I know a few things, like Jews don't necessarily believe in hell, Yom Kippur is their high holiday and Passover is when they fast.

Actually only first-born sons need to fast on Passover and only if they do not participate in some sort of Torah-related teaching that first day.
The only other mandated fast days are Yom Kippur and Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction of the Temple. An optional fast day is the Fast of Esther, during the holiday of Purim.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have, feel free to send me an e-mail or private message.
