Judaism includes a philosophy. Some Talmud-passages, for example, could be compared to or described as philosophical discussion. An example of this is the topic (Eiruvin 13b) of whether it is better for a person to have been created or not.
Judaism is a religion that encompasses both spiritual beliefs and practices, as well as a set of ethical principles and moral guidelines. It includes a system of rituals, traditions, and customs that are rooted in a sacred text (the Torah) and a long history of interpretation and commentary. While Judaism does contain philosophical elements, its primary focus is on faith in God, observance of commandments, and community life.
Judaism is a religion, with beliefs, outlook and attitudes, as well as practical laws and customs.
It may be noted that a religion includes a philosophy (thought; contemplation; discussion; a certain logic) - but philosophy doesn't necessarily include religion. Some philosophers are atheists, or just don't discuss religion.
Specifically, Judaism includes a philosophy. Some Talmud-passages, for example, could be compared to or described as philosophical discussion. An example of this is the topic (Eiruvin 13b) of whether it is better for a person to have been created or not.
In addition to its philosophy, Judaism also has a history, a cosmogony, some linguistics, mathematics, and other things. Some of these (or parts of them) are of greater importance than others. For instance, very few people, even learned Torah-scholars, study the opinions of Rabbi Menachem ben Seruq or Rabbi Yonah ben Janach in Hebrew grammar, despite the fact that their books are a part of the spectrum of classical Jewish works.
Similarly, in the philosophy within Judaism, some discussions are more important than others. Passages concerning God's ways, attitudes and reasoning, are often binding (specifically in the Tanakh and Talmud). On the other hand, few scholars today take the time to read Maimonides' Guide, though six to nine centuries ago some Jewish communities treated it as indispensable.
