There is a diversity of thought and philosophy, diversity of languages and dialects, diversity of political spectrum, and there's a diversity of taste for food. I don't label or characterize Jews in any way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
American Jews are no longer a homogenous minority; we come in all colors and from all corners of the world.
Jewish existence in the Land of Israel depends only on the Jews, and on what the Jews think of themselves.
Most Jews, like most rational persons, know that their personal identity and their ethnic identity are not one and the same.
Judaism is not just a religion but a people, and the food and customs of one part of the people is connected to the other part of the people. They are part of a larger story.
Our people represent a tapestry of interwoven identities embodying the rich diversity of what it means to be Jewish.
I am extremely respectful of the Jewish community. You know, I am Christian. I think of Jews as my older brothers. I mean, there wouldn't be Christianity without the Jewish religion. There is a direct connection between the two of them.
There is something very very special, universal and easily identifiable among all Jews; it is beyond territory, it is something we all have in common.
I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.
The Jews are the living embodiment of the minority, the constant reminder of what duties societies owe their minorities, whoever they might be.
The Jewish people are very diverse, and I believe this rich tapestry of identities and experiences strengthens our community.
