Do you think the "physical sacraments" are a recreation of Judaic practices under a different name?

Judaism doesn't call them "sacraments," so I wasn't speaking with total accuracy. I merely wished to point out that, while Catholicism's symbolism has led most modern Catholics to regard the Bible as nothing but didactic mythology, Judaism's mitzvot (tefillin, tzitziyyot, etc.), while similar to Catholic "sacraments," have not led Orthodox Jews to redefine the Torah as a big Aesop's Fable.

In Judaism how great a role does "Tradition" play. Is it considered equal to mitzvot (Holy writings?). Also, how centralized is the authority structure in Judaism?

With a gap of a few years, I have been Catholic my whole life. I have Never met a Catholic who believes what you think they believe.
