Young? Jewish? Share Your Story!

I'm in the process of working on a book about modern Jewish youth culture in America and I need your help!

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
  • Birthright Israel
  • Making Aliyah
  • Hillel, AEPi, AEPhi
  • JDate
  • Hip Jewish Media
  • New Jewish Music
  • Jewish Counterculture
  • Exodus from Denominational Identification
  • Young Rabbinate
  • Reclaiming Ritual Observance
  • Hebrew, Yiddish Usage
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!

Accepted File Types: .doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt
