#chosenness — Public Fediverse posts

"#Antisemitism does not need a cause. It looks for excuses.

There is a temptation, especially among thoughtful #Jews, to believe that if we perfect ourselves morally, the hatred will recede. #Teshuvah — self-examination — is central to #Jewish life. Green is right that we should ask how #chosenness is taught. We should ensure that pride does not curdle into chauvinism. We should invest more in Jewish education and ethical seriousness than in slick public relations campaigns.

But self-examination must not slide into self-indictment.

We are responsible for our conduct. We are not responsible for the existence of antisemitism."

Judaism is surely an evolving religious civilization. It has a history, language (Hebrew), a homeland (Israel) and also beliefs. So what are Jewish beliefs (theology and philosophy?)

Warning - there's never just one answer - there's always a range
