Description:
Jews is a modern classic that takes its place beside Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg's other landmark works -- including The Zionist Idea and Judaism. This highly acclaimed book is a bold and provocative attempt to define the "essential Jewish character." It explains why Jews have fallen victim to anti-Semitism in age after age and how they have been able to rise from the ashes and persist. In defining the roots of Jewish identity and the conflicts faced by Jews in every era, the authors of this myth-shattering study profile the pivotal Jewish figures in history, from the archetypal Abraham and Sarah to the ambivalent Kafka, Freud, and Woody Allen.
Expand description
Essential reading for Jews and non-Jews alike, this is an unblinking yet optimistic look at a heroic, sometimes tragic people who have had a major influence on world history.
