On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates by Zibby Owens
5.0
As soon as I heard that Zibby Owens put together a collection of essays about being Jewish written by 75 Jewish authors and advocates I knew I had to have it. I immediately preordered both the kindle and physical versions and as soon as it was on Audible I bought it.
The essays in this collaboration all spoke to me. The collection of authors is a perfect sampling of Judaism. Some are religious and some are not. Some converted to Judaism while others were born into it. Some have always embraced being Jewish while others have only started embracing it after October 7th and even a few others who still don’t out of fear.
What I got from this is the reminder that speaking up is never wrong. It’s not easy but doing what’s right never is. While the kindle and audio versions are available now, the physical copy will hit the shelves on November 1st.
