Want to know what Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East really think about the conflict? Ask a question and I will get answers.
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.

Jews are an ethnicity too
If you have jewish dna and is an atheist then you are Jew
Though some may say different
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
hoda ahmad Their is no such thing as Jewish dna. So many genitic scientific studies proved that majority of Jews do not share a common ancestor.
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
"Though some may say different"
What do you think Abraham cared about the most, Judaism, or Jewish Genetics?
The real issue is not Judaism, or Jewishness, it is Zionism.
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."
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.
@@Tibbs142 you obviously have no inkling what you're talking about. Every single living human judges.
So if the woman isn't a jew you're fkd? How convenient.
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 .
@@reznof2011 exactly what it is. Hope
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."
was thinking the same
The latter is consistent at least.
No he just stay Jewish
How do you know . . . an empty hypothesis where you base your conclusion on . . . nothing factual is a waste of time
Ask the question that would be interesting
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.
Alex On The Block
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.
Suddenly, they are no longer fellow countryman, they are Jews.
0:07 two genuinely decent people: articulate, warm and with a sense of humour.
It's like asking if an arab will be arab if he's an atheist
Can I Jew be an atheist? Ha, ever been to Brooklyn? Lol
I am a Jew and I live in Brooklyn.
Once a Jew ALWAYS. A. Jew.
No exceptions!

No True atheist says he's a Jew. Even if he's from a Jewish family.
My favorite part about these videos are the captions on top of the subtitles. It's so fun
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?
In india, this behavior is called " doglnapan "
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.

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
As my Father a NYPD Cop said from experience dealing with people at death's door ,"Everyone calls out to their Mother and to God".
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.
Those two pretty girls really nail it the point. Such brilliant human beings.
They are the only ones that seem to understand.
Seems like females are more atheist in Israel.
Great video and very insightful
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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?!
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.
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!
The impact of a podcast interview could be fucking huge
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.
Thank you
Very interesting.
Thank you. Such a beautiful and informative channel. You are doing Gds work! One learns so much more from the common person on the street than listening to politicians.
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..
"Every Jew believes there is something small...a small part of his heart believes."
Assertions without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
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.
@@schnitzelberry 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.
God, i wish i could learn hebrew but its soooo damn hard.
why is it hard?
just curious
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.
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
in another word : God chose us and gave us the land but we dont believe they is a god
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. 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.

You misunderstood everything
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.

What about the word Ivrit (or Hivrit; not sure). I think it's used in Hebrew, but what does it differ from Iudim at?
being a jew is more traditions and ethnicity for them not just religion
They were called Jews because they came from the kingdom of Judah,even if they don't follow judaism they're still jews.
True!
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.
you will be also called jew
Once you convert you are 100% jewish.

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

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 RUclips 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 :)

It depends if you mean ethnicity or religion.
We mean nation AND religion. Not OR
Judaism is not just a religion... its the people and a nation.
What was the name of the religion during King Davids and King Solomons reign? Things would be more clearer if someone can clarify that.
Judaism and christian not exist yet that time.Then you should guess and find who those prophet worship.
Awesome work!
Everytime I see 1 of ur videos, the reality about political propaganda entities, religious doctrine vs. real humans amaze me. So called religious and political leaders polarize the commom man to establish and keep their reign but we HUMANS don't really hate eachother ...seperation is a myth... DON'T follow anything that doesn't promote general wellbeing... life over death, health over sickness, suffiecient recources over poverty and hunger. Peace & Love ❤ to ALL HUMANS in ALL LANGUAGES.

Tell that to the young kids living in Syria or Somalia.
Having a Jewish mother was made up by the Ashkenazim.
In bible it’s based on your father which makes you an Israelite
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)
very nice
So, does jew mean Giudea? and is jewish the religion name? have I hit the point?

Funny thing was, before professing Jesus, Zvi was pretty agnostic....and since he was surviving the holocaust, it makes sense that he didn't really do anything related to the Jewish faith during that time. Thank you for putting this together though! I really have enjoyed watching many of your clips, It's exciting for me when I get to hear from real people about the other side of the world :)

"Yeah; why does it even matter?"
- I'm in loved.
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.
joe sarb
Why does that matter?
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!
Well, same with my mom, for her I'm a Christian because I was baptized. When I say that I'm Atheist she says that it's impossible no believe at least a little and that since I'm born Christian I'll always be Christian! (I'm French)
the argumentative interviewed are so refreshing to me. I have not experienced this nature with other cultures/ethnicities, especially as it has such similarity to my own nature. Too bad I cannot convert to Judaism & be an atheist.
It makes it hard on things like for religion do I put atheist or jewish?
@@zurviver_3747 Whatever you feel is right
There is a non-theistic faction: "Humanistic Judaism" , majority of their members are either Atheist or Agnostic

Judaism is just the beginnings of the teaching of Christianity, and then at best, at worst, some scum in general turned the whole thing into Satanism
you want to stagnate in one place and serve the devil, for what ??? for the sake of becoming a Jew ??
but who needs it - everyone should carry their own purpose in life.
Earlier, before the birth of Jesus Christ, Israel was so joined, but that was 2000 years ago !!!
now it is real to join good Israel and to the real God you need to become a Christian
Israel is now Christians in spirit
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".
this isn’t complicated. jewish is an ethnicity as well as a religion.
Can you join an ethnic group?
I still do not understand. Is a jew an religion or a nation? Because the only nation i know that camed from jacob, that was the childeren of israel or bani israel. The term jew didnt exist at that time. Im confused.
jew is people as you call "bani israel" and jew is also religion. so you can convert to judaism you are a jew because of the religion, and there are jews by birth. so its both religion and people.
@@thehonesttruth415 and who are now the bani israel then?
@לוי ישראל im wondering if the tribe childeren of Israël are still excisting. I mean before juda. If im not wrong juda camed after the 12 tribe.
@לוי ישראל thanx for the lesson bro. Appreciate it
4:03 - is it weird that I find that beautiful..?
*"I believe that you believe in God"*
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....

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? 😜)
Dear Corey,
ask the people if a convert Jew, which is not believe in Judaism anymore, is also a Jew like someone which is born?
That´s would be interesting to know
Great question actually. Heard about the case when convert was visited by religious person from rabbanut who went to check how integration goes and that convert got shit on official level because he wasnt living even remotely religious life less than a year after convertion (no separation of milk and meat in the kitchen whatsoever and i guess some pork). Also there was a girl who made giyur, and right after the final ritual when she got "jew sertificate" she posted on facebook something like "yay just fooled those idiots". Her teacher saw it, sent a letter to rabbanut and her "sertificate" war nulled.
Once you're in you're in there's no going back. If you made it through the conversion process according to a religious court you are considered to have a jewish soul and will be a jew for all your life. Even if you stop following you will still be considered a jew. I can't uphold if this is true or not but they say that every convert has some jewish blood in his lineage somewhere which yearned to come back to it's people and that's what caused the person to go on that path and convert.
Maria I hope you ignore the other two commenters, since they are talking out of their asses. The answer to your question is it depends, most likely no, if a convert Jew became an atheist he would stop being Jewish since for him being Jewish is only about religion.
I'm really trying to understand how a jew can be black white indian asian or spanish. How are all these people related? So what is their lineage? So an Ethopian Jew and an ashkenazi jew descend from the same people? Is there any evidence to support this?
Jews are Jews. Where they were exiled to doesn’t matter. If a Jew is exiled to Japan and has a child with Japanese woman it is natural for the child to look Japanese
Disbeliif is a blelive?If i say i dont know if theres a big foot and say probably no....thats a belief?really
this doesn't apply to everything obviously. But if we're talking about a divine entity then yes : you believe there is a God or you believe there is no God. As an atheist you might see your view as a fact, but so does the other party. But in the end none can come back from the dead to testify, so yeah..belief.
Since you've never seen proof of bigfoot's existence, you don't believe it exists. Fair enough and very reasonable.
But how can you know for sure that it doesn't exist? You can't.
So if you say you're sure that bigfoot doesn't exist, that's a belief.
@@Gideon01 if you say that you’re sure bigfoot doesnt exist, that is knowledge not belief.
@@justonetime6179 No, it's not. You can only be sure that something exists, if you've witnessed it. That is knowledge. However, you can never be sure that something does not exist. You can only assume it doesn't. There's a difference between assuming and knowing.
@@Gideon01 well then you can say that about anything…. How can you be sure that Harry Potter or the flying spaghetti don’t exist? You can only assume it.
If somebody says they “are sure”, it is about knowledge not belief. You might disagree with them, but that is your disbelief on their claim to knowledge.
2:50 Beautifull boy if he looses the beard and the schmolls
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.

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. :)
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.

“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.”

Very good question.looking forward to what jews will say
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
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

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.
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.
so the real question could be "could israel be GOD chosen people if they deny GOD?"🐒
Bebo Adel nazis are bad with logic haa..
Bebo Adel finally someone who is not blind
Its in their DNA . Jews are jews Even in the moon
Bebo Adel No the Jews don't deny God.But they even don't accept Jesus as Messiah.Not believing in Jesus is not the same as not believing God.
maybe not in the moon, but in Jewpiter :-)
DUDE you absolutely MUST go on the Joe Rogan Podcast. PLEASE!
Hi.mr Corey just to correct u there no Muslim atheist whether Muslim or not
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? 🤣🤔

The hypocrisy in saying in an Atheist and there is no god, But god gave this Land to us...
So they believe that God gave them the land of Palestine, but they don't believe in God. Mental gymnastics.
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.
Yes.
People always ask, why do you care as an atheist, about what others believe? Because, i tell them as an athiest, we are not going door to door and telling people how should they think; eat, love, and learn about my life. Athiest are not asking for my money on television, and then, telling me I will go to hell if I don't believe in atheism. There is no conundrum, there is only the truth. The truth is there is no credible, empirical and testable truth to the existence of your magical sky daddy in the clouds. Your faith is the worst trait a thinking human being can have. It requires no evidence, just followers and sheeps who have been indoctrinated by their parents and other sheeps to believe in anything and everything without proof. After that brainwashing is done, they are susceptible to any lies and false propaganda. How many believe in ghost, demons, witches and humans with telekinesis? How many believe in Humans with psychic powers that can talk to the dead and read your future? Magical beings like Satan and demons, we create in our minds to torture our human counterparts. All of these con artists religious leaders like the Pope, priest and reverends making a profit on the gullibility of humans, who don't want evidence for their outrageous beliefs. You should thank the Atheist, the skeptics, the person who ask questions and buck the system of brainwashing. The leading scientist of the world are athiest. Religion of all kind hinders progress, suppress intelligence and forge war against humanity for a fairytale god. Case in point: the Islamic and Jewish conflicts permutated by a made up covenant with a mythology god. One claim a land and superiority over others by a fairytale book. If you adhere to this crap; you are an apologist and a fraud.
What about converts that don't practice? Or what about someone that defines himself as a jew because the father is jewish but not the mother, but is atheist at the same time ?
he is jew no matter what you have to morals (the ten commandments you have to do
What if someone's family history is lost, and this person doesn't know for a fact if they are a Jew, but they are; is this person a Jew?
