Judaism

Judaism can not simply be defined as a religion, a culture or a race; Judaism can have different meanings for different people, and these meanings can tie two or more of these identifications together. Many Jews identify themselves with the Jewish faith. Practicing these rituals, along with upholding the expectations of the Jewish god is what gives Judaism its culture. Because of the demands of this belief system the way of life for Jews may be singular in that this way of life separates them possibly making them feel that they have each other. They identify themselves with their culture and religion thus bringing the feeling that Judaism is also a race. To me it seems that because of the beliefs and culture of Jews they have a tight knit community which creates a solid culture. This solid culture may make it easier to live with or get along with other Jews since there way of life is similar to each other, just as any religious groups may be. In sum I believe that the different parts of Judaism have made it so the meaning can change depending on the person and how they live their life and which part of Judaism they identify themselves with.
