Though each essay is distinct, and the experiences are vastly different, the half-Jewish narrative in each describes the experience of growing up without a streamlined identity, unsure of community or religious direction. For 20 years, the Jewish community has discussed the problem of "Jewish Continuity", by which it means, "Jews marrying Jews." Two years ago, for the first time, more Jews intermarried than inmarried, and the Jewish community realised it could not stem the tide. Now, the Jewish community is turning over on itself, scrambling for ways to include and address the needs of an ever-growing half-Jewish population, after 20 years of alienating language and exclusion. Conferences are being called. Religious law is being re-examined. "Half/Life" seeks to be the book that will show the Jewish world, and the world at large, what it feels like on the inside of a Half/Life.
