Judaism is a Congregationalist Religion, which means that each community/congregation of Jews operates almost autonomously. This is the exact opposite of Catholicism, where there is an established worldwide hierarchy of power. In each community, Jews are led by their RABBIS. What prevents Judaism from splintering endlessly (like some Christian congregationalist churches) is that Jews will respect learned Rabbis from other communities who write halakhic (Jewish legal) opinions on specific religious issues. In most countries with a significant Jewish population, there is a Chief Rabbi, which is a ceremonial position of first among equals in the country.
The government of Israel (excusing the Chief Rabbis of Israel) has NOTHING to do with the Jewish religious leadership. Conversely, the Jewish Religious Leadership in Israel and the Israeli government are often at odds concerning particular policies, such as the military draft.
