Illuminating Our Ever-Growing Narrative
Our Mission
We are gathering work from Jewish teens, emerging leaders, and Holocaust survivors to collectively bear witness to the Jewish experience over the past century—while paying particular attention to the profound and visible shifts of the last five years.
This project seeks to hold complexity: continuity and rupture, memory and immediacy, inherited stories and lived realities. We are interested in how Jewish identity has been shaped by history, resilience, trauma, joy, faith, doubt, community, and change—and how recent events have altered the way we understand ourselves and our place in the world.
Please feel encouraged to explore the below links to learn more about our project and how you can get involved.
Get Involved
We welcome prose pieces, personal essays, narratives, poetry, visual art, photography, and interdisciplinary work. Whether your contribution reflects a single moment or a lifetime, public history or private reckoning, we invite you to share whatever you feel captures your experience of being Jewish.
We welcome correspondence from any and all potential partners, libraries, museums, and/or other cultural centers interested in sharing, featuring, or spreading the word about our anthology! Please reach out using the contact form linked below and a member of our team will be in touch at our earliest convenience.
