Judaism dates back to 1800 BCE, when Abraham recognized the existence of One God, 3800 years ago. Within a decade he was teaching others.

Answer 2

The tradition of the Jewish people, and the Torah Sages and Talmud, is that Abraham founded the religion of Judaism. He was born in 1812 BCE. This tradition is implicit in many passages in the prophets (e.g. Isaiah 41:8) and throughout the Talmud (e.g. Yoma 28b) and is borne out by a reading of Genesis.

God calls himself "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" eighteen times in the Torah, and that is how we address Him every day in the Shemoneh Esrei prayer.

However, Abraham and his descendants observed their traditions voluntarily, until the Giving of the Torah to Moses 3325 years ago, when God made it obligatory.

Answer 3

Nobody knows, but tradition holds that Abraham founded Judaism around 2000 BCE. Modern scholarship does not agree on the exact year, and often places it centuries later.

Islamic Answer:

Judaism; as religion and not as a race; started by revelation of Torah to prophet Moses while he was in Sinai (Egypt). The claim that the Judaism religion started with prophet Abraham may not generally accepted as prophet Abraham was selected by God to call his people to submit to God as the one and only one God and to abandon worshiping Idols and never called his people to Judaism as the Torah was not yet revealed by God

My understanding is that prophet Abraham is called the father of prophets as he called his people to worship the one and only one God and that he himself fully submitted to God to the extent that when he destroyed the idols and the unbelievers put him in fire God made the fire to not affect him and this was a miracle by God to his prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim as called by Arabs in the Middle East). the prophet Abraham is loved by God as expressed in the three Godly religions and the three God holy books. Judaism as religion with specific ritual worships; from my understanding; started by God through prophet Moses by revelation of the Torah.
