Jews

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

This is a Metaweb page for Jews.

Disclaimer

Being Jewish can be a matter of religion, ethnicity, and culture. If you're interested, I'd recommend Judaism rather than reading this page. This is a discussion as it relates to the Baroque Cycle & Cryptonomicon. Isaac Newton had some interesting ideas on Solomon.
