> i'll make a follow up post soon about the history of it and how it is not jewish at all before the state of israel the jewish world could mostly be devided into two groups european ashkenazim and jews in muslim countries, we asheknazim lived in europe more than a thousand years 99% of us observing judiasm self segrafateing into ghettos the norm was for us to have a degree of local autonomy and so we lived isolated under the rule of our rabbis, then came napolean who wanted to asimilate us for some reason forcefully and against our wishes he made us leave the ghetto and we now had to learn non jewish things, so the percentage of religouse jews lessoned and even in the religouse comunities things became less strict, hundred years or so later mid 1800s most european jews are still orthodox but in western europe a large non religon population existed from this came the reform heresy, by the 1930s most of europe's jews were still religouse but germany in particular had a majority of reformist something like 98% of jews their were reform, then ww2 happend and spread to eastern europe were most of us lived after it ended we mass migrated mostly to usa and israel in america most of us became reformist and in israel we became self avoud atheist, so for the first time ever you had only a small minority of european jewry being observent then the arab jews were still mostly religouse then they mass migrated to israel and were turned secular here
