Jewish Quotes

I was Jewish, through and through, although in our house that didn’t mean a whole lot. We never went to synagogue. I never had a Bar Mitzvah. We didn’t keep kosher or observe the Sabbath. In fact, I’m not so sure I would have known what the Sabbath looked like if it passed me on the street, so how could I observe it? Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a reform Jewish family in St. Louis. Our idea of Judaism was no bar mitzvahs and a Christmas tree that had a skirt at the bottom embroidered with the names of my grandparents Picture Quote #1

I had already been a young singer. And once, as a profession, I was a young singer, what you would call a soprano in England, but I was an alto in singing Jewish music in bar mitzvahs and weddings and synagogues throughout New York City because, after Israel, New York is probably the biggest Jewish community in the world Picture Quote #1

I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with Arabs based upon living together than the creation of a Jewish state Picture Quote #1

I’m a good girl, and I have a very good Jewish family who brought me up very well Picture Quote #1

The Jewish background is not that far from the black groove. Blacks are downtrodden, Jews are downtrodden, therefore they have something in common in that affliction. Being downtrodden often makes one more empathetic and sympathetic Picture Quote #1

My girlfriend is Jewish. But it’s easier to buy her a Christmas present and then break it into 8 pieces Picture Quote #1

Miami Beach - that’s where I grew up, in a middle-class Jewish family led by my maternal grandfather. Me, my great-grandmother - a Holocaust survivor, who was my roommate - my grandparents, my mom and her brother all shared a four-bedroom house Picture Quote #1

I was this kid who had been raised in New York, and now all of a sudden, my mother decided that she was a Jewish divorcee and therefore she should be living in Miami Beach Picture Quote #1

Stanley Hauerwas is correct that Judaism insists on the bearing of children because it is essential to Jewish continuity. But to end the matter there is to miss an essential point: if we are to learn to love others, Judaism says, we must begin by loving those who are closest to us Picture Quote #1

I went to a private Jewish school before high school, and a lot of the kids had beautiful homes, but my parents don’t really care about those kinds of things Picture Quote #1

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against Picture Quote #1

Israel desperately needs peace if it is to come anywhere close to being the ‘light unto nations’ of Jewish dreams Picture Quote #1

There are times when folks will point out certain characteristics I have, like me being an interruptor, and attribute them to my Jewish identity Picture Quote #1

I am one of the happiest people I know. And that’s a weird place to have arrived at from being a depressed Jewish kid Picture Quote #1

As the gospels present it to us, the mission of Jesus of Nazareth is about the way in which the community of God’s people - historically, the Jewish people who had first received the law and the covenant - is being re-created in relation to Jesus himself Picture Quote #1

Being half Jewish, we grew up with Christmas trees but had Jewish ornaments Picture Quote #1

I really don’t even think of myself as being Jewish except when I’m in Germany Picture Quote #1

I am very proud of being Jewish. I went to a Jewish school all my life Picture Quote #1

No one in my family has been observant for generations, but we all identify with being Jewish Picture Quote #1

I noticed that people were craving a way of reinterpreting tradition and of being Jewish without joining a synagogue Picture Quote #1

I think that being Jewish is in some ways unique because there’s this conflation of race, culture and religion Picture Quote #1

I’ll tell you now that I hate myself for many reasons, but being Jewish is not one of them Picture Quote #1

San Francisco is really fun and liberal, and it’s my kind of politics. It’s like being Jewish in front of Jewish people Picture Quote #1

As scary as it was being raised by one Jewish mother, I have to feel for my kids because they have two Jewish mothers Picture Quote #1

I’ve liked being Jewish in America - there’s a secular version of Jewishness there that’s more about bagels and jokes than going to synagogues Picture Quote #1

It simply cannot be disputed that for decades the Palestinian leadership was more interested in there not being a Jewish state than in there being a Palestinian state Picture Quote #1

I just think of myself as a comedian, really. I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It’s funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I’m not religious at all. I have no religion Picture Quote #1

As a matter of fact, part of being Jewish is the whole question of what it is to be a Jew Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is that I write and I act a lot about being Jewish, but I don’t really think about it as a regular person Picture Quote #1
