As a Jew who is born, live and die a Jew, I found the title intriguing. I had stop after several chapters to digest the writers point of view. You may not agree with the writer, but that is the point. Part of being Jewish is discuss various points of view. Recommend for collections that have Jewish patrons.

I found this book very timely in examining the meaning of being a Jew today. Talking examines Jewish identity and norms, especially during this time when a rising tide of Antisemitism is apparent both here in the USA and other parts of the world. There is also an emphasis on the relationship between Judaism’ and Zionism.

This book pulls together the various strands of Jewis culture and identity. I think many book groups will enjoy reading and discussing this well-written book about an endlessly interesting subject.

Thank you Netgalley for this interesting and readable book.
