I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day.

In America and in most of the industrialized world, men are coming to be thought of by feminists in very much the same way that Jews were thought of by early Nazis. The comparison is overwhelmingly scary.

Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.

Jews had an outsider's eye on a lot of Western tradition.

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don't really think about it as a regular person.

The orthodox Jewish faith practically excludes woman from religious life.

I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.

Silence, this will surprise you not, isn't really a Jewish concept.

It seems, though, that historically we have now reached a position in which Jews cannot legitimately be understood always and only as presumptive victims.

I grew up in a working-class Israeli family, which was feminist only in its female-dominated structure.
