6. | Description | Abstract | You might think the answer to the question ‘Who is a Jew?’ is simple. But it isn’t. Jews have been around for thousands of years, but there is considerable uncertainty about who is a Jew. Whenever I try to explain the complexities of Jewish identity to my students, I take a toy rabbit to class. I hold it up by its ears. And I ask: ‘What is this?’ They say: ‘A rabbit.’ And I then ask them to list the criteria for this toy being a rabbit and not something else. The list includes: big ears, four paws, whiskers, and so on. |
