Zoroastrianism actually had a pretty substantial influence on Judaism. There’s some evidence that it may have been Zoroastrian influence on Judaism during the Babylonian captivity which caused Judaism to shift to be monotheistic and develop a dualistic belief in good (God) and evil (Satan) forces.

They both originate from the same original indo-Iranian faith. The oldest texts share many similarities, such as the use of a sacred plant (soma in Hinduism and haoma in Zoroastrianism).
