A little Jewish Satire!
I thought it was weird and funny and I am Jewish!

In a book called What is a Jew by rabbi Morris N. Kertzer, is this passage, where a Jew says to a Japanese he's met, "We are Jews, members of the Jewish faith."
His Japanese friend was puzzled; he was a shintoist, but he had read parts of the Christian New Testament and of the book of Genesis up to the Exodus.
"But what is a Jew?, the Japanese asked. Then the Jew said, "Do you remember ever reading or hearing about Joshua and the Israelites and Abraham and Moses?"
The Japanese vaguely remembered those stories, but then said with surprise, "You mean those people are still around?"
