List of Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (431 words)
Rabbinic law defines a Jew as either a convert or a person with a Jewish mother, where the first Jews are defined to be those who entered the covenant at Mount Sinai, as described in the Biblical narrative, even though the person may be non-practicing and may not acknowledge himself or herself as a Jew.
This list takes the widest view to include most individuals who might be considered Jewish, but attempts to note such issues in order that more restrictive definitions may be applied by the reader, based on their own opinions or interpretations of the issue.
List of Jewish Fellows of the Royal Society
Secular Jewish culture - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (1655 words)
In recent centuries, Jews in Europe and the Americas have traditionally tended towards the political left, and played key roles in the birth of the labor movement as well as socialism.
The strong representation of Jews in science and academia is represented in the fact that at least 167 Jews and persons of half-Jewish ancestry have been awarded the Nobel Prize, accounting for 22% of all individual recipients worldwide between 1901 and 2004.
For example, ethnic Jews formed an enormous proportion of the literary and artistic life of Vienna, Austria at the end of the 19th century, or of New York City 50 years later (and Los Angeles in the mid-late 20th century), and for the most part these were not particularly religious people.
