>>919168>So what exactly is Israel even like in day to day life?Depends on where you go, but in general it's not that different from Europe or America as far as peoples' daily lives go, unless you're part of the ultra-orthodox minority.
>what exactly is it that sets you guys apart from the rest of us and puts Jews in those positions of power?I don't know for sure. Probably the IQ average, a culture that heavily stresses success and excellence, and if you're dealing with religious Jews, there's probably quite a bit of nepotism.
>I thought the Kaballah was a required book for Jewish peopleOnly if you're heavily orthodox, and even then I think it's only taught once you complete the Talmud. You'll have to ask an orthodox Jew for exact details.
