 how the birth of a son lead him to his family's history
The birth of a child can make us look into our past as much as our future. This is true for journalist Jonathan Freedland, whose new book, Jacob's Gift, charts the exploration of his family roots prompted by the birth of his first son.
He tells Jenni how uncovering the stories of his relatives, especially his mother (pictured), helped him discover what it means to be a father and a Jew.
