Jewish conservatives disagreed; for them, the Greeks were simply idolaters. — Simon Sebag-Montefiore

Being "Jewish" is way stronger culturally than it is religiously. — Gene Weingarten
Jews are no longer pressed and obliged to fight, hide or deny their Jewishness. What for? No one actually requires today to abandon the idiosyncrasy of some other culture or ethnic tradition.

I make a difference between genocide and Holocaust. Holocaust was mainly Jewish, that was the only people, to the last Jew, sentenced to die for one reason, for being Jewish, that's all. Genocide is something else. Genocide has been actually codified by the United Nations. It's the intent of killing, the intent of killing people, a community in this culture so forth, but no other people has been really interested. — Elie Wiesel

Kraft

money. — Sayings
