When Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was brutally murdered in Pakistan, many Jews were particularly touched by his last words affirming their Jewish identity. Many were moved to reflect on or analyze their feelings about their lives as Jews.

The contributions, ranging from major trials of a paragraph or sentence, comes from adults and youth in the form of personal feelings, statements of theology, life stories and historical reflections. Despite the diversity, commonalities shine through clearly and distinctly.
This inspiring collection presents the responses of Jews around the world, artists, artists, government leaders, authors, media personalities, scientists, community leaders, academics, rabbis and other religious-encompassing professional and spectrum policy. Explore:
