BTW In Russia Jews are consireded to be an ethnicity, not a religious group. When we want to talk about jewish religion we usually use term Judaism or Judaic. So when you say "jew" in Russia probably nobody will think of religion.
Russia hash has more ethnically homogeneous populations in Russian and former Soviet areas, so naturally people in Russia have a much better and more educated understanding of what ethnicity is. In places like the Americas, everyone is so mixed up ethnically, their societies have struggles with understanding ethnic identities.
Judaism is a religion, this jewish ethnicity you talk about is not here anymore, most of the jews you see now are a mix of converts and jews who mixed with non jews centuries ago.
Kjellyn Peterson yes. I did my final exams on that. We have something called a Jewish soul that a person gets when she’s born. No matter if se converts or is an atheist she will always stay a Jew. So yes, born a Jew and die a Jew
Once a Jew converts to any other religion, he's no longer considered a Jew by other Jews. Amusing to see answers from non Jews who think they know. That Jew could at any moment renounce that other religion, and immediately restore his full Jew status.
It's a fake identity. An Ethiopian, European and Indian as the same ethnic? The Hebrews are a dead nation, that's why Hebrew is a dead language. Ivrit is just a constructed one with Slavic and Germanic elements.
efopo Yeah sure, a blond blue eyed Jew from Germsny is nearer to a Yemeni Jew than to a German? Sure. Why do the Jews look like the people where they immigrated from then? Hebrew is dead for more than 1500 years, it had no native speakers at all. Just do your reaearch and google Hebrew
this is mostly saying, "once you're born into this tribe/family by a female tribe member, you're one of us until the day you die, and we'll love and support you even if you don't technically believe in our deity."
and wouldn't you consider that a beautiful thing? Family and community no matter what you do. They don't disown you from your people because of your decisions.
It may also mean that we don’t validate your new beliefs, and we think you’re just going through a phase and you’ll grow up later on. Like that guy for instance that didn’t believe Corey was an atheist .
If you had asked "If a Jew converts to Islam, is he still a Jew?" you would have gotten an interesting divide in which secular Jews would say "No" and religious Jews would say "Yes."
Xftbllplyr good question i guess that depends on the person like im arab and though I have European dna too and maybe jewish (idk though) I still say I'm arab cause arab is my identity perhaps to those who don't have one would take that
MrAlio84 You are making laughable claims. There is a consensus among all relevant geneticists and all academic institutions that there is shared Israelite genetic origin among all major Jewish groups. The only person who claimed otherwise Elhaik and his papers were found to be fraud by virtually entire scientific world. You should start your education from Wikipedia
What I learned from these people and the video itself is that once you were born a Jew regardless of what happened to you and what you became, you will always be a jew. Because from the video itself even the religious one believes that you can still be a Jew by being and atheist as long as you were born from a Jewish mother. It seems Judaism is not only a matter of religion for Israelis but also a self identity/Ethnicity/Nationality. It’s like something you cannot separate.
True. Most foreigners don't get it, so it's refreshing to see someone who does. The Nazis also got it. They murdered millions of Jews who were atheists, agnostics, and even those who had converted to Christianity. One's beliefs made no difference to them.
@@Gideon01 not exactly, there were many Germans who converted and were as much as half Jewish and weren't killed. Hitler's personal driver was half Jewish. He was not killed. In fact, when the news came out, he stood with him. The Nazis killed many people, but it wasn't always because of their religion or their race. One of the biggest false narratives was that Nazis killed homosexuals. Most Nazi leaders were homosexuals. That was a well known "German vice" among Italian fascists and one of the reasons why Italian fascists hated them.
There is something they don't talk about... Because they are Israeli Jews. Outside of Israel, the world will never not see you as anything other than a Jew... Allot of jews begin to notice it the moment antisemitism gets trendy. Suddenly, they are no longer fellow countryman, they are Jews.
i loved more or less all the answers. it's impressing how israelis are so open minded. i'm agnostic myself, and i find what the woman with short hair said so true and relatable. for instance, i was born as a catholic christian, but then i decided to take the distance from, let's say, my religlion. but it doesn't mean that my life is empty or i believe in nothing. moreover, i love theology. i find very interesting learning about all religions.
But it seems that "religion" means to believe is something, even if it's true, or not true. But what are the facts? The question is, even if people don't believe in God, does that make it true that there is no God? Taking religion out of the equation, what is true, or truth? Does God exist, or not? Let's say God does exist. What would happen to the atheist when he dies, and encounters God? Is he going to tell him, "You're a figment of the imagination. You're not real."? And afterwards, will he realize that he has been living a lie the whole time, and now he knows he's screwed with an eternal life of torment? Especially after he foolishly called God a fairytale even though he is looking God face to face personally?
But Arab is not a religion. Is Judaism a religion and people practicing Judaism, Jewish? So if Jew is ethnicity, then what is the religion of Moses called? Arabs can be anything. Can Jews be Christian or Muslim or Bhuddist or Satanist and still be called Jew. If Jews are ethnic, can they say that what's in the Torah applies to them?
On judgement day human will be called out by their mother name..actually children of isreal start from abraham(all prophet male) all from male paternal side they changed it.
Of course, an atheist doesn't lose his ethnicity because he is an atheist, but he cannot belong to any religion, because he simply doesn't believe in God. The English word “atheist” comes from the Greek word άθεος (α + Θεός), meaning “no God”. Words have a meaning, we cannot simply twist them to our liking. Have some common sense, people!
I'm a Muslim, and find this question kind of silly because it's like asking if an Arab can be an atheist or christian and still be an Arab. lol of course he is STILL an Arab regardless of his beliefs
Daryl White no flaws. u just do not understand my logic. ik u said relative. imagine 2 billion people each killing atleast 1 *NONMUSLIM* relative. maybe now you'll understand better. FYI no person has only 1 relative. now I'll let you imagine the massacre in your head
Daryl White are you slow? my specifically saying non Muslim I'm covering all options WHICH INCLUDES ATHEIST. INCASE YOU DIDNT KNOW, ATHEIST DO NOT FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF BEING A MUSLIM
Daryl White smh. it's like I'm talking to a brick wall. At this point It seems you are just bored and want someone to chat with. Sorry but I'm a busy person. But before I leave I'll ask you this one question just to make sure your brain is slightly functioning. Is an atheist a non Muslim or a Muslim. YES OR NO
Most of the people in this video believe in Jewish as a race not as a religion ,I think...I can not be a Muslim if I don't believe in God,how can I be a Christian and atheist in the same time?!
In Judaism we don't need evidence, all rules of your society and nature are put to the side, simply because we believe, and we love. There's no way to explain it.
@@absurdist_666 yes there is...its called ignorance. You are carbon based life forms...nothing else. I'm not saying living a happy healthy life is wrong but at some point you need to tell god to fk off.
Even if you’re not ethnically Jewish, and even if you are an atheist, you can still practice Judaism and be considered a Jew. A belief in God is not required in Judaism.
Ask the question to hitler. A jew is a jew no matter what he believes in. Christians and Muslims are no longer Christian/muslim once they denounce their faith even if they do Christian/muslim culture things etc. A jew will never say he is not a jew no matter how "athiest" he is. This is testament to the Eternity of the Living God and Truth of the Torah that says "You are bound to God your Lord throughout your whole life every day". Many Jewish "atheists" are just looking for an excuse not to keep to the Laws of the Torah so they try to theorize etc. but they will never say they're not Jewish because being Jewish isn't logical or belief centered. Its because of the Jewish soul which is forever rooted to God whether he likes it or not
In my personal experience: because I have a background of going to Israel and learning Hebrew, and learning the Torah in Hebrew has been a great deep passion of mine - I personally feel when you read the Torah in Hebrew, with passion and love, and talk to Elohim - they speak to you, and teach you the truth about existence in a real 'scientific', real experiential way. Also when we read the Torah with passion and love, there are a lot of deep wise pragmatic coded scriptures that speak to us deeply in our DNA and enable us with wisdom.
Hebrew is an ethnicity/nation - the nation of Israel, with its own unique religion, but religion is only one of the unique shared/common ethnic characteristics of the Hebrew ethnicity/nation, such as: history, customs, traditions, religion, language, origin, etc. The reason MusIims and Christians have a hard time understanding this, is because Christianity and lsIam are a religious group, not an ethno-religious group (there are some sects or churches that are related to a specific ethnicity, but that is not the general case).
Hebrews don't exist anymore. How can a Ethiopian, Indian and a European be from the same ethnic. That was the reason why Hebrew is dead since over 1500 years. Ivrit is a constructed language with Slavic and Germanic elements.
Inconnu Hebrew-Israelites continuously existed for thousands of years, trying to label them as something eIse isn't going to change that. Being ignorant or willfully ignorant to historical, archeological, linguistic, genetic, religious, and cultural evidence isn't going to change it either. The Hebrew language was never dead as you're baseIessIy claiming here, it just wasn't widely used as an everyday language. The language was known among the various Hebrew diaspora communities and was used mostly for liturgical purposes. Nothing was "constructed", and you're also purposely dishonestIy confusing Hebrew and Yiddish, which are two different things.
Humans Suck No, they didn't continously exist. Otherwise Hebrew wouldn't have been a dead language without native speakers for more than 1500 years I am not confusing Hebrew ans Yiddish. Those are two completely different languages. Yiddish is basically just a German dialect while Hebrew is a Semitic language. Don't deny. Just do a simple google search for Hebrew and then Ivrit. Ivrit is a constructed language and nobody denies that. Ivrit was constructed by people like Elisier Ben-Jehuda, Saul Tschernichowski, Zeev Jabotinsky. As I said. Elisier Ben-Jehuda waa the first person to speak this constructed language Ivrit to his children. Ivrit is constructed just like Esperanto is. Just do a simple research. Hebrew was a dead language, nobody was speaking it. It was just used for liturgical purposes. If your argument is that for this reason Hebrew wasn't dead, then Latin is not dead too. Latin is even the official language of Vatican. But Latin is dead too. The definition of a language being dead is that there are no native speakers left. And there were no native speakers left just like there are no native speakers of Latin. The father of Zionism Theodor Herzl wanted the language of Israel to be German or Yiddish. That is not a joke, these are simple facts. As I said, do a simple search, that is something which nobody denies.
Inconnu You're just repeating exactly the same nonsense (and adding a few irrelevant half-truths) while ignoring the answer you already received to your nonsensical/dishonest claims, like a typical brainwashed fooI. The answer I gave isn't going to change just because you ignore it and repeat the same garbage. The fact that Hebrew-Israelites lost sovereignty over thier indigenous homeland due to brutal foreign imperiaIism and coIoniaIism does not mean they ceased to exist. They continuously existed for thousands of years, trying to label them as something eIse isn't going to change that. Being ignorant or willfully ignorant to historical, archeological, linguistic, genetic, religious, and cultural evidence isn't going to change it either. In the 20th century they were finally able to get back sovereignty over thier indigenous homeland, after being forced to live landless in the diaspora as one of the most persecuted minority in history (due to European Christian anti-Hebrew racist hatred, and lsIamic Jevv-hatred, a side from being a landless spread minority). The Hebrew language was never dead as you're baseIessIy claiming here, it just wasn't widely used as an everyday language. The language was known among the various Hebrew diaspora communities and was used mostly for liturgical purposes. The Hebrew language was never dead. Nothing was "constructed", and you're also purposely dishonestIy confusing Hebrew and Yiddish, which are two different things. Someone who knows Hebrew today can read Hebrew from 2000 years ago. Even if it wasn't the case, it would still be irrelevant, since no language on the planet is identical to what it has been (if it even existed) thousands of years ago.
The world is full of atheist. They are inventors and innovators, actors and actress. One is the richest person in the world, Bill Gates; and one Athiests, agnostics and humanist have contribute endless to society. 98 percent of the world leading scientist are athiest or agnostics. Countless actors and actress who have given millions to others are athiest. Scientist with Nobel prize award who contribute endlessly to mankind for their discoveries in all scientific departments. Albert Einstein was a ardent atheist. Religious people say atheist are devil worshippers but enjoy the fruit of labor from those so-called devil's spawns. Known atheist/agnostic who have given or promised to give billions of their wealth: Bill Gates, who started the "Giving Pledge", Warren Buffet, Ted Turner and JK Rawlings, who has given millions upon millions to charity that she is not a billionaire anymore. "We will ask questions and look for the answers, while you pretend to have the answers, and ask no questions" So, your facts and assertions are lies, but it's quite evident that religious people love to lie and censor the truth.
Smooth kriminal Bill Gates is not an atheist. You atheists are full of lies. Why you do not believe in God. The two cannot coexist. Here is an interview with Bill Gates: Do you believe in God? I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill. But the mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about. To say that it was generated by random numbers, that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs]. I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know. www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/bill-gates-the-rolling-stone-interview-20140313
Smooth kriminal Albert Einstein wasn't an atheist... He believed in a creator of the universe sort of. Believing in an entity or a creator doesn't contradict science at all. Humans will probably never be able to explain what the origin of everything existing is. Why does anything exist? Why does everything work so well with mathematics? Because of questions like these, believing in a creator is a concept that we can comprehend the best
You are Jew if your "mother" is one, so lineage is through female. Same person defines Jews as children of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" (i.e lineage through male). I think they are confuse.
@@amssydsing3475 It's a common belief among the Jews that God gave them the state of Israel, even though some don't believe in God. This just shows how little Zionism has a conneciton to Judaism, some religious Jews say that they can't have a land of their own until their messiah arrives. They're all over the place. I honestly can't tell who's Jewing who anymore.
No matter if we believe or not . We are the natives here unlike arabs. Ur greed is amazing. Egypt wasn't enough nor Morocco even Kurdistan. Coptic amazigh berbers and kurds will always have more respect than rays like u keep crying
Lol let make thing clear intermarriage in general is a great sin in Judiasm,not exacly Ashkenazi,this is written in the Talmud,A Jewish person can only come from Jewish womb unless his soul yearns to Israel(Jewish conversion),in fact it was known that Jewish women are loyal and never marry outside(before secularism)but Jewish man did it often,taking foreign women espcially in Rome and Babylon so this measure was to say to the man your kids will not be Jewish becuase they did not come out from a Jewish womb.
This is an eye opener for me... Probably I will be able to understand Qur'aan better now... When allah addresses them as Bani Israel, people of book, yahoodi... each means different... Now.. There is super set, and subsets and conjugated sets...
The Quran is not from God. It is all made up. Islam is violent. Islamic law is violent. If a Jews no longer practices his religion, nothing happens. But, if a Muslim leaves his religion he is to be killed. Islam is very sad.
@@SephardiMx these are math terms. Supersets are groups of subsets that are comprised of numbers (or members in this case). For example: you can have a set which consists of all of the even numbers and another set consisting of all is the odd numbers. Both of these are subsets of the superset of whole numbers. I think he means that Yahoodi (Jew in Arabic) is a general term and that the other two are more specific. "The people of the book" is a term for the Jewish people as they received the Torah (First Testiment) and preserved it to this day. And the Bani "Israel" means the children of Isreal aka the nationality.
Yes, a Jew who does not believe in G-d is still a jew by ethnicity/ancestry and tribal law (if his mother is Jewish). They are still our brothers. And I agree with the older man who said no Jew is truly atheist.
My mum's dad was Jewish but her mother wasn't so she is not considered to be Jewish even though biologically she is just as Jewish as a person born to a Jewish mother. Seems like a silly rule.
paul paul it stems from the Halakha, which were the tribal/religious laws that governed ancient Israel. I know plenty of Jews from the former soviet union who are mixed due to the suppression of our religion, they are my brothers nonetheless. You still have a stronger ancestral claim to Israel than any of the Arabs here. I would not hesitate to learn about your roots/religion
The maternal great-grandmother of my maternal grandmother was a Sephardic Jew . My grandmother's paternal family also had Jewish ancestors, they came from a Sephardic family who converted to Islam centuries ago. The maternal great-grandmother of my paternal grandmother was an Ashkenazi Jew who converted to Catholicism. So my Muslim grandmother and my Catholic grandmother are actually Jewish? 🤣🤔
@@vision3439 it hard for some people, because there are different words for using to male and female, and it has a lot biases of words, and I u read, mostly there are no vowels. In addition it's sometimes difficult to understand literary Hebrew, because it's biestablished on old Hebrew, from the Bible and other religious books, etc...(:
A person born a Jew converts to Islam. The Jews say he is still a Jew, while the Muslims say he is a muslim. This is the logic you get when the group defines what a person is.
Religions are like tv channels, atheism is just the off-button. Most Jews i know are smart,creative,humorous freethinker with a spiritual or philosophical mindset. They are the opposite of indoctrinated People who idealise a religious-theocratic system. I Wish i could say the same about muslims.... Greetz, Peace,Salam and Shalom from Germany
Alan Hughes How is atheism a religious belief? There is no religion involved. Just the absence of belief. It’s the same as not believing in Santa Claus. 🚫 🎅🏼 I don’t live my life based on not believing in Santa Claus. 🤔
Alan Hughes Yes, we explore those same questions, but I don’t see those questions as religious questions, but rather philosophical questions. (Maybe spiritual?) And I don’t factor God into any of the possible answers. Maybe it’s semantics because I think we’re coming from pretty much the same place. I just don’t think the absence of belief is really a belief at all. If no one ever told me about God, the concept probably never would’ve occurred to me. It’s simply a non-thing. 😬
Alan Hughes Have you ever seen a unicorn? Do you believe in Santa Claus? Do you believe in Thor? Do you pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Do you factor any of those four things into your life, or believe they can provide any insight to life’s biggest questions? To me, God is the same as those four. I don’t believe there’s a God. I don’t factor God into my ponderings or reasonings. And the absence of God does not point me to any of those important questions. Atheism actually means “no theism.” No God. Straight up. Although I do admit that an absence of a belief in God does eliminate the possibility of intelligent design. There is a difference in our reasoning.
So a Jew has a special soul by birth? Is that soul genetically inherited from mothers only? That's interesting. We inherit the mitochondrial asset from our mothers. Or is it done because as the Romans said "Mater semper certa est"? That makes a convert never a real Jew... or what? What if a woman converts to Judaism then have a child, what is the child? Jew or mere convert without that special soul? Thanks to anyone who can help me solve these questions.
Guy says he is an atheist but more Jew then the spiritual ones and what not. Please. I think this has to do with the struggle they faced in history so it’s like a denial to avoid confrontation and not give into the norms of a Jew cause they see that as more connected to that struggle and will be undermined. Let’s not forget liberalism, the new generation became spoiled and forgot there roots.
It's quite confusing. If being a Jew is based on ones mother being Jewish, how can it simultaneously be based on descent from the Patriarchs? As, for example, Issac would be Jewish because Sara was not Abraham?
They go by mother because of Abraham and Sara. If they went by father, they would have to acknowledge Ishmael Abrahams first son (father of the Arabs/Muslims nation) . They acknowledge Isaac- Sarah’s son as the (father of the Jewish nation). Also in ancient times it was patrilineal but during the diaspora and dispersions it became matrilineal because you always know who a mother is for sure
Seems unanimous. I suspect this is something many people will have a hard time getting their heads around. I often ask myself, through history, how many Jewish people were atheists, or at least did not take the religious side of things too seriously.
5:25 when he says rabbi, he doesn't refer to the rambam, but to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. I suggest you will search what he says about this topic, it is very interesting.
Dan "shall achieve justice for his kindred" "Let Dan be a serpent by the roadside, a horned viper by the path, That bites the horse's heel, so that the rider tumbles backward."
If you want to talk purely DNA, someone might fit into an ethnic category with roots in the British Isles - and claim to be ethnically British as a result - or with roots in Southern Italy - and they might claim to be ethnically Italian. Ashkenazi Jews' rates of intermarriage were so high over the centuries that Ashkenazim share even more in common ethnically (a lot more) than people of other ethnic groups. It's not exactly glamorous, but any Ashkenazi who takes a DNA test on Ancestry or 23andMe will see thousands of fourth and fifth cousins who aren't even fourth and fifth cousins but show up as such because we just share that much DNA with them going way back. Someone who's 3/4 Jewish but has a Christian mom might not identify as a Jew, and they might not even meet the standard of some of the more liberal people in the video, but they could definitely be called ethnically Jewish.
My parents are Ashkenazi Jewish people. They have 91-96% Ashkenazi Jewish DNA in them. My mother just shared her ancestory.com story with me. She was contracted by a Jewish woman. Now, her ancestors were Lithuanian-Jews, before the Shoah. Luckily, they moved to South Africa before the WWII. "Our entire family were South African Jews," my mom said, "What were their names?" The woman said to my mom, "My ancestors were named John and Rosie." "Uncle John and Aunty Rosie!" my mother said. Weird.
@@AYKay-yb6zs how can you be Ashkenazi Jew? What does that even mean? Ashkenazi isnt a tribe of Israel. By definition Ashkenazi Jews are Jews from Germany. So what in their DNA makes them "German" Jews and not Yemeni Jews?
@@MrJoebrooklyn1969 Ashkenazi is the most diluted. Many of them came from Eastern Europe/Russia just to get away from their peasant life. In fact DNA tests show Palestinians are more Semitic Jew than Ashkenazis. The irony.
Being a jew is an essential 'soul identity.' it is not a religion in the sense that if you don't believe you are no longer part of that religion. A jew is a jew no matter what.
You know what would be interesting? If you branched out and did more than the conflict, for instance you covered the relations inside Israeli or Palestinian society. Like the relation between the religious, non-religious, if you asked religious folk why they are against the army, etc. I'm Chareidi/Ultra Orthodox. Examples of stuff I'd love to see: - Why we don't believe in Yom Ha'atmaut - Yom Hashoah - Army - The General state of Israel - Discrimination, both ways. (Religous towards secular and secular towards religous) Etc..
The two young women at the very beginning of the broadcast said it all in a succinct and elegant manner. I would like to expand a little on that and hope to hear other peoples' thoughts. We Jews, (and we also managed to confuse the rest of the world), are confused ourselves if being Jewish is a religion or a nationality. Christians can be from anywhere, and usually identify themselves by their birth country and keep it most likely for the rest of their lives regardless of in which country they live. But Jews? ... oh no ... we have to stir the pot until no one knows what kind of soup we are. :) I hardly ever go to synagogue. When I do, it is most often on main holidays and by invitation to a celebration at a synagogue. I consider myself Jewish because I was born in Poland shortly after WW II ended, to Eastern European Jewish parents. I lived in Poland for a while, Israel for a while, and now reside in the US. I identify as a Jew. I celebrate Jewish holidays with friends and family, even though I do not believe any the bible stories and legends associated with these celebrations. Who in his right mind would turn down getting together with all their loved ones for a delicious and usually festive meal which includes !!! FRESH LATKES WITH SOUR CREAM !!! You have to be Jewish to really appreciate it. I personally think that Judaism is a philosophy of life rather than a religion. It is based on one simple idea. Love your neighbor as yourself. The rest of Judaism, as Rabbi Akiva (I think) said, the rest is an elaboration on that thought. I would also like to add that there are no atheists in this world. There are those whose "religion" is science and knowledge to help understand things and give meaning to their life. Religious people, of all religions, like to hear stories about god to help ease their life. If you want to see the extent to which some of our orthodox brethren can take take their practice of Judaism, watch on TH-cam a "kiss the mezzuzah" skit by an Israeli comedy ensemble. We all wonder at one time or another, where we come from, why are we here, and what happens after we die. This is even harder to solve than a Rubik's cube. The two beautiful, young and bright Israeli women ... I wish I were 20 again :)
Not quite. Yes, all of us understand that we remain Jews whether we believe or not. However, whilst a secular Jew (such as myself) considers religion a fallacy and sees himself free to live his life anyway he pleases, a religious Jew will never respect my choice. For him, I will always be someone who has strayed, and he will always try to put me back on the "right track".
These people can now return to the promised land and , in return they are so quick to forsake GOD. I doubt that those interviewed do not represent the majority.
This is fascinating thanks for your efforts. The question I would like to ask is "Can you be a Jew if you make a conversion to Judaism?" "Can you be a Jew even if you were born to an Irish (for example) mother yet converted to the Jewish religion?" Why or why not? Thanks again.
corey i think you have great talent to bring everyones opinions and views into the world. this way the world can connect and be one consciousness together! please continue to do this amazing work! make sure to also look out of these specific guys with the lil yellow pin on their jacket. they speak the truth with no reserve!
Jewish Fascist Off course Jews are ethicity, the precise defintion of this ethnicity is cited by Wikipedia "Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group[12] and a nation[13][14][15] originating from the Israelites,[16][17][18] or Hebrews,[19][20] of the Ancient Near East. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated,[21] " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Ethnoreligous group is defined as "An ethnoreligious group (or ethno-religious group) is an ethnic group whose members are also unified by a common religious background." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoreligious_group Btw your channel name is highly insulting to Jewish people. Jews were victims of Fascism in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Italy in hundreds of thousands. Mussolini whom you put on your favorites was not just a closest associate of Hitler, but also a man who signed numerous antisemitic laws and the fact that he did not executed Italian Jews doesnt mean that the Jewish people have any other feeling regarding Fascist Italy or Fascist Hungary beside full disgust.
are you partially Jewish yourself btw?? Yes Jewish looking Jeff Goldblum, Franz Kafka, Mordechai Ben David, Shimon Peres, Shel Silverstein,Sasha Baron Cohen, Rahm Emanuel are just some Ashkenazi Jews who could be 100% Mizrahi Jews. On the other hand, Shiri Maimon had a no drop of Ashkenazi blood. Serbs, Montenegrin's and Croats are if not same very closely related people. They speak the same Serbo-Croat language which is now because of political divisions called "Croat" in Croatia and "Serb" i n Serbia. Bosniaks are descendants of Serbs and Croats who converted to Islam during Ottoman times. Their ethnicity was just recently proclaimed (as Muslims by nationality in 1971, and Bosniaks since 1992) Slovenians and Macedonians are very closely related to Serbo-Croats but their language, culture and mentality is little bit different (than of Serbo-Croats) Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks are divided by three different religion, although by mentality and language they are same people.
The 10% Jews figure in Roman empire was long time ago abandoned by all serious scholars and I am really surprised that yo come out with this well known distortion. The origin of this claim was the Eusebius' Chronicon, and was recycled by probably the worst historian of Jews, Sallo Witmayer Baron. Based on Eusebius Chronicon (which claimed also that Rome had 14 million inhabitants) a little known 13th century historian concluded that there were 6,944,000 Jews in the Roman Empire out of 60 million inhabitants. This claim is today fully abandoned by all historians ..and most modern historians agree that in I century there were about 3 million Jews in Roman Empire, while the most cited historic demographer of Jewish people Sergio DellaPergola estimates that the land of Israel, was the most densely populated region of Roman empire, having 2,500 000 inhabitants prior to Roman destruction of Israel, 99% of whom were Jews archive.iussp.org/Brazil2001/s60/S64_02_dellapergola.pdf For the 10% claim en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora#cite_note-Bartlett-23 "The 13th-century author Bar Hebraeus gave a figure of 6,944,000 Jews in the Roman world Salo Wittmayer Baron considered the figure convincing.[22] The figure of seven million within and one million outside the Roman world in the mid-first century became widely accepted, including by Louis Feldman. However, contemporary scholars now accept that Bar Hebraeus based his figure on a census of total Roman citizens. The figure of 6,944,000 being recorded in Eusebius' Chronicon, although this number is seen by modern scholarship as huge exaggeration.[23]: 90, 94, 104-05[24] Louis Feldman, previously an active supporter of the figure, now states that he and Baron were mistaken.[25]:" The population distance is not the measure of being one ethnicity, but very imprecise measure of admixture possibility, that could be applied only to people that historically shared same space ( f.e. Russians versus Russian Jews) The biological relatedness of Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews is based primarly on shared identical hapolgrouip composition. Atzmon and all found that "Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews share approximately 63% of genome (IBD across these Jewish groups (63% of all shared segments), which corresponds with over 70% of shared origin (Nicolas Wide estimate) The theory, that Ashkenazi Jews bought local wifes in Europe is not historic, it is based solely on one genetic study (Richards at al 2013) which was challenged by more recent study of Fernandez at al 2015, and more comprehensive, but older study of Behar and al and the study of Ferrer at al that all found huge portion of Levantine origin in mtDNA of AJ. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1380291/ There is a lot of common ground between Western Jews who adhere to Jewish tradition and Israeli Jews. Not just biologically, Israeli culture is spread through Jewish and Zionist educational system to all Jewish schools in diaspora. When I spoke about this Diaspora group, I precisely used the term *those who will remain Jewish in next 50 years* so to exclude American Liberal and progressive Jews, who with 72% of intermarriage rate, are disappearing with record speed and will become extinct in next 50y. +The Jewish population of UK increased from 46,000 in 1880 to about 250,000 in 1919, through immigration of Russian and East European Jews, not German Jews. About 80% of British Jews today have Eastern European origin. Your question regarding why I put "Palestinians" in quotation marks sounds strange for someone who put Irgun emblem as his icon, so may I ask you what is your ethnicity, and where you live? As for the anwser, although Muslim Arabs today certainly went through ethnogenisis and self identification, their national identity, still lacks the secular element as most of non Muslim that should be "Palestinian" (virtually all Druze, Samritanians, Armenians, Circasian and a huge part of Arab Christians) do not identify with this artificial nation. More importantly, the idea that Muslim Arabs (and supposedly also non Muslim Arabs) are "Palestinian people" was invented by KGB in 1960s with the thievery of the historic name of Jewish Palestine, that was created by the League of Nation, in recognition of exclusive Jewish national rights toward the Land of Israel. Palestine is part of Jewish history, and has little to do with the people who are using this Hebrew term for invaders, as the name of their newly created nation, while due to lack of "P" in Arabic are unable even correctly to pronounce "their own name"

@@eevakallio6686 In India we have the 2nd highest population of Muslims in the world. We have had some conflicts but the majority of them are really peaceful. Both groups should learn from the rest of the world on how to co-exist instead of acting like a bunch of toddlers.
Islam is the religion of peace. In his book Al-Qur'an in his Surat Al-Israa, Allaah has revealed how the disappearance of the Children of Israel will not tempt them, and they will not be guided by them.

Smooth kriminal lol I love how u cherry pick wise atheist people. They several are wise Christians in history too this includes Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Boyle, Ray, Linnaeus, and Cuvier and many more who were all Christians. It is also establish that over 74 percent noble prices were won by Christians so yea be picky. That atheist are wise ones here only
+ HashK "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me," Albert Eistein wrote in a letter in January 1954, just a year before his death. That pretty much resolves disputes about Einstein's views of religion. + Armando Santos Yes, there were wise Christians, but most of them would be atheists these days, with currently available common knowledge and understanding of the world.
+ HashK That was earlier Einstein. Other than that it's semantics. Of course a rational person such as Einstein cannot say he's an agnostic in a strict sense of this word. He acknowledges that even if something's probability approaches zero, it cannot be ruled out. The same way we cannot rule out that the Earth is flat, as we may all be subjects of an illusion that it's round. But the probability of these things is a different case and that's why people often prefer to refer to themselves as atheists rather than agnostics. Saying you're an agnostic is like saying "I know that I know nothings" - gods may or ma not be real. That doesn't specify that yeah, they may be real, but it's probability approaches zero.
Yes he can, beacuse I have alot of Jewish friends, they are jews but athiests and if you asked them why did you take palestine they respond God gave it to us really funny😄😄😄
Omar Faraj Then your friends are stupid. I'm an Israeli atheist Jew, and we were legally mandated (given, not taken) Palestine as a historic return to Israel, because it's our historic homeland as evidenced by archaeology (with global academic consensus agreement across the globe). And of course because we were a homeless, defenseless people during all the genocides, massacres and oppression we suffered in the middle east & Europe, proving a historic repetition of this that doesn't end even after Haskalah movement focus on assimilating Jews into exilic life making our Jewishness invisible... as it's a historic repeat that will never stop, necessitating our self-determination to live as every other nation does in the world.
I would love to meet with you and work with you on videos! I don't know when I'll next be in the area but I will certainly keep it in mind (I'm in the USA now). Thank you Corey!
It's interesting to see that many of these folks absolutely cannot conceive of "non belief"..."oh thats a belief in itself, you still have belief in your heart, you will discover it and change..." . What a prison.
Agreed. The narrator made is very clear that he had no beliefs at all, that he wouldn't change, and even asked about someone being 120 years old to show they really wouldn't change. Still, people insisted there was a belief in god lurking deep inside them. (I guess they are just unaware of it lol.) Don't you just love it when someone tells you what you really believe? Oprah had some atheists on her show and she insisted that they believed in god. Oprah may be richer than god, but she ain't too bright.
Look. Maybe they don't necessarily believe BUT even if they don't, they still have a special part of Hashem in her/him. We're a family. Even if we abandon Hashem הקדוש ברוך הוא never leaves us.
Basically, if Judaism is reduced to being a family lineage then yes you can be an atheist and still be considered a Jew. But if you expand Judaism to include all the set of beliefs that, for example, you’d require a convert to Judaism to adhere to then your Jewishness should be questionable.
The Judaism is the only religion to be also nationality, People, Tradition and culture. Religiously, A Jewish can be atheist for his own person. In the point of view of Judaism, he will remain Jewish from womb till grave.
What you believe (or claim to believe) is really important to Christianity and Islam. The fact that it is different in Judaism is really troubling only to those setting it within their own framework of values. It's quite simple really.
Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
But the question is that after the death of an atheist jew..would he get the same rewards from his Yahweh (like heaven etc or like they used to have all the luxuries in Moses period) if he didn't even believe at all in his yahweh in his whole life? Would yahweh like to give his heaven to his jew who never acted upon His commands rather he went against them.
Mariam Ashfaque The question of after-life is not so clear-cut as Christian & Muslim religions. Firstly, there is nothing written in the Torah about an after-life. Secondly, Talmudic ideas vary on the question of after-life. For example, in Kabbalah (mystic Judaism) the after-life is being in the journey/path to closeness to god, and in that journey you struggle and experience difficulty/pain - the more sinful you were in life, the more painful the ascent to being close to god. i.e. there is no hell in Judaism.
+interestingyoutubechannel Yes, quite clear Mariam Ashfaque is superimposing her own religious traditions on Jews. Heaven? Afterlife? Rewards? What a load of old tosh!
interestingyoutubechannel Judaism does has a concept of hell/heaven a place named "sheol" some rabbis said about it where sinners could live 12 months or some maybe forever but the concept is not clear because mostly modern rabbis don't talk about it www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1594422/jewish/Do-Jews-Believe-in-Hell.htm www.myjewishlearning.com/article/heaven-and-hell-in-jewish-tradition/ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell#Judaism

The last lady is right. Atheism is a belief system that can be just as strong as any religion. However, someone who is irreligious or agnostic may not have a belief system.
atheism literally means irreligious, which means having NO BELIEF in a god .. it's not antitheism... which is the BELIEF there is no god. Agnosticism is just a bad term.
BTW In Russia Jews are consireded to be an ethnicity, not a religious group. When we want to talk about jewish religion we usually use term Judaism or Judaic. So when you say "jew" in Russia probably nobody will think of religion.
"Иудей" - somebody who practises Judaism.
"Еврей" - an ethnic Jew.
Почему нет? Я как то читала про раввина-эритрейца, прошел гиюр и хорошо разбирался в талмуде...
Russia hash has more ethnically homogeneous populations in Russian and former Soviet areas, so naturally people in Russia have a much better and more educated understanding of what ethnicity is. In places like the Americas, everyone is so mixed up ethnically, their societies have struggles with understanding ethnic identities.
I did not know this . Thanks for sharing this information .
Judaism is a religion, this jewish ethnicity you talk about is not here anymore, most of the jews you see now are a mix of converts and jews who mixed with non jews centuries ago.
You should have asked them, if they said yes, then can a person become a Muslim or Christian and still be a Jew?
Kjellyn Peterson yes. I did my final exams on that. We have something called a Jewish soul that a person gets when she’s born. No matter if se converts or is an atheist she will always stay a Jew. So yes, born a Jew and die a Jew
choosing to practice a way to believe false or not does not have anything to do with your ethnic identity.
Dada Di You contradict yourself, atheists often do not believe in souls.
Once a Jew converts to any other religion, he's no longer considered a Jew by other Jews. Amusing to see answers from non Jews who think they know. That Jew could at any moment renounce that other religion, and immediately restore his full Jew status.
@@abz124816 ((them))
Well Judaism is a religion, but being a Jew is also connected to ethnic identity.
@aryann What?
It's a fake identity. An Ethiopian, European and Indian as the same ethnic? The Hebrews are a dead nation, that's why Hebrew is a dead language. Ivrit is just a constructed one with Slavic and Germanic elements.
efopo Not true. As an example, if a Yazidi doesn't follow the rules (marriage, etc.) they are not considered Yazidi anymore.
efopo Yeah sure, a blond blue eyed Jew from Germsny is nearer to a Yemeni Jew than to a German? Sure. Why do the Jews look like the people where they immigrated from then?
Hebrew is dead for more than 1500 years, it had no native speakers at all. Just do your reaearch and google Hebrew
efopo I rather suggest you to read what that means
this is mostly saying, "once you're born into this tribe/family by a female tribe member, you're one of us until the day you die, and we'll love and support you even if you don't technically believe in our deity."

You are making laughable claims. There is a consensus among all relevant geneticists and all academic institutions that there is shared Israelite genetic origin among all major Jewish groups.

What I learned from these people and the video itself is that once you were born a Jew regardless of what happened to you and what you became, you will always be a jew. Because from the video itself even the religious one believes that you can still be a Jew by being and atheist as long as you were born from a Jewish mother.

True. And not just in Israel. There are atheist Jews all over the planet.
U got it. We say religion and nation. Not ethnicity
True. Most foreigners don't get it, so it's refreshing to see someone who does.
The Nazis also got it. They murdered millions of Jews who were atheists, agnostics, and even those who had converted to Christianity. One's beliefs made no difference to them.
@@Gideon01 not exactly, there were many Germans who converted and were as much as half Jewish and weren't killed. Hitler's personal driver was half Jewish. He was not killed. In fact, when the news came out, he stood with him.
The Nazis killed many people, but it wasn't always because of their religion or their race. One of the biggest false narratives was that Nazis killed homosexuals. Most Nazi leaders were homosexuals. That was a well known "German vice" among Italian fascists and one of the reasons why Italian fascists hated them.
There is something they don't talk about... Because they are Israeli Jews.
Outside of Israel, the world will never not see you as anything other than a Jew... Allot of jews begin to notice it the moment antisemitism gets trendy.

But it seems that "religion" means to believe is something, even if it's true, or not true. But what are the facts?
The question is, even if people don't believe in God, does that make it true that there is no God? Taking religion out of the equation, what is true, or truth? Does God exist, or not?
Let's say God does exist. What would happen to the atheist when he dies, and encounters God? Is he going to tell him, "You're a figment of the imagination. You're not real."? And afterwards, will he realize that he has been living a lie the whole time, and now he knows he's screwed with an eternal life of torment? Especially after he foolishly called God a fairytale even though he is looking God face to face personally?

Of course, an atheist doesn't lose his ethnicity because he is an atheist, but he cannot belong to any religion, because he simply doesn't believe in God.

"Every Jew believes there is something small...a small part of his heart believes."

Hhhh Atheists logic 😂😂
Lol
Dummy, do you really think that it's the jewish atheist's argument?
Make it make sense
Thats because "Jewish" is both an ethnic group and a religious state based on Judaism. An ethno-religious group.
Even if you’re not ethnically Jewish, and even if you are an atheist, you can still practice Judaism and be considered a Jew. A belief in God is not required in Judaism.
Ask the question to hitler. A jew is a jew no matter what he believes in. Christians and Muslims are no longer Christian/muslim once they denounce their faith even if they do Christian/muslim culture things etc. A jew will never say he is not a jew no matter how "athiest" he is. This is testament to the Eternity of the Living God and Truth of the Torah that says "You are bound to God your Lord throughout your whole life every day". Many Jewish "atheists" are just looking for an excuse not to keep to the Laws of the Torah so they try to theorize etc. but they will never say they're not Jewish because being Jewish isn't logical or belief centered. Its because of the Jewish soul which is forever rooted to God whether he likes it or not
In my personal experience: because I have a background of going to Israel and learning Hebrew, and learning the Torah in Hebrew has been a great deep passion of mine - I personally feel when you read the Torah in Hebrew, with passion and love, and talk to Elohim - they speak to you, and teach you the truth about existence in a real 'scientific', real experiential way. Also when we read the Torah with passion and love, there are a lot of deep wise pragmatic coded scriptures that speak to us deeply in our DNA and enable us with wisdom.
Hebrew is an ethnicity/nation - the nation of Israel, with its own unique religion, but religion is only one of the unique shared/common ethnic characteristics of the Hebrew ethnicity/nation, such as: history, customs, traditions, religion, language, origin, etc.
The reason MusIims and Christians have a hard time understanding this, is because Christianity and lsIam are a religious group, not an ethno-religious group (there are some sects or churches that are related to a specific ethnicity, but that is not the general case).
No fairytaIe, just your laughable stravvman
Hebrews don't exist anymore. How can a Ethiopian, Indian and a European be from the same ethnic. That was the reason why Hebrew is dead since over 1500 years. Ivrit is a constructed language with Slavic and Germanic elements.
Inconnu
Hebrew-Israelites continuously existed for thousands of years, trying to label them as something eIse isn't going to change that. Being ignorant or willfully ignorant to historical, archeological, linguistic, genetic, religious, and cultural evidence isn't going to change it either.
The Hebrew language was never dead as you're baseIessIy claiming here, it just wasn't widely used as an everyday language. The language was known among the various Hebrew diaspora communities and was used mostly for liturgical purposes. Nothing was "constructed", and you're also purposely dishonestIy confusing Hebrew and Yiddish, which are two different things.
Humans Suck No, they didn't continously exist. Otherwise Hebrew wouldn't have been a dead language without native speakers for more than 1500 years
I am not confusing Hebrew ans Yiddish. Those are two completely different languages. Yiddish is basically just a German dialect while Hebrew is a Semitic language. Don't deny. Just do a simple google search for Hebrew and then Ivrit. Ivrit is a constructed language and nobody denies that. Ivrit was constructed by people like Elisier Ben-Jehuda, Saul Tschernichowski, Zeev Jabotinsky. As I said. Elisier Ben-Jehuda waa the first person to speak this constructed language Ivrit to his children. Ivrit is constructed just like Esperanto is. Just do a simple research. Hebrew was a dead language, nobody was speaking it. It was just used for liturgical purposes. If your argument is that for this reason Hebrew wasn't dead, then Latin is not dead too. Latin is even the official language of Vatican. But Latin is dead too. The definition of a language being dead is that there are no native speakers left. And there were no native speakers left just like there are no native speakers of Latin. The father of Zionism Theodor Herzl wanted the language of Israel to be German or Yiddish. That is not a joke, these are simple facts. As I said, do a simple search, that is something which nobody denies.
Inconnu
You're just repeating exactly the same nonsense (and adding a few irrelevant half-truths) while ignoring the answer you already received to your nonsensical/dishonest claims, like a typical brainwashed fooI. The answer I gave isn't going to change just because you ignore it and repeat the same garbage.
The fact that Hebrew-Israelites lost sovereignty over thier indigenous homeland due to brutal foreign imperiaIism and coIoniaIism does not mean they ceased to exist. They continuously existed for thousands of years, trying to label them as something eIse isn't going to change that.
Being ignorant or willfully ignorant to historical, archeological, linguistic, genetic, religious, and cultural evidence isn't going to change it either.
In the 20th century they were finally able to get back sovereignty over thier indigenous homeland, after being forced to live landless in the diaspora as one of the most persecuted minority in history (due to European Christian anti-Hebrew racist hatred, and lsIamic Jevv-hatred, a side from being a landless spread minority).
The Hebrew language was never dead as you're baseIessIy claiming here, it just wasn't widely used as an everyday language. The language was known among the various Hebrew diaspora communities and was used mostly for liturgical purposes. The Hebrew language was never dead.
Nothing was "constructed", and you're also purposely dishonestIy confusing Hebrew and Yiddish, which are two different things. Someone who knows Hebrew today can read Hebrew from 2000 years ago. Even if it wasn't the case, it would still be irrelevant, since no language on the planet is identical to what it has been (if it even existed) thousands of years ago.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them.
Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill. But the mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about.
To say that it was generated by random numbers, that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs]. I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.

Smooth kriminal Albert Einstein wasn't an atheist... He believed in a creator of the universe sort of. Believing in an entity or a creator doesn't contradict science at all. Humans will probably never be able to explain what the origin of everything existing is. Why does anything exist? Why does everything work so well with mathematics? Because of questions like these, believing in a creator is a concept that we can comprehend the best
You are Jew if your "mother" is one, so lineage is through female. Same person defines Jews as children of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" (i.e lineage through male). I think they are confuse.
That's a good point!

He gave YOU 'the' land? You're making little sense unless you are generalising to the extent of being bigoted
@@amssydsing3475 It's a common belief among the Jews that God gave them the state of Israel, even though some don't believe in God.

Lol let make thing clear intermarriage in general is a great sin in Judiasm,not exacly Ashkenazi,this is written in the Talmud,A Jewish person can only come from Jewish womb unless his soul yearns to Israel(Jewish conversion),in fact it was known that Jewish women are loyal and never marry outside(before secularism)but Jewish man did it often,taking foreign women espcially in Rome and Babylon so this measure was to say to the man your kids will not be Jewish becuase they did not come out from a Jewish womb.
It's literally written in the Talmud (which was written before Ashkenazim)
I was born into a Hindu family but now I am an hardcore Atheist but I follow the Hindu principles more than Hindus 🤣🤣
This is an eye opener for me... Probably I will be able to understand Qur'aan better now... When allah addresses them as Bani Israel, people of book, yahoodi... each means different... Now.. There is super set, and subsets and conjugated sets...
What are you saying? Lol
The Quran is not from God. It is all made up. Islam is violent. Islamic law is violent. If a Jews no longer practices his religion, nothing happens. But, if a Muslim leaves his religion he is to be killed.
Islam is very sad.
@@SephardiMx these are math terms. Supersets are groups of subsets that are comprised of numbers (or members in this case).
For example: you can have a set which consists of all of the even numbers and another set consisting of all is the odd numbers. Both of these are subsets of the superset of whole numbers.
I think he means that Yahoodi (Jew in Arabic) is a general term and that the other two are more specific. "The people of the book" is a term for the Jewish people as they received the Torah (First Testiment) and preserved it to this day. And the Bani "Israel" means the children of Isreal aka the nationality.
Very convenient to be a Jew. You receive the benefits of salvation even though you don’t believe in it.
Isn't it wonderful to be part of a religious group where even if you declare yourself an athiest they'll still treat you like family?

Yes, a Jew who does not believe in G-d is still a jew by ethnicity/ancestry and tribal law (if his mother is Jewish). They are still our brothers.
And I agree with the older man who said no Jew is truly atheist.
My mum's dad was Jewish but her mother wasn't so she is not considered to be Jewish even though biologically she is just as Jewish as a person born to a Jewish mother.
Seems like a silly rule.
paul paul it stems from the Halakha, which were the tribal/religious laws that governed ancient Israel. I know plenty of Jews from the former soviet union who are mixed due to the suppression of our religion, they are my brothers nonetheless.
You still have a stronger ancestral claim to Israel than any of the Arabs here. I would not hesitate to learn about your roots/religion
The maternal great-grandmother of my maternal grandmother was a Sephardic Jew . My grandmother's paternal family also had Jewish ancestors, they came from a Sephardic family who converted to Islam centuries ago. The maternal great-grandmother of my paternal grandmother was an Ashkenazi Jew who converted to Catholicism. So my Muslim grandmother and my Catholic grandmother are actually Jewish? 🤣🤔
God, i wish i could learn hebrew but its soooo damn hard.
why is it hard?

William. I live in Israel and tryna learn English, and it's so hard for me 😂
@@vision3439 it hard for some people, because there are different words for using to male and female, and it has a lot biases of words, and I u read, mostly there are no vowels. In addition it's sometimes difficult to understand literary Hebrew, because it's biestablished on old Hebrew, from the Bible and other religious books, etc...(:
Why would you wanna learn it? There's no use to it other than reading the Bible for a foreigner.
A person born a Jew converts to Islam. The Jews say he is still a Jew, while the Muslims say he is a muslim. This is the logic you get when the group defines what a person is.
Religions are like tv channels, atheism is just the off-button.
Most Jews i know are smart,creative,humorous freethinker with a spiritual or philosophical mindset.
They are the opposite of indoctrinated People who idealise a religious-theocratic system.

How is atheism a religious belief? There is no religion involved. Just the absence of belief. It’s the same as not believing in Santa Claus. 🚫 🎅🏼
I don’t live my life based on not believing in Santa Claus. 🤔
Alan Hughes
Yes, we explore those same questions, but I don’t see those questions as religious questions, but rather philosophical questions. (Maybe spiritual?) And I don’t factor God into any of the possible answers.
Maybe it’s semantics because I think we’re coming from pretty much the same place. I just don’t think the absence of belief is really a belief at all. If no one ever told me about God, the concept probably never would’ve occurred to me. It’s simply a non-thing. 😬
Alan Hughes
Have you ever seen a unicorn?
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Do you believe in Thor?
Do you pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Do you factor any of those four things into your life, or believe they can provide any insight to life’s biggest questions?
To me, God is the same as those four. I don’t believe there’s a God. I don’t factor God into my ponderings or reasonings. And the absence of God does not point me to any of those important questions.
Atheism actually means “no theism.” No God. Straight up.
Although I do admit that an absence of a belief in God does eliminate the possibility of intelligent design.
There is a difference in our reasoning.
Alan Hughes
Yes.
(Is this a trick question? 😜)
So a Jew has a special soul by birth? Is that soul genetically inherited from mothers only? That's interesting. We inherit the mitochondrial asset from our mothers.
Or is it done because as the Romans said "Mater semper certa est"?
That makes a convert never a real Jew... or what?
What if a woman converts to Judaism then have a child, what is the child? Jew or mere convert without that special soul?
Thanks to anyone who can help me solve these questions.
If a woman converts any children she has after the conversion are full fledged Jews.
None of that matters, it’s a made-up rule. If your father is Jewish and your mother’s not you are still Jewish.
The girl at the beginning was gorgeous
Probably because she has a lot of Arab ancestry i.e. Mizrahi Jew
Guy says he is an atheist but more Jew then the spiritual ones and what not. Please. I think this has to do with the struggle they faced in history so it’s like a denial to avoid confrontation and not give into the norms of a Jew cause they see that as more connected to that struggle and will be undermined. Let’s not forget liberalism, the new generation became spoiled and forgot there roots.

@@peterjason3573 Do most Indians believe in God or are they atheist?
It's quite confusing. If being a Jew is based on ones mother being Jewish, how can it simultaneously be based on descent from the Patriarchs?
As, for example, Issac would be Jewish because Sara was not Abraham?
I read that judaism is matrilineal because 'you always know who the mother of a child is'. Who was the father - you can't be sure.
Is not just about that, is about being part of a culture, a way of thinking, etc. You were brought up in a certain way.
When all the Jews were in the Kingdom of Israel being Jewish was patrilineal. During the diaspora this was changed because of what Nate said.
They go by mother because of Abraham and Sara. If they went by father, they would have to acknowledge Ishmael Abrahams first son (father of the Arabs/Muslims nation) . They acknowledge Isaac- Sarah’s son as the (father of the Jewish nation).
Also in ancient times it was patrilineal but during the diaspora and dispersions it became matrilineal because you always know who a mother is for sure
Seems unanimous. I suspect this is something many people will have a hard time getting their heads around. I often ask myself, through history, how many Jewish people were atheists, or at least did not take the religious side of things too seriously.
OMG - So Jews invented the concept of race hundreds of years before the European "white man". Those Jews always get there first, don't you find?
So much focus on one group of people
so the real question could be "could israel be GOD chosen people if they deny GOD?"🐒

Can you join an ethnic group?
5:25 when he says rabbi, he doesn't refer to the rambam, but to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. I suggest you will search what he says about this topic, it is very interesting.
Dan "shall achieve justice for his kindred"
"Let Dan be a serpent by the roadside, a horned viper by the path, That bites the horse's heel, so that the rider tumbles backward."
If you want to talk purely DNA, someone might fit into an ethnic category with roots in the British Isles - and claim to be ethnically British as a result - or with roots in Southern Italy - and they might claim to be ethnically Italian. Ashkenazi Jews' rates of intermarriage were so high over the centuries that Ashkenazim share even more in common ethnically (a lot more) than people of other ethnic groups. It's not exactly glamorous, but any Ashkenazi who takes a DNA test on Ancestry or 23andMe will see thousands of fourth and fifth cousins who aren't even fourth and fifth cousins but show up as such because we just share that much DNA with them going way back. Someone who's 3/4 Jewish but has a Christian mom might not identify as a Jew, and they might not even meet the standard of some of the more liberal people in the video, but they could definitely be called ethnically Jewish.
My parents are Ashkenazi Jewish people. They have 91-96% Ashkenazi Jewish DNA in them. My mother just shared her ancestory.com story with me. She was contracted by a Jewish woman. Now, her ancestors were Lithuanian-Jews, before the Shoah. Luckily, they moved to South Africa before the WWII. "Our entire family were South African Jews," my mom said, "What were their names?" The woman said to my mom, "My ancestors were named John and Rosie." "Uncle John and Aunty Rosie!" my mother said. Weird.
@@AYKay-yb6zs how can you be Ashkenazi Jew? What does that even mean? Ashkenazi isnt a tribe of Israel.
By definition Ashkenazi Jews are Jews from Germany. So what in their DNA makes them "German" Jews and not Yemeni Jews?
@@MrJoebrooklyn1969 Ashkenazi is the most diluted. Many of them came from Eastern Europe/Russia just to get away from their peasant life. In fact DNA tests show Palestinians are more Semitic Jew than Ashkenazis. The irony.
Being a jew is an essential 'soul identity.' it is not a religion in the sense that if you don't believe you are no longer part of that religion. A jew is a jew no matter what.
You know what would be interesting? If you branched out and did more than the conflict, for instance you covered the relations inside Israeli or Palestinian society. Like the relation between the religious, non-religious, if you asked religious folk why they are against the army, etc. I'm Chareidi/Ultra Orthodox. Examples of stuff I'd love to see:
- Why we don't believe in Yom Ha'atmaut
- Yom Hashoah
- Army
- The General state of Israel
- Discrimination, both ways. (Religous towards secular and secular towards religous)
Etc..

The hypocrisy in saying in an Atheist and there is no god, But god gave this Land to us...
There are millions of Jews who are Christains
350 000
The two young women at the very beginning of the broadcast said it all in a succinct and elegant manner. I would like to expand a little on that and hope to hear other peoples' thoughts.
We Jews, (and we also managed to confuse the rest of the world), are confused ourselves
if being Jewish is a religion or a nationality. Christians can be from anywhere, and usually identify themselves by their birth country and keep it most likely for the rest of their lives regardless of in which country they live. But Jews? ... oh no ... we have to stir the pot until no one knows what kind of soup we are. :) I hardly ever go to synagogue. When I do, it is most often on main holidays and by invitation to a celebration at a synagogue. I consider myself Jewish because I was born in Poland shortly after WW II ended, to Eastern European Jewish parents. I lived in Poland for a while, Israel for a while, and now reside in the US.
I identify as a Jew.
I celebrate Jewish holidays with friends and family, even though I do not believe any the bible stories and legends associated with these celebrations. Who in his right mind would turn down getting together with all their loved ones for a delicious and usually festive meal which includes !!! FRESH LATKES WITH SOUR CREAM !!!
You have to be Jewish to really appreciate it.
I personally think that Judaism is a philosophy of life rather than a religion.
It is based on one simple idea. Love your neighbor as yourself. The rest of Judaism, as Rabbi Akiva (I think) said, the rest is an elaboration on that thought.
I would also like to add that there are no atheists in this world.
There are those whose "religion" is science and knowledge to help understand things
and give meaning to their life.
Religious people, of all religions, like to hear stories about god to help ease their life.
If you want to see the extent to which some of our orthodox brethren can take take their practice of Judaism, watch on TH-cam a "kiss the mezzuzah" skit by an Israeli comedy ensemble.
We all wonder at one time or another, where we come from, why are we here, and what happens after we die. This is even harder to solve than a Rubik's cube.

I love that this is the one question that all the Israelis agreed upon regardless of their background and religiosity.
This is how we'll bring Mashiach. When we can all agree on the fact that we're a family whether you like it or not.
Not quite. Yes, all of us understand that we remain Jews whether we believe or not. However, whilst a secular Jew (such as myself) considers religion a fallacy and sees himself free to live his life anyway he pleases, a religious Jew will never respect my choice. For him, I will always be someone who has strayed, and he will always try to put me back on the "right track".
These people can now return to the promised land and , in return they are so quick to forsake GOD. I doubt that those interviewed do not represent the majority.

Jews are a nation a people and an ethnic group, by history, genetics and by the teachings of Judaism. Religious or atheist, it dosent matter.
Jewish Fascist
Off course Jews are ethicity, the precise defintion of this ethnicity is cited by Wikipedia
"Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group[12] and a nation[13][14][15] originating from the Israelites,[16][17][18] or Hebrews,[19][20] of the Ancient Near East. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated,[21] "
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews
Ethnoreligous group is defined as "An ethnoreligious group (or ethno-religious group) is an ethnic group whose members are also unified by a common religious background."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnoreligious_group
Btw your channel name is highly insulting to Jewish people. Jews were victims of Fascism in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Italy in hundreds of thousands. Mussolini whom you put on your favorites was not just a closest associate of Hitler, but also a man who signed numerous antisemitic laws and the fact that he did not executed Italian Jews doesnt mean that the Jewish people have any other feeling regarding Fascist Italy or Fascist Hungary beside full disgust.
are you partially Jewish yourself btw??
Yes

Jeff Goldblum, Franz Kafka, Mordechai Ben David, Shimon Peres, Shel Silverstein,Sasha Baron Cohen, Rahm Emanuel are just some Ashkenazi Jews who could be 100% Mizrahi Jews. On the other hand, Shiri Maimon had a no drop of Ashkenazi blood.
Serbs, Montenegrin's and Croats are if not same very closely related people. They speak the same Serbo-Croat language which is now because of political divisions called "Croat" in Croatia and "Serb" i n Serbia. Bosniaks are descendants of Serbs and Croats who converted to Islam during Ottoman times. Their ethnicity was just recently proclaimed (as Muslims by nationality in 1971, and Bosniaks since 1992) Slovenians and Macedonians are very closely related to Serbo-Croats but their language, culture and mentality is little bit different (than of Serbo-Croats) Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks are divided by three different religion, although by mentality and language they are same people.
The 10% Jews figure in Roman empire was long time ago abandoned by all serious scholars and I am really surprised that yo come out with this well known distortion. The origin of this claim was the Eusebius' Chronicon, and was recycled by probably the worst historian of Jews, Sallo Witmayer Baron. Based on Eusebius Chronicon (which claimed also that Rome had 14 million inhabitants) a little known 13th century historian concluded that there were 6,944,000 Jews in the Roman Empire out of 60 million inhabitants. This claim is today fully abandoned by all historians ..and most modern historians agree that in I century there were about 3 million Jews in Roman Empire, while the most cited historic demographer of Jewish people Sergio DellaPergola estimates that the land of Israel, was the most densely populated region of Roman empire, having 2,500 000 inhabitants prior to Roman destruction of Israel, 99% of whom were Jews
archive.iussp.org/Brazil2001/s60/S64_02_dellapergola.pdf
For the 10% claim
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora#cite_note-Bartlett-23
"The 13th-century author Bar Hebraeus gave a figure of 6,944,000 Jews in the Roman world Salo Wittmayer Baron considered the figure convincing.[22] The figure of seven million within and one million outside the Roman world in the mid-first century became widely accepted, including by Louis Feldman. However, contemporary scholars now accept that Bar Hebraeus based his figure on a census of total Roman citizens. The figure of 6,944,000 being recorded in Eusebius' Chronicon, although this number is seen by modern scholarship as huge exaggeration.[23]: 90, 94, 104-05[24] Louis Feldman, previously an active supporter of the figure, now states that he and Baron were mistaken.[25]:"
The population distance is not the measure of being one ethnicity, but very imprecise measure of admixture possibility, that could be applied only to people that historically shared same space ( f.e. Russians versus Russian Jews) The biological relatedness of Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews is based primarly on shared identical hapolgrouip composition. Atzmon and all found that "Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews share approximately 63% of genome (IBD across these Jewish groups (63% of all shared segments), which corresponds with over 70% of shared origin (Nicolas Wide estimate) The theory, that Ashkenazi Jews bought local wifes in Europe is not historic, it is based solely on one genetic study (Richards at al 2013) which was challenged by more recent study of Fernandez at al 2015, and more comprehensive, but older study of Behar and al and the study of Ferrer at al that all found huge portion of Levantine origin in mtDNA of AJ.

There is a lot of common ground between Western Jews who adhere to Jewish tradition and Israeli Jews. Not just biologically, Israeli culture is spread through Jewish and Zionist educational system to all Jewish schools in diaspora. When I spoke about this Diaspora group, I precisely used the term *those who will remain Jewish in next 50 years* so to exclude American Liberal and progressive Jews, who with 72% of intermarriage rate, are disappearing with record speed and will become extinct in next 50y.
+The Jewish population of UK increased from 46,000 in 1880 to about 250,000 in 1919, through immigration of Russian and East European Jews, not German Jews. About 80% of British Jews today have Eastern European origin.
Your question regarding why I put "Palestinians" in quotation marks sounds strange for someone who put Irgun emblem as his icon, so may I ask you what is your ethnicity, and where you live? As for the anwser, although Muslim Arabs today certainly went through ethnogenisis and self identification, their national identity, still lacks the secular element as most of non Muslim that should be "Palestinian" (virtually all Druze, Samritanians, Armenians, Circasian and a huge part of Arab Christians) do not identify with this artificial nation. More importantly, the idea that Muslim Arabs (and supposedly also non Muslim Arabs) are "Palestinian people" was invented by KGB in 1960s with the thievery of the historic name of Jewish Palestine, that was created by the League of Nation, in recognition of exclusive Jewish national rights toward the Land of Israel. Palestine is part of Jewish history, and has little to do with the people who are using this Hebrew term for invaders, as the name of their newly created nation, while due to lack of "P" in Arabic are unable even correctly to pronounce "their own name"

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me," Albert Eistein wrote in a letter in January 1954, just a year before his death. That pretty much resolves disputes about Einstein's views of religion.

Yes, there were wise Christians, but most of them would be atheists these days, with currently available common knowledge and understanding of the world.
The fact that he clarified that, "I am not an athesis", & prefered to be called agnostic is enough to prove my point.

That was earlier Einstein.
Other than that it's semantics. Of course a rational person such as Einstein cannot say he's an agnostic in a strict sense of this word. He acknowledges that even if something's probability approaches zero, it cannot be ruled out. The same way we cannot rule out that the Earth is flat, as we may all be subjects of an illusion that it's round. But the probability of these things is a different case and that's why people often prefer to refer to themselves as atheists rather than agnostics. Saying you're an agnostic is like saying "I know that I know nothings" - gods may or ma not be real. That doesn't specify that yeah, they may be real, but it's probability approaches zero.

fadeboss xd no I say to god they say that I mean Iam surprised too
Omar Faraj Then your friends are stupid. I'm an Israeli atheist Jew, and we were legally mandated (given, not taken) Palestine as a historic return to Israel, because it's our historic homeland as evidenced by archaeology (with global academic consensus agreement across the globe).
And of course because we were a homeless, defenseless people during all the genocides, massacres and oppression we suffered in the middle east & Europe, proving a historic repetition of this that doesn't end even after Haskalah movement focus on assimilating Jews into exilic life making our Jewishness invisible... as it's a historic repeat that will never stop, necessitating our self-determination to live as every other nation does in the world.
Great video and very insightful

I would love to meet with you and work with you on videos! I don't know when I'll next be in the area but I will certainly keep it in mind (I'm in the USA now). Thank you Corey!
It's interesting to see that many of these folks absolutely cannot conceive of "non belief"..."oh thats a belief in itself, you still have belief in your heart, you will discover it and change..." . What a prison.
Agreed. The narrator made is very clear that he had no beliefs at all, that he wouldn't change, and even asked about someone being 120 years old to show they really wouldn't change. Still, people insisted there was a belief in god lurking deep inside them. (I guess they are just unaware of it lol.)
Don't you just love it when someone tells you what you really believe?
Oprah had some atheists on her show and she insisted that they believed in god. Oprah may be richer than god, but she ain't too bright.
Look. Maybe they don't necessarily believe BUT even if they don't, they still have a special part of Hashem in her/him. We're a family. Even if we abandon Hashem הקדוש ברוך הוא never leaves us.
Nate It is written in the Kabbalah that G-d is the universe and everything in it, including us, so technically speaking G-d is lurking in everything
Atheism can still be described as a religion if you conflate it with "opinion" mindset whatever

Basically, if Judaism is reduced to being a family lineage then yes you can be an atheist and still be considered a Jew. But if you expand Judaism to include all the set of beliefs that, for example, you’d require a convert to Judaism to adhere to then your Jewishness should be questionable.

The Judaism is the only religion to be also nationality, People, Tradition and culture.
Religiously, A Jewish can be atheist for his own person. In the point of view of Judaism, he will remain Jewish from womb till grave.
You gotta love the couple and especially the guy in 7.19. Logical people.
Hey Corey. I really like and love your channel a lot to be honest. I'm from Jordan. Is there a chance we could get in touch?

What you believe (or claim to believe) is really important to Christianity and Islam. The fact that it is different in Judaism is really troubling only to those setting it within their own framework of values. It's quite simple really.
Revelation 3:9
“Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”

I’m not even a Jew but it makes sense. Being a Jew is before all being a Jew by blood.
But the question is that after the death of an atheist jew..would he get the same rewards from his Yahweh (like heaven etc or like they used to have all the luxuries in Moses period) if he didn't even believe at all in his yahweh in his whole life? Would yahweh like to give his heaven to his jew who never acted upon His commands rather he went against them.
Mariam Ashfaque The question of after-life is not so clear-cut as Christian & Muslim religions. Firstly, there is nothing written in the Torah about an after-life. Secondly, Talmudic ideas vary on the question of after-life. For example, in Kabbalah (mystic Judaism) the after-life is being in the journey/path to closeness to god, and in that journey you struggle and experience difficulty/pain - the more sinful you were in life, the more painful the ascent to being close to god. i.e. there is no hell in Judaism.
+interestingyoutubechannel
Yes, quite clear Mariam Ashfaque is superimposing her own religious traditions on Jews.
Heaven? Afterlife? Rewards? What a load of old tosh!
Mariam Ashfaque we arent islam, in Judaism you been judged by your dids.
Maybe start by looking outside of your religion first? Not hard to do if we have thousands of them.
interestingyoutubechannel Judaism does has a concept of hell/heaven a place named "sheol" some rabbis said about it where sinners could live 12 months or some maybe forever but the concept is not clear because mostly modern rabbis don't talk about it

Isaac Asimov was an atheist, but I don’t think you would want to suggest to him he wasn’t a Jew.
This confusion is just Unreal. Unbelievable.
M. Shah
Wheres the confusion? I thought it was pretty straight-forward.
What confusion?
Pretty unbelievable? Your right and it makes NO SENSE but for some weird reason, we're still alive. :)
Anyone who does not believe in this, please read the genesis and return back to this video.
@SarrumSaBabilim if you wanna bet that we know everything and are greater than the omni then do so, however, I will not.
Jewish by the mother is False, made up by the Ashkenazim i believe long ago.
Really you are what your Father Is,
That is in the bible
you correct to claim according to Bible the lineage decided by paternal side. you incorrect to claim by the mother side made up by Ashkenazim. Talmudic period predates Ashkenazim/Mizrachi divisions.
So dumb
u don't have a place to say this u don't even read the bible u don't study about us how u can spared this lie and believe In it I'm Jewish from Maroco and we have the same rule about it if your mom is a jew u are a jew so stfu

You’re using the Bible to prove something to atheists??? 🤔
@@SteveCherches how are you implying he speaks to the atheists in this comment section?
That's why the Jews are not the chosen people. They have lost touch with revelation
Mustafa Russell
Maybe we’re chosen because we can think for ourselves.
@@SteveCherches which is exactly what misguidance involves. The famous watchwords of the Satanists, for example: 'Do as thou wilt'.... in other words, ignore God's commands

It’s sad when a religion doesn’t allow you to think. Then again, that’s how they get ya.

The last lady is right. Atheism is a belief system that can be just as strong as any religion. However, someone who is irreligious or agnostic may not have a belief system.
atheism literally means irreligious, which means having NO BELIEF in a god .. it's not antitheism... which is the BELIEF there is no god. Agnosticism is just a bad term.
