Are Jewish people an ethnicity, religion or culture? The answer is yes! The evolution of Jewish identity from the Bible to today leaves us questioning not “who is a Jew?” but “what is a Jew?” Since biblical times Jewish identity - what it means to be Jewish in connection to G-d, other Jews and other peoples - has changed and changed again. Together, we will study various texts that define Jewishness as an ethnicity, religion, culture…and even a political identity!
