It provides the full range of perspectives necessary to let us draw our own conclusions. A seasoned journalist, Meryl Hyman weaves her own life experiences into this complex and controversial subject, exploring profound and highly personal questions of identity in conversations with Jew and non-Jew. The daughter of a Jewish father and a Christian mother, she set out to find out why so many Jews say she is not a Jew, even though she has practiced Judaism and identified herself as a Jew since birth. She found a people struggling with its own history, customs, and laws; a people who fear that their unity may be sacrificed. Featured in \"Who Is a Jew?\" are leaders from all parts of the Jewish world, eminent scholars, and others from all spectrums of belief--from Israel, England, and the United States--who speak out on the subject and delve into such questions as: What are the many-faceted \"answers\" to this seemingly simple question? Why are these answers crucial for all Jews? Why does Jewish identity have a bearing on all cultural, religious, and ethnic groups? Why and how does Israel's answer to the question matter to Jews everywhere in the world?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jewish Lights Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45137493262487,"sku":"9781683364955","price":1488.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781683364955.webp?v=1767283900","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/who-is-a-jew-conversations-not-conclusions-9781683364955","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
