For Jewish Americans
Between Tradition and Tomorrow
Between tradition and tomorrow, there is a Jew. This is where you name who you are.
For the Jewish American person working through what being Jewish means to them — across the denominational spectrum, the cultural-religious question, Zionism and Israel, antisemitism, and the question of what Jewish identity asks of them in the present
The Name It First Experience
Jewish American identity holds more complexity than most: the secular-religious spectrum, the Ashkenazi-Sephardi-Mizrahi diversity, the relationship with Israel that no one agrees on, the reality of antisemitism in America, the Holocaust's living memory, the question of what Jewish culture and Jewish faith mean separately. This workbook is about naming where you stand — not what the community expects, not what Israel expects, not what your family expects. What you think and believe and are choosing. You leave with The Jewish Americans Identity Charter — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does being Jewish mean to you — not the definition, but what it actually means in your life?
- What does Judaism give you that you love and want to carry?
- What does it mean to be Jewish American right now — with everything that is happening?
