Thank you very much! That was a very lucid and understandable explanation. I think you conclusions are right too. I do not know too many Jews. One, the school superintendent, lived right next door. He became unpopular with the School Board and was ousted from his job but the settlement was so generous he bought a Cadillac and drove it around town just to rub it in the School Board's face. I did not even know he was Jewish until I saw a Menorah in his house when I went over to visit. One day in Long Branch New Jersey my sister and her husband and I were just walking down the street when an old man waved us over. "I want to show you something," he said. We went in his old townhouse and he had all the walls covered with Holocaust photographs and memorabilia. It was very impressive, and I would not doubt that his entire collection wound up in the Holocaust Museum. Other Jews that I met casually in upstate New York made certain they told me about their Jewishness and how Jews were distinguished by their talents and abilities, which enabled them to excel in the arts, science, law, theater, and so forth. All in all, my contact with Jews suggests that their political views are more ensconced than their religious views, and most are secular.
