Jewish Tenacity
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the longevity of the Jews as a distinct group of people. If anything about the number or consequence of the Jews should have changed in the more than 100 years since Mark Twain mused about their great longevity, it is that the Jew "should" be much more diminished in stature and prosperity than even in the closing years of the 19th century. Of course we know such not to be the case, despite facts of 20th century history. The paper discusses the Jews' adherence to ancient rules and faithful observance of tradition as contributing to Jews' continued tenacity. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
