Who is the supreme being in Judaism?

Answer 1

Judaism was one of (if not the first) monotheistic religions. There is only one God, and He is called by various names, such as Adonai or Hashem.

The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are a contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.

In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews use the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.

Answer 2

The Almighty God, Who created all worlds and all creatures. He alone is the Creator, Sustainer, Provider, and Ruler of the universe.

Muslims too, believe in the same Almighty God, Who has NO partner, no son, no parents and no associate whatsoever.

Answer 5

God, the creator of the universe.

God's names in Hebrew Scripture:

• יהוה - the Eternal (see below)
  
• Adonai - the Lord
  
• Elohim - God
  
• Shaddai - the Almighty
  
• El - a name indicating the power of God
  
• Tzevaot - Lord of hosts
  

Note:

God's name in the Torah is יהוה (in Hebrew, not in English). Other names which refer to God (such as Elohim) are more generic (referring to God's power) and can in certain contexts refer to such authorities as judges (Exodus ch.21-22).
Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of this name of God has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way it is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)
The name of God is not pronounceable for us, due to to a religious prohibition for Jews (Mishna, Sanhedrin ch.11), and also to the fact that the way in which it would be pronounced is today not known. While the Temple in Jerusalem still stood, only the Kohen Gadol would pronounce this name of God and only one day a year. The remainder of the time, less explicit names of God, including Adonai or Elohim, were used; and that is what we do today also, in prayers, blessings and Torah-reading. In daily conversation in English, we use English words (God, or the idiomatic "Hashem," which refers to God but is not an actual name).
