What are the characteristics of Jews?

In terms of appearance, Jews generally like to grow beards, sometimes looking like a Santa Claus; most Jews are thin, with large, hawk-like noses; and in terms of clothing, wide, large-brimmed hats are a favorite choice.

The Jews have a very strict routine, and usually do not break the Sabbath (which means no non-religious, non-domestic activities on that day).

In terms of rituals, Jews generally hold the Jewish faith and live their lives according to certain rituals, which include not celebrating Christmas and having children bar mitzvah.

From the point of view of accent, those who know Jews well can easily recognize them by their speech habits, especially their accent, but for those who are unfamiliar with Jews, this kind of identification will be more difficult.

Eastern European surnames, such as the various "Ski," "Chick," and "Vitz" at the end of surnames. German surnames, such as the various "Steins", "Bergs", "Manns" at the end of the last name, or the "Sch" at the beginning of the last name, are likely to be Jewish (mainly Jews in the United States, in this case).

Jews place great importance on education and cultural heritage. Quite a few extraordinary celebrities in history are Jews, such as Albert Einstein in science, former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, stockbroker Warren Buffett and Facebook founder Zuckerberg. In the U.S., Jews are among the most educated and highest-earning ethnic groups.

A large number of lawyers, doctors, and financial practitioners are Jewish, the founder of Goldman Sachs, a leading investment bank, is Jewish, the owners of several major Hollywood movie studios are Jewish, and Jews make up a large portion of the government sector.
