Sfar speaks about Jewish Identity, specifically, he is trying to say that Jews do not have a distinct look. The stereotypical 'Jewish' look does not exist in Sfar's book, he talks about Jews from France and North Africa which clearly don't have the same physical appearance. However, it may also mean they don't have the same religious practice, and in the book, it shows that they do not practice Judaism the same way. Nonetheless, Sfar believes everyone should be accepted no matter how they practice.
It's also an important lesson that can be learned in any sect of life. However, I can see it especially identifying with religion. I know some older generations are so quick to judge people if they practice a different religion or they practice the same religion but with a 'twist.' This is obviously unfair but people shouldn't worry too much. I just think it is interesting to see how we have evolved socially.
