Many Jews do not practice Judaism. Being Jewish is an ethnicity. Source: am Jewish, not religeous.
Did you try applying for Israeli citizenship? AFAIK being a follower of Judaism is a requirement. Source: a Christian Jew being denied a citizenship due to this reason.
Assume 1,000 customers each generating $2m in ARR with contracts. That’s $2 billion. Assume generous 6x ARR valuation, that’s $12 billion.
