Jewish Identity in the Age of Facebook
Identity & Responsibility
Technology is not what young Jews do - it is who they are! This session will explore how social networking web-sites help us to better understand the ways in which Jewish teenagers and young adults today conceive of their own identities? Rather than being scared off by these sites this session will explore why they have become so integral to identity today. It will also look at ways in which the Jewish community has both leveraged and avoided these technologies.

Jewish Teenagers
What We Think We Know About Them
Identity & Responsibility
What is it that we know, or think we know about the enigmatic species of the Jewish teenager? This forum will explore some of the myths and realities of what it means to be a (Jewish) teenager in the new millennium. Rather than only focusing on the often highlighted negative stereotypes of teenagers this forum will look at both the “negative” and “positive” aspects of the adolescent – but more importantly will look at this generation as teenagers and not just as adults-in-the-making.
