I am Jewish because the religion, the tradition, and the community inspire me and support me to follow the path that the Prophet Micah challenges us all to walk: “To do justice, to love goodness, and to walk humbly with God.” – Rachel Cowan (Rabbi)

Remember the guy who smashed all the idols in the idol store? His mother had a heart attack when she saw the mess, but I’m sure she bragged about it later. That’s us. That’s me. I am Jewish. – Sarah Silverman (Comedian)

Being Jewish has taught me how to laugh! First and foremost to laugh at myself and at my situation. More important, to laugh in order to act in the world. –Naamah Kelman (Israeli rabbi)

When I say that I am Jewish I affirm the fact that I am part of an extraordinary people who began as a nation in ancient Judea and have become, over the centuries, an international family. This family is united through space and time by shared ancestry, shared culture, and shared historical memories. – Sherwin Wine (Rabbi)

For a Jew, Judaism and humanity must go together. To be Jewish is to recognize that every person is created in God’s image and thus worthy of respect. Being Jewish to me is to reject fanaticism everywhere. – Elie Weisel (Writer, Holocaust survivor)

In a world that seeks single solutions, the Jew asks questions. In a world where people are dangerously pre-occupied with finding divine answers, the Jew is more concerned about struggling with the hard questions about life and death, about good and evil, about God and humanity. – Sandy Sasso (Rabbi)
