Jews went through a lot of trials and tribulations that is for sure. There are many things that have defined Jewish identity over the course of history. The one I wish to discuss is their faith in God, as well as the covenant between God and the Jews. God promised Abraham that he would always protect the Jews. In return, the Jews would be his agents to spread absolute morality, kindness, and other values. God never forgot this and continued to protect the followers of Judaism. No matter where they are or the time, the only link between this widespread groups of people is the torah and mitzvot. The torah and mitzvot has made their people indestructible in the face of massacres and foreign cultures determined to bring about spiritual destruction.
