Simple really: Judaism stops in the OT , and Christianity starts in the NT. The Word Christianity comes from the name Christ.

One is still in the law, while the other understands that the law was only given so that we couls see our sin (Romans 3:20).

Christians believe in a Triune god (three gods/persons in one). This is know as the Trinity.

Jews are Monotheistic meaning they believe in one God.

Christians believe Jesus is god.

Jews do not believe Jesus is god nor a prophet.

Christianity is heavily influenced by Paganism (Jesus was born on Dec 25th, Easter, Trinity, Worship on Sunday, etc.)

Judaism isn't.

Christians do not have any dietary laws.

Jews do have dietary laws.

Christians worship on Sunday

Jews worship on Saturday

Basically the ackn owledgement of Jesus Christ as saviour, Lord, deliverer,Messiah coe in the flesh.
Congregation to congregation would preach, sing and praise differently.
Churches do not usually have the Toah, prayer shawls, keepahs,
However they will reads the scriptures like asynagogue from old and new testaments.
Churches generally believer Messiah has come and will come at the second coming in a future time to restore all things, bring in righteousness and lead and rulke the ntions.
They adopt the practise of praise and worship top G-d yet Jesus Christ?Yeshua is special and highly exalted to the right hand of G-d. He is the word made flesh whom dwelt among us.
Those confessing the nakme of Jesus?yeshua to others interns have their names confessed to G-d/
Asking in the name of Jesus Christ/Yeshua is like the people asking Moses and or the prophets to interceed, pray and seek the Lord like the Levites.
The new covenant saints are empowered with the annoiting of G-d and should all have the indwelling power of G-d withing them to minister, guide, teach guard protect and deliberate what prayers shoulkd be asked and prayed about.
These phenomins captivated the religious order in the times of Jesus Christ. the apsotles and early church.

The power of G-d as Yeshua prayed allowed unclean spirits to be cast out and set free those that werer oppressed, possessed and need mortal and spirituial healing.
Interestingly Yeshua was called and had love for those that did not believe and in times of need wher the power of G-d to raise the dead, sick and those perishing . Many believed Jesus ?Yeshua as he did much to prove G-d had sent him.
Those in Judaisnm were at times chastened to their lack. misconceptions as they did prefer traditional things and religious practise over these new manifestation of huge followings of gentiles prophesized about.
Even today Zion shoild rejopice and and be glad . The Lord himself has come and we ought to accept him, pray in his name and learn from him to prepare us once agin for his return, the Rapture of believers in times ahead.
Jewish culture and Judaism is rich in history, glory and the eternal covenants G-d has made to both Jews and gentiles.
Yeshua/ Jesus Christ has come and will come again .
He prepares his bride and those that obey and hear the voice of the Lord. The Jewish calandar and holidays keep Judaism, Messianic Judaism apart from the world in religioous and recognized holidays and religious practises. Those that believ G-d and Christ/Messiah inwardly know his holiness and divine nature.
Believers grow to trust G-d and grow in grace, knowledge of the bible and daily life.
Messianic believers are astounded to have truthjs and knowledge and gifting sfrom the acceptance of Yeshua as Lord and Saviour/
THey are aware of the old testament and its relating to the new that fulfills their high calling in Messiah Yeshua /Jesus Christ.
Each sect, and group will differ in biblical knowledge, application and Kingdom of G-d authority, faith, works, manmifestations of miracles to0 heal, deliver, set free, educate and comprehend.

Okay, but, fair's fair, and I'm writing a paper, too. So you answer mine first, and then I'll do yours:

Define the nature of the universe and give three examples. Oh, it's supposed to be two hundred and fifty words or less.

Alright, just kidding. Here's a website that gives a run down of the key points of contrast:

PS: Those saying it's only the difference between OT and NT, or it's just a matter of believing in Jesus, they're steering you wrong. Paul (and others) reinterpreted the OT in light of their beliefs about Jesus, and these interpretations lead to significant differences. The fall of Adam and Eve in Judaism is a) considered figurative and not literal by most Jews, and b) didn't impart original sin to all of mankind. Without original sin, there's no need for the kind of salvation Jesus represents. Heaven and Hell, the afterlife in general, is ill defined and left intentionally vague in Judaism, and it's not simply that Jews don't recognize Jesus as the messiah, it's that the Jewish conception of the messiah is different. This person will be fully human and not the child of a virgin and God, or God in the flesh, ideas which are anathema to Jews. The Jewish messiah will accomplish tasks in a single lifetime, not start a ministry, go away, and then go two thousand years and counting without coming back to finish the jobs assigned.
