I Am Jewish by Judea and Ruth Pearl (paperback)

What did it mean to Daniel Pearl when he declared in his final words "I am Jewish"? What does it mean to many of the millions of Jews who have uttered the same phrase?

Based on the last words of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl -- who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan during the U.S. war against the Taliban. I Am Jewish examines what this short statement means to Jewish people from all walks of life, from all around the world, in their own words.

Through personal essays, theological statements, historical reflections, stories, memoirs, and more, contributors -- both famous Jews and average citizens -- express what being Jewish means to them.

We can’t know what Daniel Pearl was thinking when he declared "I am Jewish," but his words now serve as an important springboard into an inspirational exploration of Jewish identity.
