Thousands of years ago we stood atop a mountain and accepted the Torah.  This wasn’t an intellectual commitment that we could get out of with expensive lawyers.  This was a metaphysical transformation that our very bodies underwent that makes us Jews not just think differently but live an entirely different existence.  Hitler couldn’t have been more right when he said “Judaism isn’t a religion it’s a race.”   True, we are a race.  The holiest one on the face of the Earth.
