[quote=Anonymous][i]You need to be aware that many Jewish people are not comfortable with having  non-Jewish symbols -such as as Christmas trees- in the house. You as a non-Jew, might be open to adopting And Jewish people are not open and accepting of others in that way. Two people with different backgrounds could get married and share their "culture" but Jewish people can not. [/i]

Some do. I (an in married Jew) do not necessarily think its a great idea, but clearly some people do it.

[i]They feel they are the "chosen" ones.[/i]

It says so in the bible.  Christianity decided at some point that "chosen Israel" meant the Church, not the Jewish people, but you can hardly fault Jews for not adopting that POV.  Note of course what we are chosen for is merely to follow the laws of the Torah, nothing else.  Note also that some Reform Jews, and Reconstructionists in general do not believe in the doctrine of chosenness.

[i]They will always help out a Jewish person before a non Jew. [/i]

Right now I think its important that we help out muslims, and hispanic immigrants.   Not all Jews share my view on that, but quite a bunch  do.

[i]If you question this they will call you anti-Semetic.  [/i][/quote]
