Why Be Jewish? Knowledge & Inspiration for Jews of Today (Paperback)

Why be Jewish? Strange question, perhaps. After all, if you’re Jewish … you’re Jewish. And yet, the question is not as strange as it once was.

Jewish identity no longer survives automatically. To stay Jewish today, one needs to find his or her own reasons why our heritage is important, inspirational, and relevant.
