Here's what they say about Judaism (strangely enough when I hit the page the first time, Islam was the featured religion at the top of the page - conspiracy? nahhhhhh)
Judaism is around 3500 years old. Jews believe that there is only one God and that the Jewish People were specially chosen to receive God's guidance. Find out more.
They even have a section titled "Basics". I think I should write a letter and tell them there is NOTHING basic about Judaism :)
Well anyway I think it's an interesting site - well done and I am sure it took them a loooooooooong time to come up with things to write there that they thought wouldn't be controversial - but I am sure that somewhere, someone will have an issue with something that is written. I can feel an anti-semitism cry coming....Overview of Judaism
Around 2,000 years ago a non-Jew told Hillel, a famous Jewish teacher, that he would convert to Judaism if Hillel could teach him the whole of the Torah in the time he could balance on one leg.
Hillel replied… "What is hateful to yourself, do not do to your neighbour. That is the whole Torah; the rest is just commentary. Go and study it."
