This should be interesting and relevant for many of us here. I found it illuminating especially in reference to some more famous “mesirus nefesh” stories and how some sects, Chabad perhaps most explicitly in Sefer Tanya, make variations of the claim that there’s something uniquely or intrinsically Jewish about being willing to forfeit one’s well-being or even life for the “truth” of the religion. Recent studies, as analyzed and presented here, are showing that to not be the case. Religion bleib a religion.
