well um... i don't eat pig i practically live for bacon so i'm not kosher. If u don't know what kosher is it's when u don't eat meat and diary together like a cheese burger oh and pig and u can't eat animal blood. u can't eat animal blood because the Jews beleive that the blood of an animal is the live of an animal. Um.... i don't know about Moses but the Jews are allowed to think whatever they want about God. For example one Jew could think that God watchs over us but another Jew could think that God controled us and our actions, Unlike other religions. If u have any specific questions u could probably check wikipedia or u could ask another question here on this site (I probably sound like a teacher or a parent or some kind of boring serious adult but I'm not) :p

um.. i'll do my best to answer all questions. i personally do the no mixing milk and meat thing but mostly because i'm a vegitarian. jews don't even have to really believe in God as long as they do good deeds and help others they are showing they believe in God and his beliefs. unlike christianity, who call our Torah the old testiment we just call it the testiment or Torah because we don't believe in a new testiment meaning there can't be an old one. if you have any more questions, just send me a message and i'll gladly answer them.

By the question about pigs, I assume you want to know about kashrut. There is a huge volume on what we arn't supposed to eat. Some Jews, particularly those belonging to less traditional circles (i.e. The Reform Movement, etc.), do not follow all of these, or sometimes any. Pigs are amongst the animals we aren't supposed to eat. Moses was considered the greatest prophet, having seen part of G-d and lived for 120 years. He also is said to have brought us out of Egypt. (You know, Exodus and all that?) Judaism is an ancient religion, with lots and lots of texts, notes, interpretations, and traditions. You can get the basics by reading. There are question and answer books about it out there, so I would recommend reading those. And possibly a Tanach.
