Hi, Martin...thanks for the link. Wow. There's a lot of information on that website. I have read enough of it in a few minutes here to be able to say that if I were Jewish, I would most likely be drawn toward the Reform wing of Judaism, as I share many of its basic ideals and attitudes. It seems to be the most liberal and inclusive version of the Jewish faith.

It would do anyone who carries prejudice against Jews a whole lot of good to take some time and read that information and the history on that site, and wake up to the fact that Jews are just as well-intentioned and idealistic as anyone else.

I think the biggest reason for prejudice in this world is just sheer ignorance (combined with fear that's been picked up from other people, like one's parents or peer group).

I will continue reading the material as time allows, and hopefully gain a greater sense of brotherhood with a community I don't really know very well at this point.
