Judaism in theory is not one (like there’s no religious leadership, no central authority, and no clear idea who should be burned as a heretic). But in Israel they have the main rabbinate (maybe even two, I don’t remember) and have built a pretty hierarchical structure, not really resembling Jewish religious organizations anywhere else.
Just because it is not the RCC doesn’t mean it isn’t organized. There is a spectrum between random people building ancestor shrines and the pyramid structure the Catholics have. Judaism lies much closer to organized side of the spectrum.
And I’m this particular case, with the government directly funded this shaman with tax dollars, we can be even safer to say that.

That’s what I said, it doesn’t. There’s no hierarchy in Judaism, at all. Except for Israel, again.
Anyway, every religion gets turned in all the ways the encompassing society wants it turn. Say, speaking of “Taoism in China” is impossible, because that’s a myriad of things, both in terms of the cult itself, and the structure, and whatever else.
