Out-of-the-box learning for a century seeking clarifications
Judaism is what Jews learn through their experiences .
Thousands of years of the Jewish people’s experiences aren’t wasted or forgotten. Jews have a mechanism to make good use of them: learning from them.
Learning has never been for curiosity’s sake. It has always been, and it is applied today to manage and steer human lives, as individuals, and as a people.

Sectarianism has been a constant feature of Jewish religion responsible for different developments.
Modern Jewish sectarianism, little understood, plays a significant role in Judaism’s present dynamics and most importantly, its future.
The Jews have been defined by scholars in many different ways- as a nation, a race, a religion, an ethnicity-and polling suggests that Jews themselves differ in how they would define themselves, some emphasizing their religious observance, others indicating their parentage, still other defining Jewishness as a set of cultural characteristics.
Throughout the history of the religion of the Jewish people, a number of diverse and sometimes opposing ideas about God have emerged, not all of which are compatible.
