I do not recall a Jewish home without a book on the table.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist.
Jews have been living in Jerusalem way before British people were living in London.
I find it very hard to write about Jewish history.
Judaism is in all my books.
Jewish existence in the Land of Israel depends only on the Jews, and on what the Jews think of themselves.
You don't have to be Jewish to understand the history of Europe in the 20th century, but it helps.
I grew up in Wakefield, Mass., and there were only a couple of Jewish families in the town.
My father belonged to a Jewish social club.
I grew up in a reform Jewish family in St. Louis. Our idea of Judaism was no bar mitzvahs and a Christmas tree that had a skirt at the bottom embroidered with the names of my grandparents.
A Jew without Jews, without Judaism, without Zionism, without Jewishness, without a temple or an army or even a pistol, a Jew clearly without a home, just the object itself, like a glass or an apple.
