Judaism has both an ethnic and universalizing dimension. Ethnic Jews trace their descent from the ancient Hebrew people of the Middle East, and they typically identify as members of the Jewish people, even if they do not practice Judaism. Universalizing Jews may have no familial connection to the Jewish people, but they identify with the culture and values of Judaism.<\/p>\n

There is no universal answer to this question as it depends on individual interpretation. Some people may consider Judaism to be an ethnic religion because it is passed down through family lines and is closely associated with Jewish cultural traditions. Others may view it as a universalizing religion because it welcomes converts and has a universal message of justice and peace.<\/p>\n

Is Judaism ethnic or universal? <\/h2>\n

Judaism is one of the world’s oldest religions, and is considered both a monotheistic religion (believing in one God) and an ethnic religion (with a strong sense of identity and community). The Jewish people have a long and rich history, and their religion has played a significant role in shaping both Western and Eastern cultures.<\/p>\n

Each of the three major religions has a number of fundamental divisions, known as branches. Christianity, for example, is divided into the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant branches. Islam is divided into the Sunni and Shia branches. And Buddhism is divided into the Theravada and Mahayana branches.<\/p>\n
