All a Jew has to do is recite a few proverbs or anecdotes to consider himself an expert on 'Jewishness.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being a Jew, one learns to believe in the reality of cruelty and one learns to recognize indifference to human suffering as a fact.
Jews are frequently compared to the proverbial 'canary in the coal mine,' an enduring signal for when the world is failing to meet its obligations in tackling bigotry. It has never been clearer to me just how widely understood that truism is.
I'm not really a Jew; just Jew-ish, not the whole hog.
Sometimes people who are Jewish are held to a higher standard which sometimes we take great pride in.
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 remain convinced that I can be a true universalist only when I am a better Jew.
As a practicing Jew, I have studied with Christian teachers whom I respect for who they are and what they are, including their positive concern with Jews and Judaism.
I was not a very good Jew. I never practised what Judaism tells you to do, to teach your kids all about Judaism.
No Jew was ever fool enough to turn Christian unless he was a clever man.
Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.
