"Arthur Hertzberg is one of the foremost experts of contemporary Jewish thought. His sharp wit and penetrating mind, his rabbinical acumen, his active involvement in all aspects of Jewish life, his strong commitment to Zionism and Israel--all combine to invest his writings with great authority. His previous book The Jews in America has become a classic and this present one will no doubt be hailed as the culmination of the author's many literary and scholarly achievements."-Justice Chaim Cohen, Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Isreal (retired)
"Arthur Hertzberg has one of America's most amazing minds. Whatever he writes is more than worth reading, it's a must for all who are interested in Judaism in general and American Jewry in particular."-Edgar M. Bronfman

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 archetype 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 regarded, " Jews " explains how and why great Jewish figures throughout history, who have been victimized by anti-Semitism, have succeeded to rise again and endure. This highly acclaimed work is a bold attempt to define the "essential Jewish character"—an unblinking yet optimistic look at a heroic, sometimes tragic people who have had a major influence on world history.
