Etre juif

By Manès Sperber

A non-practicing Jew, Man s Sperber learned to read the Bible at the age of three and continued to re-read it until the end of his life. Neither religious, nor a militant Zionist, nor an aethiest, nor aligned with any cultural JudaI'm, he professes as his only faith a "religion of good memory." His is a JudaI'm lived as Humanism and as an ethic, as a refusal of all idolatry, of exclusion of others, and a constant combat against hate of any kied. It is a profound attachment to the Israelite nation and a prudent attitude towards the State of Israel that'sperber illustrates in these brilliant essays prefaced by Elie Weisel, where analysis of Jewish thought and identity walk hand in hand with the eternal question: Why anti-semitI'm?
