Cultural Judaism refers to the aspects of Jewish identity that are not strictly religious but are tied to Jewish history, traditions, and customs. It encompasses the shared experiences, values, and practices of the Jewish people, such as language, literature, and art. Many individuals identify as culturally Jewish while not necessarily observing religious laws or beliefs. This form of Judaism often emphasizes community, heritage, and the importance of Jewish history, including events like the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. Cultural Jews may celebrate traditional holidays, enjoy Jewish cuisine, and participate in cultural events, fostering a sense of belonging and identity.
