The historian raymond scheindlin was quoted as saying that "the jewish people and the jewish religion are not at all the same thing, certainly not in modern times." what implications does this statement have for understanding jewish culture and judaism, as well as jewish music? by extension, what questions and issues does it raise in relation to the identities, cultures, and music of peoples who practice other religious faiths: christianity, islam, hinduism, or buddhism?

In this passage, the historian tells us that in modern times, the Jewish people and the Jewish religion should not be equated. What this means is that not all people who identify as Jewish also follow the religion. Being Jewish is also understood as a cultural and ethnic identity, related to the music, habits, way of thinking and way of living of the Jewish people.

It is unclear to what extent this can be applied to other religions. In some cases, such as Islam, the culture and the way of living of the people is closely related to their religion. Therefore, Muslim culture is often used as an equivalent of Middle Eastern culture. In other cases, such as Christianity, a religion is followed by so many different people, the cultural traits are not as significant. Although this more debatable in the case of smaller groups of people (such as Catholic Irish, American evangelists, etc.).

i think the answer is   b.
