'I met a Jew who had grown up in a yeshiva and knew large sections of the Talmud by heart. I met a Jew who was an atheist. I met a Jew who owned a large business and I met a Jew who was an ardent communist.' 'So what's so strange?' the friend asks. 'America is a big country and millions of Jews live there.' 'You don't understand.' the man answers. 'It was the same Jew.' Judaism is not simply a series of beliefs. It is a practice and a way of life. 'What do Jews Believe?' explores the variety of ways Jews live their lives: religious and secular. Ashkenazi and Sephardi. Jews in Israel and Jews who live in the Diaspora.
