Usually a group living in diaspora will be absorbed into the cultures around them, and lose their identity. That’s what happened to the Phoenicians who were closely related to ancient Hebrews, and what’s happened to a million other peoples in history. The Jewish identity has shown a resilience that IMO is unmatched by any other culture or group.
Despite constant persecution and purges, the Jewish community has not only survived but thrived.
While I haven’t had the privilege of meeting many Jewish people in my life, my experiences with those I have met has been almost 100% positive.
Just wanted to share some love. Keep on being awesome!
