1. No.
2. Monotheism (One God) and all that goes with it; Prophecy and Prophecy of Moses; the Sinai Revelation and eternal truth of the Bible; Reward and Punishment; Divine Supervision. Maimonides includes the Resurrection of the Dead.
3. Nothing about the death of Messiah in Judaism. The Messiah is a person like all other people, but will be a messenger of God to bring all people close to Him.
4. The assumption is that the blood line of David continues on — only that we don’t know it.
5. Judaism whose adherents follow the rabbinic tradition of halakha (Jewish law).
6. Talmud is an early rabbinic commentary on the Mishnah, and it represents a collection of norms and laws, often reaching legal conclusions in all areas of Jewish law.
7. Unclear question.
8. Monotheistic religions, Islam more than Christianity (which includes the unclear Trinity concept). Maimonides writes that the two religions should be looked upon favorably, since they bring the world closer to monotheistic belief.
9. Yes.
10. Here.
Best wishes.
