I'm seeking submissions of interesting stories from young Jews (aged 15-30) who have something to say about their personal experiences with any of the following topics (or another topic that isn't listed):
- Emerging from Interfaith Homes

- New Jewish Music
- Jewish Counterculture
- Exodus from Denominational Identification

This isn't your Bubbe's Judaism! You know it, now tell me why. Email jewishyouthstories@gmail.com for more information or to share your story, and get the conversation going on the Kibbitz Network at kibbitznetwork.ning.com.
First deadline for submission: Sunday, November 15, 2009.
Need more time? There will be plenty more opportunities to submit in the future. Get in early to help me get the ball rolling!
Note: Not all submissions are guaranteed inclusion, but all are appreciated. Submit stories in first person, 200-1000 words. If you want to share your story but don't feel comfortable writing it yourself, we can arrange a phone or email interview. Spread the word to your friends and family--this is going to be big!
