The Forward presents an evening of conversation about how millennial American Jews are building community in, and outside of, traditional spaces.
American Jewry is more diverse than ever, and 41% of Jews between the ages of 18-29 report not feeling attached to any particular branch of Judaism. Queer yeshivot, neighborhood minyanim, Jewish artist fellowships and political organizing around social justice, including Israel, have taken root in their place.
“Hineni” — which means “Here I am” — is a conversation with diverse Jews from across New York City discussing what is gained (and lost) by making Jewish life outside of traditional spaces, whether denominations are still effective and what this potential shift away from traditional spaces means for American Judaism culturally and politically. Panelists for the evening include: - Abby Stein, writer and activist
- Kendell Pinkney, rabbi and theatre artist
- Arielle Angel, editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents
- Alex Zeldin, columnist for the Forward
The event will be moderated by the Forward's deputy opinion editor, Nora Berman. |
