13. What does “Jewish” mean? • An ETHNICITY: • People of Jewish ethnicity are descended from immigrants from the Middle East, and share a genetic heritage. In this way, “Jewish” can be used in the same way that “Latino,” “Black,” or “White” is. • A RELIGION: • Judaism is a monotheistic religion that was the basis for Christianity. Not all ETHNIC Jews practice the RELIGION. Not all RELIGIOUSLY Jewish people are ETHNIC Jews.

Roman Empire destroys Jewish kingdoms, Jews are spread around Europe, N. Africa, and Middle East • Called the “Diaspora” • In Europe, Jews often become segregated minorities in majority-Christian cities

15. Christian Anti-Semitism • Christianity was not Anti-Jewish originally • Original Christians were Jews! • Gospels (original books of Christianity) have no criticism of Jews • Eventually, Christian leaders began to teach that Jews were bad, should be blamed for Jesus’ execution • Debate about this for Christians today
