There are other currents in Judaism, such as mystical based, or philosophy based (Spinoza), but they are a minority nowadays.

The mainstream Judaism has focused mostly on codifying rules for all situations in life, which has evolved into a semi legalistic framework of rules and their loopholes. So many loopholes... Like temporarily selling your belongings 1 week per year to bypass Passover rules about Hametz, etc.
