About
In this landmark work, Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, vice president emeritus of the World Jewish Congress, and Aron Hirt-Manheimer, editor of Reform Judaism magazine, answer the question: What makes a Jew a Jew?These prominent Jewish scholars search for the soul of the Jewish character-from the archetypes of Abraham and Sarah to the ambivalence of Kafka, Freud, and Woody Allen.They delve beyond conventional discussions of Jewish identity and explore the very essence of Jewish existence.Highly acclaimed, Jews explains how and why great Jewish figures throughout history, who have been victimized by anti-Semitism, have succeeded to rise again and endure.
