Absolutely. England has some large Jewish communities, especially in London.
Depending on where you live, some areas have sizable Jewish communities. There are radio stations serving the Jewish communities in New York, Los Angeles, and possibly others. Try Googling 'Jewish Music on the radio'.
That's easy: Read Paul's letters. Many of them have titles that name the community he was writing to. He visited most of them, except Alexandria at the mouth of the Nile River, where there was also a big Jewish community.
There is no one hechsher that is accepted by all Orthodox communities. Some communities accept the Triangle K hechsher while others don't.
There are two ways that a person can be Jewish - either by being born to a Jewish mother (or, in some modern communities, to a Jewish father - though this is not strictly in keeping with Jewish law) or by conversion. Jesus was born to Mary, who was Jewish (as was her husband Joseph) and so he was a Jew. Since not everyone has a Jewish mother and not everyone has converted to Judaism, not everybody is Jewish.
They don't. Its just that the Jewish communities in Mexico are some of the most conservative among them and as such, they exclude themselves from the rest of the population.
Under traditional Jewish law, Jewishness is inherited through the mother so that only children of Jewish mothers are considered to be Jewish. As a result, a Jewish man who wants his children to be accepted in a traditional Jewish community will seek to marry only a Jewish woman. Some of the more liberal Jewish communities now accept the children of Jewish fathers as Jewish when they are raised in the Jewish faith. In addition, there have always been processes through which non-Jews an convert to Judaism. This would permit a non-Jewish woman to convert, marry a Jewish man and have their children recognized as Jewish in traditional communities. It also permits the children of a non-Jewish mother to be raised and accepted as Jews even in traditional communities. In Judaism there's no such thing as "half-Jewish."
There was only one Jewish Temple and it was in Jerusalem.
It's very likely that some do while others don't. There is a large, active, vibrant Jewish community in Montreal.
The Diaspora (scattering of the Jewish communities) began at the destruction of the First Temple, some 24 centuries ago. At that time, Jewish communities were established in North Africa, Iraq, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, and adjacent areas. From there, they gradually spread to further regions.
1) Israel is 75% Jewish by population. 2) Many American (and some European and other) cities have noticeable Jewish communities (albeit a minority of the general population).
