[T.M.]

Personally, I would have a tough time deciding between the US and Israel. There are many Jews who would say Israel without a doubt, and there are also many who would say America without a doubt. You’d be surprised who fits into each category. There are a large number of Hasidic (ultra-Orthodox, the ones you see in black hats and suits) Jews who are anti-Zionist, or against Israel completely. There is also a large group of secular Jews who are culturally Jewish and are Zionists or very pro-Israel. Judaism is considered by many (Jews and Gentiles alike) to be an ethnicity. It can be categorized as a religion, an ethnicity, a nationality, a culture, and even a philosophy. Judaism is usually a different combination of these categories for each Jew.

Im Jewish, and I’m certainly not offended when people say ‘Merry Christmas’ or ‘Happy Easter.’ I usually smile back, to show them that I appreciate the sentiment. But every now and then I’ll reply, ‘Happy Hannukah,’ and laugh, to put them at ease. I’ve gotten a lot fewer of those kind of questions since I started wearing a Jewish star around my neck, and even less than that once I started wearing a kipah (the little cap that a lot of jews wear).
