Explicitly pushing back against homogenous depictions of Jewish people, the authors demonstrate the ethnic, racial, and gender diversity of Jews. Each spread includes a brief biography paired with a stylized portrait reminiscent of those in Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo\u2019s Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (2016). A pull quote or sidebar accompanies each subject; sidebars include \u201cHighlighting Jewish Paralympic Athletes,\u201d \u201cJewish Stringed Music,\u201d and \u201cEthiopian Jews in Israel.\u201d Kleinrock and Pritchard\u2019s roster of subjects makes a compelling case for the vastness and variety of Jewish experience\u2014from a contemporary Ethiopian American teen to a 16th-century Portuguese philanthropist\u2014while still allowing them to acknowledge better-known figures. The entry on Raquel Montoya-Lewis, an associate justice of the Washington Supreme Court and an enrolled member of the Pueblo Isleta Indian tribe, discusses her mission to reimagine criminal justice for Indigenous people; the sidebar name-checks Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. The bios are organized around themes of Jewish principles such as Pikuach Nefesh (translated from the Hebrew as \u201cto save a life\u201d) and Adam Yachid (translated as the \u201cunique value of every person\u201d); each section includes an introduction to an organization that centers diverse Jewish experiences.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
