Being Jewish. What does it mean―today―and for the future? Listen in as Jews of all backgrounds reflect, argue, and imagine.

When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered in Pakistan, many Jews were particularly touched by his last words affirming his Jewish identity. Many were moved to reflect on or analyze their feelings toward their lives as Jews.

The saying "two Jews, three opinions" well reflects the Jewish community's broad range of views on any topic. I Am Jewish captures this richness of interpretation and inspires Jewish people of all backgrounds to reflect upon and take pride in their identity.

Contributions, ranging from major essays to a paragraph or a sentence, come from adults as well as young people in the form of personal feelings, statements of theology, life stories and historical reflections. Despite the diversity, common denominators shine through clearly and distinctly.

Review:

"Should be mandatory reading in all Jewish schools in the United States and Israel."
Yuval Rotem, Consul General of Israel

Synopsis:
What did it mean to Daniel Pearl when he declared, "I am Jewish"? What does it mean to many of the millions of Jews who have uttered the same phrase? Based on the last words of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl - who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan during the recent war in Afghanistan - I Am Jewish examines what this short statement means to Jewish people from all walks of life, from all around the world, in their own words. Through personal essays, theological statements, historical reflections, stories and memoirs, contributors - both famous Jews and average citizens - express what being Jewish means to them. We can't know what Daniel Pearl was thinking when he declared "I am Jewish," but his words now serve as an important springboard into an inspirational exploration of Jewish identity.
