To Be a Jew deals with the question of the meaning and rationale
that the writer Joseph Chayim Brenner attributes to Jewish
existence. Many of Brenner's readers assumed that Brenner
completely negated Jewish existence and sought to form a new way of
life completely disconnected from the traditional Jewish existence.
In contrast to this perception, Avi Sagi proves that not only did
Brenner not reject the value of the Jewish existence, but the core
of his creation was written out of a deep Jewish commitment.
Brenner's greatest innovation is found in his new conception of
Jewish existence. To be a Jew, according to Brenner, involves the
willingness to discover solidarity with actual Jews, to participate
in a society in which Jews can live a free life and to fashion
their culture as they wish. Sagi presents the idea that Brenner's
is not a Utopian, but a realistic, conception of Jewish existence.
Thus this unique conception of Jewish existence is founded on an
infrastructure of existential thought.
