Unwrapping the Gift
- Sunday 9:30 AM–10:45 AM Gershman Y, Classroom 411
Contemporary Jewish Life, Teen Friendly, Text and Thought
The 21st Century has seen radical changes in how young adults identify as Jews and create community. They look beyond traditional means of experiencing Judaism and involving themselves as Jews in the world around them. The session will explore what identity means for many young Jews, consider precedents in Jewish literature, and reflect on the implications for the future of the Jewish community.
