The older we get, the more Jewish we become in my family.
For me Christ has always symbolized the true type of the Jewish martyr.
I know what it means to be Jewish, and I don't think someone who wasn't Jewish would really understand.
I definitely have a strong sense of my Jewish and Israeli identity. I did my two year military service, I was brought up in a very Jewish, Israeli family environment, so of course my heritage is very important to me. I want people to have a good impression of Israel. I don't feel like I'm an ambassador for my country, but I do talk about Israel a lot - I enjoy telling people about where I come from and my religion.
For a Jewish guy, I've recorded a lot of Christmas albums.
The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.
First I went to a Jewish school, when I was very little. But when I was 12, they put me in a school with a lot of traditions, and they were educated people and they were talking about Greece and the Parthenon and I don't know what. All the kids, all the girls they had already seen that and knew that from their family, and I would say, "What are you talking about, what's that?" It's not my world. My grandparents were very well-educated people, but in the Jewish tradition. They knew everything about the Bible.
Even if you meet the perfect person, it ain’t gonna be at the perfect time. You’re married, they’re single. That’s right. You’re Jewish, they’re Palestinian. You’re a Mexican, they’re a raccoon. You’re a black woman, he’s a black man.
Antisemitism is unique among religious hatreds. It is a racist conspiracy theory fashioned for the needs of messianic and brutal rulers, as dictators from the Tsars to the Islamists via the Nazis have shown. Many other alleged religious 'hatreds' are not hatreds in the true sense. If I criticise Islamic, Orthodox Jewish or Catholic attitudes towards women, for instance, and I'm accused of being a bigot, I shrug and say it is not bigoted to oppose bigotry.
Ah, how many luxuries has the good God prepared for his Jewish children.
It makes me furious to hear haters of all skin colors - especially Christian, Jewish, and Muslim fundamentalists - deride other people because of their different beliefs and lifestyles.
My girlfriend is Jewish. But it's easier to buy her a Christmas present and then break it into 8 pieces.
It felt like an oversight to me, something that needed to be corrected. They [women who hid Jewish children] deserved to be understood and remembered.
I'm not a religious person. My mom was of Jewish blood and my dad was Protestant.
All peoples enjoy freedom, and freedom for the development of their culture. . . There is no Jewish problem in the Soviet Union at all. . . I have many friends who are Jews.
There is more to Jewish history than Auschwitz.
Some of my best friends are Jewish contributors to the Democratic Party.
I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.
It took me many years to understand that my identity is more Israeli than Jewish.
Maybe there's something about the outsiderness of being Jewish that makes for a fiery feminist type.
