    We absolutely are. Defining Judaism as a religion alone is ignorant and christocentric.

    Judaism has always been a people of a singular national identity, defined by common origin, language, history, sense of identity, culture, folklore, music, clothing, cuisine, etc.

      No. National identity is a relatively modern idea for any group of people. Being Jewish is being part of a culture, not a nation.

      The person you’re responding to is an ass but you’re swinging too far in the opposite direction.

        Fair enough. Not sure the best way to translate the concept of עם ישראל
