[edit] Removed
I removed the following phrase: Some people describe themselves as jews more in the sense of their hebrew ethnicity. for several reasons. IMHO, simply linking Jew is much better. If there are objections, I can explain. ←Humus sapiens←ну? 10:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish faith and secular Jews
I don't entirely understand the intro to this category. In one line, it says the category includes members of the Jewish faith, and in small print it says secular Jews are included. Have I misunderstood the meaning of the word "secular"? Does this distinction not encompass Jews who profess no faith of any kind? Woody Allen, for example, is an atheist, yet if he were a Wikipedian, he could justifiably call himself a Jewish Wikipedian. He could not call himself a member of the Jewish faith, i.e. a believer in Judaism, yet this category would label him as such. Am I wrong? If so, please correct my error. I appreciate that it would be rather unwieldy to create separate categories, but perhaps we should at least qualify that "faith" statement to make it clear that Jewish identity is not a purely religious distinction like, say, Islam or Buddhism.

[edit] God's
Even, though I'm a Christian I say Jews are God's chosen people (that wasn't sarchasm!)--Angel David 01:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
