==== 1. Shared heritage & covenant language - The LDS Church teaches that it is part of the House of Israel and that the Jewish people remain “God’s chosen people.” LDS doctrine places great importance on the covenants made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Israel, and sees modern Latter-day Saints (often through the “tribe of Ephraim / Joseph”) sharing in that covenantal heritage.

# Differences in belief about Jesus / Messiah / Scripture - Judaism rejects the Christian (including LDS) claim that Jesus is the Messiah or that He fulfilled prophetic expectations in Jewish scripture. LDS theology, by contrast, includes belief in Jesus Christ as central. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism_and_Mormonism|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-12-20}}</ref> - Some LDS beliefs (e.g. prophets, continuing revelation, priesthood, other scripture beyond the Hebrew Bible) are not accepted by Judaism. These differences remain fundamental. Wikipedia<ref>{{cite web|title=Wikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism_and_Mormonism|publisher=en.wikipedia.org|access-date=2025-12-20}}</ref>
# Supersession, inclusion, and interpretation - There is a range of views within LDS scholarship and among members regarding how “the gathering of Israel” and Jewish chosenness relates to Gentiles who join LDS belief. Some see this as inclusive rather than supersessionist (i.e. not that the LDS Church replaces Judaism), though the theological dynamics are complex.
