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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.
Our people represent a tapestry of interwoven identities embodying the rich diversity of what it means to be Jewish.
Most Jews, like most rational persons, know that their personal identity and their ethnic identity are not one and the same.
The Jewish people are very diverse, and I believe this rich tapestry of identities and experiences strengthens our community.
Sometimes people who are Jewish are held to a higher standard which sometimes we take great pride in.
Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.
The question of boundaries is a major question of the Jewish people because the Jews are the great experts of crossing boundaries. They have a sense of identity inside themselves that doesn't permit them to cross boundaries with other people.
The Jewish world is becoming fully integrated with the ideas of the normal world. They feed off each other.
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.
