Book review:  Jewish Pride Rebuilding a People

Ben M. Freeman, in his seminal work Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People, issues a resounding call to Jews of all backgrounds to embrace and celebrate their identity, drawing inspiration from the LGBTQ+ Pride movement. Through a sharp lens on history, Freeman explores the evolving face of antisemitism, tracing its impact across generations. Interweaving personal experience as a Gay Jew with wider cultural analysis, he urges Jews to define themselves not through the gaze of others, but through their own history, values, and lived traditions. What unfolds is not just a narrative, but a reckoning, a deeply confronting and emotional reflection on the resilience of a people whose story has been anything but easy.
