostles. Jews say their tradition came down from Moses through oral form whereas Cathodox say it was handed down from the apostles through apostolic succession.
This.
Ultimately, both rabbinical judaism and christianity are a reaction to the collapse of Second Temple Judaism and it's Sanhendrin in 70AD, and how to incorporate the surviving populations, given we were the only religious schools alive after that(with everyone else being too small or too dead).
But whereas we proclaimed the Masiah has come, and invested his apostles and their succesors with authority over the faith of the God of Israel, and went international, the pharisees(might have not been them) turned inward, and the rabbis were forced to become regents of the ancient priesthood in their ancient didactic and leadership roles, until the "Messiah" comes, with everything being too geopolitically and geneologically confused until then.
They even kept the davidic bloodline inheritance clear until the Middle Ages, with the Exilarch system.

>whenever there's a confliction betwen the Torah and the Talmud, just pick the ego-stroking Talmud made just for you
You realize the Talmud is just a weird combination between Patristics and autistic, arguing rabbis doing Bible study, right?
It's blasphemous towards our faith at times, i don't deny it, but people give it way too much importance.
