re: #156 Obdicut

My complaint with what you’ve said is that you’re defining Jews only in terms of Judaism, which leaves secular Jews like me out in the cold.

Does it though? I was pretty secular for a while and it did not diminish my belief that Jews and Israel go hand in hand. Whether the shema has divine or human origins doesn’t negate the fact it has been a political, social, religious part of our culture for millennia.
