ARTICLES RELATED TO Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness in the Hebrew Bible | | | |  Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia II - Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness in the Hebrew BibleAccording to the Hebrew Bible, Israel's character as the chosen people is conditioned by obedience to God's commandments.

| | | | Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia II - Jews as a chosen people - Charges of racism Many books and websites promote the idea that Judaism is inherently racist. Hundreds of websites exist run by neo-Nazis, White supremacy advocates, Christian Identity adherents, and radical Islamist groups offer what they claim are authoritative quotes from rabbinic literature, all attempting to prove that Jews hate non-Jews and perceive them as non-human.
These books and websites generally attempt to prove their thesis through two techniques, (a) outright fabrication of quotes, and (b) quote-mining. Quote-mining is the deliberate sif ...

| | | | Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness in the Hebrew Bible: Encyclopedia II - Jews as a chosen people - Chosenness as superiority In early medieval Europe, during a time of intense persecution of Jews, the idea developed that chosenness meant that God loves Jews more than other human beings, or that Jews were in some way inherently superior to non-Jews. This philosophy was first widely taught by Yehuda Halevi in his Kuzari.
A mystical version of this idea exists in parts of the Zohar, one of the primary works of Kabbalah, esoteric Jewish mysticism. The Zohar comments on the Biblical verse which states "Let the waters teem with swarms of creatures that hav ...

Although collectively this choice was made freely, religious Jews believe that it created individual obligation for the descendants of the Israelites.
