A great deal of time has been spent - and I may say, wasted - on discussion of whether we Jews are a race or exponents of a religion. The question suggests that we as a people have a common history, with common experiences that knit us together as a more or less cohesive community, and also that we are bound together by the religion that we have developed through the centuries. The question itself implies a validity in both views of the Jews and Judaism.
