Opis

In the Jewish communal world, engaging 20- and 30-somethings is a hot button issue: How do we get young Jews to feel connected to Israel? To affiliate with traditional Jewish institutions? To care about Jewish continuity, ritual and tradition? As a member of this exclusive community, Stefanie Bregman set out to tackle these questions and sought out to compile a collection of personal essays and memoirs from Jewish 20- and 30-somethings across the country.

This volume is a collection of personal essays by Jewish 20- and 30-somethings. Each piece offers a window into how we express our Judaism-our voices together tell a complete story. Matthue Roth tackles the conflicted, sometimes hypocritical nature of the Modern Orthodox dating world. Stacey Ballis makes the Passover Seder her own. Chai Wolfman explores the challenges of same-sex and interfaith relationships. Other topics include JDate, issues surrounding conversion, Israel, and the impossible task of defining what it means to be a young Jew in America today
