Yes and no. In general, Jews do not consider this to be among the more important questions to be addressed by religion. They are much more interested in social justice - their concept is of doing God's will to perfect the world in a partnership with God. The Jewish liturgy does address the question of an afterlife, but it only goes so far as to state that God keeps faith with those who 'sleep in the Dust.' In fact, there are religous Jews who do not believe in a personal afterlife at all. Some, in fact, consider the salvationist emphasis of the other Abrahamic religions to encourage self-centeredness.

That simply isn't true of all Muslims. There are plenty of interfaith services and contacts in the United States. What may be prompting your question is the undeniable fact that most Muslims in the Middle east are mad as hell that a Jewish state was set up by the United Nations on what they see as land that should only be governed by Muslims. They blame Jews, not the U.N. Some carry their anger over to all Jews. That's what hits the public perception

The term Hebrew is never, to my knowledge, used as a catagory for food. As to Jewish food, there are probably as many varieties as there are cultures in which Jews participated over the centuries. The most well-known varieties are Middle Eastern, which typically includes Hummus and Fellafell (based on chickpeas) and Eastern European, from which we get bagels and lox with cream cheese. What they have in common is adherence to Jewish dietary law, which includes such factors as avoiding use of milk or milk products at the same meal with any meat, strict avoidance of pork and shellfish and use of meats that have been slaughtered in a humane fashion.
