Judaism

Jews come from all ethnic backgrounds.
The word Jew is used in a wide number of ways,

• a follower of the Jewish faith
• a child of a Jewish mother
• someone with Jewish decent

The Amsterdam philosopher Ido Abram says there are five aspects that in some way affect the life of every Jew.
These are: religion and tradition, the tie with Israel and Zionism, war persecution and survival, personal history and the exchange between different Jewish cultures.
