you should find the hebrew religion appealing because it makes no claim to heaven or hell or how to get there, it basically (very basically) instructs followers to be charitable and not gossip I can only assume this "Hebrew religion" is something different than Judaism, because I have studied the latter a little bit and the daily restrictions are quite stiffling - no shellfish, no pork, no dairy products with meat, etc etc and I am not even going to talk about the Saturdays when you are not supposed to be doing ANYTHING. What I do admire the Jews for is that they have never created a clergy caste whose word is law. And if they have gone through a "Dark Ages" period (like the Christian Middle Ages and the Muslim 20th-21st century) it was probably so early that nobody remembers it. But I find it difficult to admire Judaism for freedom of actions, because I find it rather restrictive.
