You're right. I shouldn't automatically make that connection.

It's an easly mistake to make. As I just posted to someone less positive, the Jews I know don't even know who Moses is. They are all about a culture that makes them feel unique, like the Amish but they are not like the Jews I read about in the Bible. That is the mistake I've made over and over in the past.

but they are not like the Jews I read about in the Bible.

Why would you expect them to be?
