What does it mean to be Jew(ish) in 2020? Caught between tradition and modernity, between a Jewish family and a non-Jewish son, Matt Greene ponders the big questions concerning identity, religion, family and Seinfeld.

When his son was born to a non-Jewish mother, Matt began to consider the upbringing he’d put behind him—the sense of not belonging, the forbidden foods, the holidays that felt more like punishments. There are more types of Jew than there are bagel fillings, and for every two there are three opinions. But if you’re not a black-hatted
Two cultures are hard to bridge. The author writes of his experiences with wry humor. As you'd expect, it's the birth of Matt and Imogen's first child, a boy, that ignites the struggle. As it usually does in mixed-faith families. It's all theoretical until you are faced with how to raise the child, and worse yet, there is the custom of circumcision, which is not only controversial now, but held as a ceremony and not a hospital procedure. Then there is naming; Jewish tradition names the child after a departed relative, usually a close one (like a grandparent) and you even get an Anglicized version (if you are English speaking) and the Hebrew equivalent. That's just for starters....

I like this book for the sharp, clear way the author handles his dilemmas and it's an easy, interesting read--I love memoirs, the more frank and open, the better. If you are considering marrying someone of a different faith or culture, I'd even call this a must-read. But even if you aren't, it's a very quick and interesting book and I was totally engrossed. Highly recommended.

Title: Jewish by Choice, or, Life in the XXI C.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020
Review: American readers of this book may find themselves challenged by the author, who speaks English like a native, but says things that simply don't make sense to the average secular U.S. Internet addict. Some of it is references to politics of Tories and Labour and very little about Caligula. But no matter how forcefully he has set out to terminate his relationship with people called the Jews and Judaism, he ends up being even more Jewish [Something of a challenge for someone with four Jewish grandparents and a bar mitzvah in his background --without keeping kosher and growing peyas.].
The problem is that it is not his choice: others decide his identity and try to determine his feelings and opinions and then judge him. In the end, in the Age of Identity politics, we all have to discover our (Jew)ishness, our otherness, our self-hatred, our shared humanity and our community. Greene leads us on the paths he has taken in hopes some of the education society in general needs will be accomplished. Those with the privilege of WASP immunity have to face what excusing little, "unimportant" bits of blind anti-Semitism can lead to in the Shoah, and how it diminishes the willfully blind as much as the brutal bigot. In a way it says what the Black Lives Matter movement says in North America, about asking, Which side are you on?
Also he is a good writer who leads us eloquently (and with hidden humour) to vertiginous dichotomies, where we look at the real --even when alt.real calls it "fake news"--and cannot turn away unmoved. Even tho i thought i already knew more than i wanted to of this subject, i learned from his book and encourage you to read it.
