- Summary:
- Throughout his life, this world-renowned rabbi, activist, author, historian, public servant, and confidante to the powerful, including Golda Meir, Martin Luther King Jr. and Henry Kissinger, has advocated that a true Jew is not an ethnic Jew who makes central his support for Israel or his fight against anti-Semitism, but rather a person deeply tied to the religion and its principles. Hertzberg traces his own self-discovery, confronting the choices he has made and offering a history of American Jews and their struggle for identity. His life is a window onto the forces that have buffeted and strengthened Jews in our times--From publisher description.
