What are the most interesting parts in jewish mythology and folklore?
Judaism has demons and demonesses.
I think the most pop ones are moloch(molech), lilith and golem but what else?
I mean ones that are specific to judaism, not christianity.

There's not really any unifying "Jewish" folklore. Jewish folklore in say, 18th century Russia bears a lot of resemblance to 18th century Russian folklore. Jewish folklore in the Gemara is quite similar to contemporary Babylonian/Sassanid folklore.

Comes with being a largely diasporic people, I guess, but there's really very little folklore I can think of as being distinctly Jewish, unless you count various stories of Rabbis being kicked around with miraculous powers, and even then, it's not too different from other stories of wise or learned saintly people with their own supernal abilities.
