The Jewish people are very diverse, and I believe this rich tapestry of identities and experiences strengthens our community.

There is something very very special, universal and easily identifiable among all Jews; it is beyond territory, it is something we all have in common.

The majesty of the American Jewish experience is in its success marrying its unique Jewish identity with the larger, liberal values of the United States. There is no need anymore to choose between assimilation and separation. We are accepted as equals.

Most of the Jewish writer friends I have are American, and I feel closer to them because they're always obsessed with one issue - identity: what does it mean to be an American Jew?

My music is really about people connecting with their identities, even if they aren't Jewish.

We have our own values; we build our own special, our JEWISH life - and we are proud, so very proud.

The Jews are the living embodiment of the minority, the constant reminder of what duties societies owe their minorities, whoever they might be.

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

There is a diversity of thought and philosophy, diversity of languages and dialects, diversity of political spectrum, and there's a diversity of taste for food. I don't label or characterize Jews in any way.

Sometimes people who are Jewish are held to a higher standard which sometimes we take great pride in.
