Best Answer

The Jews believe proudly that they are gods on chosen people, according to The Bible, and Abraham is the father of the nation.

_____________

Most non-Jews misunderstand the meaning of 'chosen' in reference to Jews. Chosen simply means that we Jews were chosen to keep Torah. It does not mean that we're better than other people.

According to the Torah, HaShem (The Creator) offered the Torah to all of the nations of the world before finally offering it to the Israelites after being rejected by the other nations. When HaShem offered the Torah to the Israelites, they accepted it without condition and the Torah became their path to HaShem.

The term 'chosen', simply refers to the Israelites having been chosen to keep the Torah. This term does not imply that the Israelites were better than any other nation.
