Not exactly. The Jewish Sages identify the Ein Sof as the creator of the universe who is outside of space and time. Time did not start until the Ein Sof created the universe and manifested as Elohim, the three in one god head, that interacts with His creation. The first verse in the Bible can be translated as: “In the beginning [Ein Sof] created Elohim, the heavens and the earth.”

Well, the Zohar is pretty far out there. I don't think 13th Century Jewish mysticism can really be considered cannonical in any broader sense of the Judeo-Christian traditian.
As far as the three part god-head goes, I'm pretty sure that's not Jewish.

The first verse in the Bible can be translated as: In the beginning [Ein Sof] created Elohim, the heavens and the earth. Which means that you still have a creator with no beginning, while this is contrary to such texts as,
Psalms 90:2: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
