    The short answer is that Nietzsche’s approach to Judaism is not compatible with Jewish theology. Nietzsche’s philosophy rejects that concept of a long past that connects us all to something that is greater than one moment in history. That is a view that cannot be reconciled with the centrality of the Torah to the Jewish nation.
