Summoning
If I speak about the Jewish people, do I always have to include 'the' before 'Jews'? It seems to me that some people omit it in situations where others use it. I would probably use 'the' if I talked about a specific group of them.
At one point in history the summoning of the Parliament had to take place at least three-times every year. Is this sentence considered natural or do I have to say 'the Parliament had to be summoned'?
Thank you.

That's true. If you're talking about a specific group of people who follow the Jewish faith, you use "the". However, if I was referring to all Jews, I wouldn't use "the".
