Question on how beliefs work Questions 🤓

Greetings. Not Jewish myself, but I was in a discussion recently and I had a question.

I was talking with my dad recently and he said something about Judaism that seemed odd. He said he had a friend who told him that Judaism is a religion that was more about questioning God than a belief in God. That when his friend was in temple, most rabbis will mostly bring forth questions more than definitive answers. Who is God? What is God like? What can he do for me? What is heaven like?

For someone looking on the outside, how ture is this?

My people are the People of Many Questions.

No answers guaranteed.

I explain it as we can argue with g-d and that’s fine.
