All too often Judaism is seen as a homogeneous religion, a homogeneous culture. Yet it is, under its image of unity, an extremely diverse religion. It is one of the few religions I know where atheism is tolerated among its members. It seems racially uniform, but when one looks into the depth of Jewish experience around the world one finds a racial diversity that spans every continent. There are Chinese Jews, Indian Jews, Latin American Jews and African Jews as well as the well known Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and Mizrahim Jews.
The Jewish experience is amazingly diverse. Even though a large part of Judaism share genetic links to an ancient tribal culture in the Middle East, Judaism has always been more open to converts than has generally been recognized. Though the tribal/genetic aspect of Judaism is important to Jews, it is by no means a requirement and once someone converts they are recognized as FULLY Jewish, whatever their heritage. Judaism has grown in diversity both through the diaspora (perhaps a form of divergent evolution), and through conversion (more of a convergent evolution, perhaps), more often than not encouraged by the Hasidic Jews more than the more reform side of Judaism.
Below I present an incomplete survey of Jewish diversity represented in music, from Israel to India to America to Uganda.
