We often have a stereotyped impression of Jews, thinking that they are mostly leaders in various fields.

This view fails to pay attention to the diversity and richness within the Jewish community. It is like looking at a mountain in the fog. You can only make out the outline of the mountain, but cannot appreciate its full picture.

Now, we really need to have a new and in-depth understanding of the Jews. Such an understanding is crucial to grasp the role they play and the influence they have in societies of various countries.

Many Chinese people think that Jews are successful people such as great scholars.

But this view is very one-sided.

Many Jews worked in a variety of ordinary jobs, were distributed at all levels of society, and were not as well known as Marx.

In every country, only a handful of Jews make their mark in prestigious professions.

In many small towns in Europe, many Jews were involved in small-scale businesses and handicrafts. They lived an ordinary life, which was very different from the dazzling image that people usually imagined.

The formation of this view stems from many factors such as the widespread spread of history and culture, but now we need to correct it.

This narrow view is exacerbated by the publicity of Jewish celebrity images in different cultural contexts.

The United States frequently depicts Jewish achievements in cultural productions, and the influence of this image continues to grow through the widespread dissemination of films and books.

In many other countries, there is a lack of representation of the actual lives of ordinary Jewish people.

When people lack in-depth understanding of a group, this one-sided view often becomes common public perception.

In some countries such as the United States, Jews have been given a relatively open environment for a long time.

Since the founding of the United States, with the gradual improvement of concepts such as democracy and freedom, Jews have been able to enjoy equal rights and opportunities in this land.

They integrate into mainstream society and gradually gain a foothold in economic, cultural, political and other fields.

Many Jewish families have settled in the United States and have thrived for several generations. They actively participated in various construction undertakings in the United States, and many of them have grown into the backbone of local society.

In the financial world, certain Jewish families have become key forces in controlling capital, and their political participation continues to grow.

In some countries in the Middle East, the road to equal rights for Jews is extremely difficult.

Over the long history, anti-Semitic sentiment has become increasingly strong in some countries, hindering the development of Jews there, and sometimes even basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

In Middle Eastern countries like Iran, the Jewish community can coexist peacefully and develop together with other local ethnic groups. They have their own places of religious customs and can also participate in some social construction activities.

In Israel we see a rich variety of Jewish types.

Dati Jews, known as "modern Orthodox" Jews, are more integrated into Israeli society than other Jews.

They enthusiastically signed up to join the army and were enthusiastic about seizing the West Bank and Golan. This enthusiasm revealed strong religious fanaticism.

Every year, many Dati Jewish youths choose to join the army and join the disputed areas to open up territories and settle down.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews adhere to extremely conservative religious beliefs and strictly abide by Jewish rules in all aspects of daily life and participation in social affairs.

In addition to these two categories, there are ordinary (traditional) Jews in Israeli society.

Many Jews are civilians who are moderate in their religious beliefs, but politically many lean toward the far right or the right.

They play a role in ensuring the basic operations of society in daily life, such as participating in business transactions, city construction and other activities.

Most Jews in Israel are very religious.

In Israeli cities, the streets are lined with various religious rituals, especially during religious festivals. Local residents generally observe Jewish rules.

In contrast, American Jews are mostly secular and de-religious.

In major cities in the United States, you can only feel the strong Jewish religious atmosphere in specific Jewish neighborhoods and during specific festivals.

Many American Jews have integrated into the daily lives of ordinary white Americans, and their emphasis on religious beliefs has significantly decreased.

The reason for this difference has a lot to do with the cultural and social environments of the two countries.

Israel is dominated by Jews, and Judaism forms the core foundation of the country's national spiritual culture.

The United States is a melting pot of multiple races and religions. In such an environment, Jews have to become more secular in order to gain a foothold in social competition.

In terms of political stance, among Israeli Jews, except for those who are ultra-Orthodox, most other Jews lean to the right, and some even lean to the far right.

Some Jews regard Israel as the country of the Jews, and they propose that Arabs should be expelled or eliminated. This extreme view has been revealed among certain political factions in Israel and has had a negative impact on the international community.

However, some Jews hold different views on this. They advocate peaceful coexistence and firmly believe that it is not impossible for all ethnic groups to live harmoniously in the land of Israel.

At the cultural level, Israeli Jews attach great importance to tradition, and they have great respect for the classic teachings and traditional etiquette of Judaism.

In terms of social values, many Jews value the stability and progress of the State of Israel and are committed to maintaining certain social moral principles stipulated by Judaism.

Our past one-sided understanding of Jews has affected our perception of the Jewish community as a whole.

In the new era, the deepening of cultural exchanges requires us to re-examine the Jewish community.

From the perspective of international relations, a correct understanding of the Jewish community can help change the way countries interact with each other.

If the Jews are regarded as a successful and outstanding whole, but the differences between them are ignored, then there may be deviations in understanding when dealing with many matters such as diplomacy and cultural exchanges.

From the perspective of sociocultural research, if we blindly use outdated concepts to examine Jewish cultural expressions and social affairs, it will be difficult for us to truly penetrate the interior of Jewish society and explore its deep cultural connotation and operating mechanism.

This helps us eliminate some outdated views and examine various nations and civilizations from a more objective and comprehensive perspective.

Do you think that by re-understanding the Jews, we can gain new insights into other peoples?
