"Reading it may revitalize you, too. "
-JBOOKS.COM
“You may be tempted to race through these accounts, or, as Pogrebin anticipates, ‘to turn first to chapters about the people one already admires.’ Don’t. Read the book slowly and get to know some “prominent Jews” you may not have realized are prominent, or Jewish.
And get to know Pogrebin.
...Reading this book may very well lead you to Pogrebin’s own conclusion: ‘What I do know is that being Jewish is powerful and, in a sense, unavoidable—whether one embraces it or leaves it on the shelf, whether one lives a visible life or an anonymous one. And that, in the process of writing this book, it’s become more vital to me than I ever expected.’ Reading it may revitalize you, too.
