Jewish science

Jewish science is a term historically used by some early 20th-century social scientists to describe efforts by Jewish scholars to study and promote contributions of Jewish people to various fields, connecting cultural identity with scientific achievement. However, the term has also been associated with pseudoscientific ideas attempting to claim Jewish biological or intellectual superiority, which lack credible evidence and promote stereotypes. It’s important to distinguish genuine scholarly work on Jewish history and culture from these discredited pseudoscientific claims. Today, reputable scholarship emphasizes understanding Jewish contributions within a context of cultural, historical, and social factors.
