As a matter of fact, part of being Jewish is the whole question of what it is to be a Jew.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there's this conflation of race, culture and religion.
I'm not really a Jew; just Jew-ish, not the whole hog.
To be Jewish is to be specifically identified with a history. And if you're not aware of that when you're a child, the whole tradition is lost.
I don't consider myself Jewish. I am half-Jewish by race but not through my mother.
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.
I'm a Jew.
Most Jews, like most rational persons, know that their personal identity and their ethnic identity are not one and the same.
I really don't even think of myself as being Jewish except when I'm in Germany.
I'm part Jewish and part Christian, but I'm mostly Jewish.
Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.
