PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF JUDAISDM

Autumn 2007
Translated from french by John de Nugent
Judaism is not merely a .“religion,.” as many Jews are overt atheists or agnostics,
and they do not consider themselves less Jewish for all that. Jewry is
also not a race even if it is true that a .“trained eye,.” most of the time, can recognize a Jewish appearance,
that is to say, a characteristic pattern which is
the result of their strict observance of endogamy for centuries.
Jews see themselves as the .“chosen ones.” of God, and marriage outside the community
is strictly frowned upon.
