I am a Christian writing about books to teach you about Judaism. This is important. You see, just as it is not the responsibility of people of color to teach white people about racism or for queer people to educate the straights, it is not on Jewish people to enlighten us Christians.

The United States has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel. Further, Jewish people have been here since our ancestors stole this land.
