Do you mean about a six day creation process, dinosaurs coexisting with man, or a big fish swallowing our prophet Jonah? Nah, thank. I'll just have the pretzels, easy on the Biblical truth there.

We cultural Jews have lots of fun, and we eat well too
Ah no. Cultures have much more factors that we can observe and analyze. Just like different people have radically different traits the same patterns can be observed in cultures. For example Japanese culture is characterized by shyness, being introvert, and avoiding giving direct answers. Israeli Jewish culture is the complete opposite of that. There is too much to analyze about what makes a culture, and what are the traits of a culture to cover on line. Suffice to say I consider my native culture to be unlike any other I encountered or communicate with. There are some similar traits found in Italian, Spanish and other Mediterranean or Levantine cultures but not enough to confine Jewish culture to their structures of civilization. For example, both Israelis and other Levantine cultures are likely to be outspoken in daily communication, however in Israeli culture women are just as outspoken as the men, something which definitely cannot be taken for granted in surrounding cultures. In Jewish culture parents are unyielding about their children education while other cultures around Israeli Jewish one tend to dismiss it in favor of joining common manual labor prior to graduating high school.
