About the Book: In "As a Jew," Hurwitz documents her quest to take back her Jewish identity, how she stripped away the layers of antisemitic lies that made her recoil from her own birthright and unearthed the treasures of Jewish tradition. With antisemitism and anti-Zionism surging across the globe, Hurwitz’s defiant account of reclaiming the Jewish story and learning to live as a Jew, without apology, has never been more essential and necessary.
