You would get a very similar answer if you asked about the origin and purpose of man on Earth based on Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. All of these religions would agree that man was created by God and placed on Earth in order to worship God. Exactly why God wishes to be worshiped is not explained, but we are left to imagine either that God is very egotistical, or that He has some purpose which is beyond the comprehension of mere humans. Take your pick.
Judaism also teaches that we are here to make the world a better place, called Tikkun Olam.
Answer:Judaism teaches that God created us because of His desire for kindliness. He wishes to reward us, based upon our proper use of free-will in the tests of life. The place of that reward is (mostly) in the afterlife, since the very righteous deserve more than the limitations of this world would make possible.

∙ 13y agoJudaism, as a religion, follows the story of creation found in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). However, it is important to note that Jewish tradition states that the Tanach tells us WHAT HaShem did, not how he did it. As a result, the majority of Jews, including religiously observant Jews, find no conflict between the story of creation and the theory of evolution.
As for the reason for the existence of humans, Judaism teaches that we were created to assist HaShem in the completion of creation. We do this by working to make the world better.
