The Jews have done at least a few things right. I'm glad he was interested
in their history and teachings. Yes, I've heard this in lessons, that he
studies the Jews extensively.

Joseph Smith was fascinated by Judiasm, so much so he learned to read
Hebrew. He sent one of his saints to Israel to bless the Mount of Olives and
his respect and love for the people Israel permeated his practices. Some
even believe he had Jewish ancestors.
