rituals centered around the Jewish calendar:
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukah, Purim, Passover.

To some, Judaism is the observance of a set of
rituals centered around life events:
Birth, Coming of Age, Marriage, Death.

To some, Judaism is the observance of
daily ritual and prayer:
Shema, Kaddish, Shehecheyanu.

To some, Judaism is a set of values:
Tikkun Olam, Tzedakah, Chesed. 

To some, Judaism is a sense of community;
a connection and responsibility to other Jews. 
A belonging to an unbroken chain of stretching
back thousands of years.

To many, Judaism is combination
of all of the above;
a personal potpourri of observances,
feelings, rights and responsibilities.
