Do all Jews have the same culture?

No, all Jews do not have the same culture, unless "culture" is used fairly broadly. All Jews do share some cultural values. But Jews live in many different parts of the world, and practice their faith in different ways. Significantly, there are liberal and conservative Jews. To take a specific example, Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn do have the same culture as, say, a liberal Jewish family on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, even though they only live a few miles away and might have the same genetic heritage. Moreover, in many countries Jews have tended to become assimilated to mainstream society.
