That entire picture is question-begging, why isn't Judaism, even if it could simply be called Pharisaism alone, Abrahamic? What is an Abrahamic religion, then? What about the Sadducees?
Jesus did not rebuke the Pharisees alone, He rebuked both of the two major sects of the Jews - Pharisees AND Sadducees. The distinction is pointless, and I suspect there is some other agenda lurking around, probably racial idolatry.
This isn't even getting into the ridiculous semantic argument, either the Hebrew and Greek referred to Jews as a whole - the sects of the Pharisees and the Sadducees included - or didn't. This is a new, and completely nonsensical semantic argument. Whom did the Church Fathers criticize? Whom did the Church that Christ established treat as Jews, if the word "Jew" didn't exist until the 18th century?
And AGAIN, what difference does it all make? Jews as we understand it today pertains to ALL Jews who claim to follow the Torah but reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah. What is the agenda here?
