Judaism and Other Faiths

The requirements and transcendent possibilities of Jewish law are the bases of Jewish distinctness.

According to some interpreters, the Jews chose to be chosen.

While some modern Jews have rejected the notion of chosenness altogether, others have reinterpreted it as an ethical mission or a national spirit.

According to Reconstructionism's founder, the idea of chosenness divides peoples from each other and should be rejected, not reinterpreted.
