Because we had the problem in the past with people missionizing on the
net, I hope  your question is sincere.
Judiasm believes in One G-d. He is called in the Bible by different
names. These names represent different Attributes of G-d.

	For example there is: (These are all one word with no dash,
			       this is just a way of not writing the Name
			       in vain.)

		Elo - him -> I think the Talmud says this is the Attribute
			     of mercy.
		Jeh - ovah -> Which should not be said. (It is one of the
			      holiest names, "Thou shall not use my Name in
			      vain", [Exodus 20:7].). This name represents 
			      G-d's Omnipresents.
		Ado - noy -> Master of universe.
		Ay - l	  -> Omnipotent
		Sha - di  -> I'm not sure but I remember the Talmud tell
			     its Attribute.
		G - d     -> Its not Hebrew, I don't know its origin.

There are others these are the basic.
