I read about that in a book on Judaism. My town has only a handful of Jewish families, though three of my dad's cousins who live elsewhere have married Jews. They also explained to me the rules of the Cohens. (Obviously, none of them are Cohens, since my family is not Jewish.)

A lot of religions have this kind of thing. Hinduism has a similar thing with the Brahmans, who are their priestly caste. They have their own privileges and restrictions (one rule they have is that they have to be vegetarian).
