Most Jews, like most rational persons, know that their personal identity and their ethnic identity are not one and the same.

While I am very much Jewish 'identified,' I'm not a very religious person.

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

I do strongly identify with being Jewish. I was raised Orthodox and had a childhood complicated by the fact that my father was deeply religious and my mother was not.

I don't consider myself Jewish. I am half-Jewish by race but not through my mother.

As a matter of fact, part of being Jewish is the whole question of what it is to be a Jew.

Our people represent a tapestry of interwoven identities embodying the rich diversity of what it means to be Jewish.

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.

I'm a cultural Christian in the same way many of my friends call themselves cultural Jews or cultural Muslims.

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