“...examines the complex relationship between the practical and the passionate self, the realist and the dreamer, and the importance of those moments in life that make you feel 'airborne.'”

Sixty-two Jewish stars in the fields of entertainment (the largest number), politics, fashion, media, sports and business are profiled in Stars of David. A task journalist Pogrebin, who is also a former “60 Minutes” producer, does with consummate skill.
Refreshingly, Pogrebin is not simply the anonymous journalist dutifully reporting and shaping answers to her questions. Rather, she is an active participant in each of the dialogues, often adding her own concerns, insights and, at times, insecurities to the conversation.
While most of the 62 stars profiled are hardly poster people for Judaism, their stories obviously helped Pogrebin strengthen her own Jewish commitment. Perhaps, in some counterintuitive way, Stars of David will work the same magic on many of its readers.
