Ask the Rabbi
Question: Is Judaism a religion, a nationality or a race?

Answer: Judaism is definitely NOT a race; there are white Jews, black Jews, Asian Jews etc. Unlike Christianity, Judaism is NOT simply a religion. It is BOTH a religion and a nationality, a people. When a Jew by Choice joins us, they join the Jewish religion AND the Jewish People.

This is a Weekly Column where Rabbi Feldman will answer any question you might have relating to Judaism.  Please email your questions to office@bethelwpb.com
