  1. Well, this community has survived thousands of years ‘in exile’. One reason was that they claim that being Jewish is both a religion and a race. Therefore if you are not religious you still belong to the Jewish ‘race’. Therefore there is a chance that future generations will revert back to being Jewish by race and religion.

    In any case? Is there a lesson here for other minorities?
