We Jews

In We Jews, Rabbi Steinsaltz explores the most important issues that concern Jews today AS Jews. He provides wise and uplifting answers to Jews everywhere, whether they are secular and assimilated or orthodox Are we a nation or a religion? Are the stereotypes of Jews really true? Why are Jews so controversial? How can we navigate the opposing forces of diversity, culture, and politics? Can we survive intermarriage and the loss of tradition? Do we still worship the Golden Calf? In this book, Rabbi Steinsaltz sees causes and consequences, achievements and failures, looks at the contemporary world, and observes the dreams and longings of modern Jewish people. Written as an intimate and inspiring internal memo to the whole Jewish family, We Jews answers these questions and many more in a way that is at once insightful and inspiring.

First sentence: One of the most conspicuous characteristics of the Jews is their innate capacity to imitate, to become a copy, almost completely, of the human environment in which they live.
