Jonathan Rotsztain Being Jewish can be complicated. Join Jonathan Rotsztain, also known as the Self-Loving Jew, in this series of auto-biographical visual essays defining a secular , cultural Jewish identity. Reclaiming the self- hating jew trope, these comics address the shift away from traditional Jewish institutions among younger Jewish people. Guilt-free, the work attempts to articulate the ambivalence, angst and adoration some Jewish millennials and Gen Zers may feel about religious Judaism and assimilation, embracing forging personal beliefs and practices that honour the Jewish legacy, adapting them alongside other value considerations. 16 pages, 8.5" x 5.5", full colour.
