I have a not antisemitic Jew joke that I like;
I like it because it captures an aspect of Judaism that I, a non Jew, didn't understand until I spent a long time hanging out with a dear friend who's Jewish — including being in the general vicinity while they did Zoom Talmud classes. Valuing the process (the argumentation to get to the answer) more than the answer itself is something that wasn't familiar to me, as someone who's culturally Christian. Like, this joke is going "lol, Jews love to argue", but it's not just the superficial joke that's being made, but the deeper underlying point that when it comes to interpreting the word of God, that rabbis can't rely on divine intervention to clear up a dispute, because this will just create more stuff that needs to be interpreted. I also enjoy the fact that although I read this in a joke context, it turns out to actually be a story in the Talmud
Religion has been described as a collection of laws and guidelines that circumscribe a man's life.
That's especially true of Judaism.
