Some do. But a large proportion have replaced God with the socialist state. And that means not loving America for those folks.
Jexit. Maybe Kanye can design their logo.

Many have a social worker mindset for whatever reason.
Because they are libs first and just use the Jewish part to justify bitching at everything. Israel is the place were you find real Jews.
The book To Heal the World? How the Jewish Left Corrupts Judaism and Endangers Israel by Jonathan Neuman gives a good understanding of why many so called liberal Jews do what they do politcially and believe it is religion also.
Here’s the synopsis of the book which outlines the lost Jews (my words) in today’s democratic party.
A devastating critique of the presumed theological basis of the Jewish social justice movement;the concept of healing the world.
What is tikkun olam? This obscure Hebrew phrase means literally healing the world, and according to Jonathan Neumann, it is the master concept that rests at the core of Jewish left wing activism and its agenda of transformative change. Believers in this notion claim that the Bible asks for more than piety and moral behavior; Jews must also endeavor to make the world a better place.
In a remarkably short time, this seemingly benign and wholesome notion has permeated Jewish teaching, preaching, scholarship and political engagement. There is no corner of modern Jewish life that has not been touched by it. This idea has led to overwhelming Jewish participation in the social justice movement, as such actions are believed to be biblically mandated.
There’s only one problem: the Bible says no such thing.
In this lively theological polemic, Neumann shows how tikkun olam, an invention of the Jewish left, has diluted millennia of Jewish practice and belief into a vague feel-good religion of social justice. Neumann uses religious and political history to debunk this pernicious idea, and shows how the Bible was twisted by Jewish liberals to support a radical left-wing agenda.
In To Heal the World?, Neumann explains how the Jewish Renewal movement aligned itself with the New Left of the 1960s, and redirected the perspective of the Jewish community toward liberalism and social justice. He exposes the key figures responsible for this effort, shows that it lacks any real biblical basis, and outlines the debilitating effect it has had on Judaism itself.
It originates from the fact that the USSR liberated most of the Jews in Europe. That kind of loyalty dies hard.
Ping for discussion.
Because for secular Jews Leftism is their religion.
Is there any other group that lives in urban areas as much as Jews do that votes any differently? I think it might be where they tend to live. Urban living people vote way more liberal.

Israel rose and fell several times, an attempt to create utopia on Earth through theocracy and ideology.
Jesus came and said that’s not possible. Do improve yourselves so you could get into heaven. Do try to improve the world around you. But abandon the dream of utopia in this world.
I think too many Jews still believe in the utopianism and latch onto socialism as a way to try to achieve it.
And too many have bought into liberal dogma, raising the one commandment “do good” to the highest virtue just as liberals raise liberalism’s political dogma as the greatest good. You see the same thing in Islam, where spreading and strengthening the religious faith and political system that privileges it is THE greatest good.
Judaism doesn’t seek converts, but liberal Jews can proselytize their hearts out for liberalism without seeing the ethical conflict. They think it does good, they equate the supposed empathy and fairness in liberalism as justice, so let’s sacrifice Judeo-Christian ethics in the name of the ONE true good ... liberalism.
Same goes for most Catholics.
i will never understand it
Does not excuse treason, nor modern day democrat voting en bloc.
The Democrat Party has historically been the party of the common man. Many do not realize that the Democrat Party abandoned the common man long ago when they were only viewed as automatic votes who no longer needed to be wooed. Jews are all those things you say, but they also can’t see the writing on the wall until it is too late. Perhaps Jews will soon have an awakening soon. But I won’t hold my breath on that.
They believe in family”
Many are pro-abortion
I have heard it is traditional
Hard to believe they brought us Einstein isn’t it?
1. They embrace the Big Lie that NAZI = right wing instead of just another flavor of leftist.
2. They embrace the Talmudic concept of Tikkun Olam, which is essentially leftist utopianism.
From what I have gleamed there seem to be 4 different sects of Judiasm.
1. Traditionalist Jews: Humble sects, is conservative, somewhat insular but is pretty conservative, most vote republican/conservative, especially in recent decades. They support Israel solidly as much as they support the united states.
2. Talmudic Jews: Believe in Jewish superiority over others, not that many in number compared to Traditionalist Jews, but think they are God’s Chosen people, they put the Talmud over the Torah. Vote democrat mostly, but some are what you would call globalist neo-cons.
3. Socialist Jews: Put the religion of the state socialism above Judaism, never go to temple or if they do go to temple are pretty much doing it to virtue signal to their Jewish community. They only become jewish if they are under attack for their bad socialist ideas, then they become “instant victims”. Exclusively vote democrat/socialist, Bernie Sanders is a great example.
4. Atheist Jews: Are only Jewish by blood, never go to temple, they Mostly follow the Socialist Jews. They vote exclusively Democrat. Many hate their traditionalist Parents, they share a hatred for Israel with their communist peers.
That is just my general impression from all my observations.
Feedback from someone of the faith would be appreciated.
As a gentile from NY originally, my impression is that there’s some level of resentment and antipathy toward Christians, and the GOP is seen as the “Christan party”. This sentiment seems more pronounced among secular Jews, and in urban centers, secularism is the default.
