Author Talk - What Jewish Looks Like - Contemporary Jewish Museum

Join co-authors Liz Kleinrock and Caroline Kusin Pritchard in conversation about their new book "What Jewish Looks Like"-a children's book that explores the unlimited and diverse ways to look and be Jewish. Learn about the authors' inspiration to write this book together, some of their favorite moments in their writing journey, and gain insight into how they gathered the stories of some of the people in the book! About the Book Too many Jewish people have been told: "You don't look Jewish!" It begs the question, "What does Jewish look like?" With more than fifteen million Jewish people in the world, there are more than fifteen million ways to look and be Jewish-from setting out menorahs on tribal land to adding kimchi to the Seder plate, organizing for change, living out loud, and so much more. Shining a light on Paralympians and chefs, anthropologists and activists, dancers and dreamers, "What Jewish Looks Like" highlights a wide range of identities, all threaded together by one unmistakable truth: their lives, work, and commitment to Jewish values have changed our world for the better. The bold profiles and inspiring everyday stories the authors share come together to create a tapestry that beautifully reflects the multifaceted essence of the Jewish people.
