worth investing in learning judaism?

[TheSomeBody]

im live in israel so it is pretty easy to learn judaism here.

but does it worth it ? it is better than learning about eastern religion and practices? i will get some gain in my progress or just some more material?

Why don't you cherry pick? 

Study the good and interesting part of judaism, kabbala that is! 

There is so much of timeless spiritual truths in kabbala. 

Then cherry pick with the other religions as well. 

But know that deep down, you have all the knowledge inside of you already. 

Trust yourself, and know that knowing yourself fully is equal to knowing God.

Sounds pretentious, but that's how it is!  

Doesn't judaism comes with upbringing in Israel btw? 

You have jewish blood?

ummmm i dont say that it doesnt have any truth, i asking if it will get me faster spiritually than eastern religions...

depends from where you are, what school you go to, family , in secular schools we learn but in like dumb way of teaching religion not in the way it should be. i know little bit of bible because we need to learn it but you dont have any context so you dont get the juice of it.

Hear hear. 

I guess Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all dualistic religions. And since truth is non-dualistic one might consider to skip even the good parts. 

Eastern religions such as buddhism and hinduism are more aline with the absolut truth. They don't recall any thing as 'little self' aka ego. So if one has to choose, you better go with eastern religions as you indicate in OP. 

Having said that, I like kabbala and sufism(islam) which are the spiritual traditions of those religions..

Not at all. Jews are the most intelligent people in the world. Jewish religion is extrovert. That extroversion made them businesslike. 

Eastern religions are stargazers. They talk about no-mind, enlightenment which is beyond reach of an ordinary person.

For an extrovert person religion will be an altruistic act, prayer. God is outside him.

Introvert religiousness meditates. Buddha is the path of the introvert; it talks only about meditation.

Learning the esoteric/occult from Judaism is worth while.
