Stereotypes of Jews

Stereotypes of Jews are generalized and often inaccurate beliefs about Jewish people that have been historically used to misjudge or discriminate against them. These stereotypes can include assumptions about their religion, culture, behavior, or economic status. They stem from longstanding prejudices and can perpetuate misunderstandings, leading to discrimination or social bias. It’s important to recognize that stereotypes do not reflect individual realities and that Jewish people, like any group, are diverse with varied experiences and identities. Challenging stereotypes helps foster understanding, respect, and equality.
