[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=AnonymousWhat is a "faith" to you can be a "tradition" to others just as a hamburger can be a special treat to one person, an everyday meal to another or a piece of unappetizing ground up dead animal flesh to another. There is not one right way to view religions or to practice them. [/quote] There are secular Jews who see Jewishness as a tradition. However almost all synagogues (and I think most independent minyans) see it as a tradition tied to faith. Even Mordechai Kaplan, the most important 20th century questioner of the view of Judaism as "only" a religion, called it instead a religious civilization - our relationship to G-d and Torah is still at the heart of it. The most likely place to find Jews who live Judaism as a tradition, and who do are lukewarm or hostile to it as a faith, is in Israel. However most of those folks won't be particularly enthusiastic about Christianity ;) [/quote]
