What are the keys to a proud Jew­ish life? Part mem­oir, part man­i­festo, Michael Steinhardt’s Jew­ish Pride offers a com­pelling vision for a rich, reward­ing future for Jews in Amer­i­ca and around the world. From his mid­dle class begin­nings in Brook­lyn to a spec­tac­u­lar Wall Street career, Stein­hardt under­stood that apa­thy and assim­i­la­tion were threat­en­ing the Jew­ish future in Amer­i­ca. Mean­while estab­lished Jew­ish insti­tu­tions were fail­ing in the urgent task of strength­en­ing sec­u­lar Jew­ish iden­ti­ty. Using his own cap­i­tal and the wis­dom and con­nec­tions he’d gained in his suc­cess­ful busi­ness career, Stein­hardt recruit­ed part­ners, focused on data and results, and even got the Israeli gov­ern­ment to help launch the rev­o­lu­tion­ary Birthright pro­gram. By turns provoca­tive, inspir­ing, reveal­ing, and out­right hilar­i­ous, Jew­ish Pride cap­tures its author’s unique per­son­al­i­ty and out­look and offers hon­est talk about the Jew­ish world today, along with a bold pre­scrip­tion for revi­tal­iz­ing Jew­ish life in the future. Michael Stein­hardt left a stel­lar career on Wall Street and spent the next three decades launch­ing rev­o­lu­tion­ary phil­an­thropic pro­grams like Birthright Israel and OneTable that offer a proud, rich future for the next gen­er­a­tion of sec­u­lar Amer­i­can Jews.
