Jews Biography

"Ages 8-12"--Back cover. "Explore the vivid spectrum of the Jewish community through the . . . Stories and contributions of thirty-six leaders. While the identities of those showcased in this anthology span across race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, and more, they are all united by Jewish values"--Back cover.

From the publisher:
Compiled by educator and author Liz Kleinrock and author Caroline Kusin Pritchard, this powerful intersectional anthology celebrates thirty-six Jewish heroes--from Tracee Ellis Ross and Victor "Young" Perez to Dona Gracia Nasi. A first-ever collection that disrupts the narrative of how a Jewish person is perceived, What Jewish Looks Like includes accessible primers on important Jewish history, a map, quotes, and much more! Too many Jews have been told: "You don't look Jewish!" It begs the question, "What does Jewish look like" Well, there are over fifteen million Jews in the world, which means there are more than fifteen million ways to look and be Jewish. It can look like setting out menorahs on tribal land, adding kimchi to the seder plate, organizing for change, and living out loud. Shining a light on Paralympians and chefs, anthropologists and activists, dancers and dreamers, the individuals in these pages represent a range of identities. But they are threaded together by one unmistakable truth: Their lives, work, and commitment to Jewish values have changed our world for the better. These bold profiles and inspiring everyday stories come together to create a tapestry that beautifully reflects the multifaceted essence of the Jewish people.
