UP Judaism as An Ethnicity as Well as A Religion Discussion

 

I don’t know how to handle this Religion question and need guidance.

Judaism as a religion is strongly anchored in the unique identify of the people of Israel as having a shared experience, one often understood as a shared relationship with God, even as Prothero highlights that Jewish people are best understood as a “people made up of many peoples rather than an ethnicity as well as a religion. In what ways do you see that common experience expressing itself in the history and traditions of Judaism? Do any of our texts from the reader give insight into that identity? How has it changed over time?
