early Christian apologist and catechist Tertullian once asked, "What does Jerusalem
have to do with Athens?"


In the Hellenic community where I reside, there has been much debate lately concerning the enormous influence of the Jewish Greeks and the tensions caused in relation to the divisions and loyalties of culture and heritage.

A popular movement in the revival of the traditional Hellenic culture has been spreading throughout Europe the Americas and Australia. Observance of the old faith, philosophies and traditions are now being embraced and practiced by thousands of Hellenes around the world.

Myself being one of them.

So, my question is; "What constitutes the makeup of a true Hellene? Is it religion, language, geography or geneology?"
