I'm Jewish, but I can't say I am aware of any relationship between Sikhism and Judaism.

Never was one, Judaism isn't from India. Sikhism comes from Hinduism and Islam, actually.

there isn't much of a relationship between the religions. but many of us Jews are interested and fascinated with Sikhism. i think it is really interesting. i wish i knew Sikhs so i could get a more personal account of it.

As far as I know, there is no relationship at all. Sikhism is a form of Hinduism that evolved mostly in the Punjabi regions of present day India and Pakistan.

Judaism is a much older religion that evolved from the stories and monotheistic beliefs of the Hebrews.

Hmmm... I guess both religions have a belief that the name of god is powerful, and both follow a religious text and value literacy, but aside from that... nothing.
