Read the following quote:
"With all that taken into consideration, I take great pride in being ethnically Jewish. First and foremost, I am an American, a citizen and product of the United States of America, late 20th Century edition,  1955 model year..... one which came with the same standard features, but many more options than the models of 20 years and more before. An American, but Jewish. My allegiance to nation comes before everything. I will never abandon or emigrate, yet I am an ardent Zionist. Would I send money to plant a tree in Israel. No. Would I send money to arm Israelis so they can defend themselves? In a New York minute. "


How do you classify your own Judaism? Are you a religious, cultural, or ethnical Jew?
