How Do You Jew: Exploring Jewish Identity in a Modern World

Description

Federation's Young Leadership Division (YLD) is partnering with jHUB and the Israeli Shlicha for a unique and informative program, "How Do You Jew?" featuring educator and activist, Elliot Vaisrub Glasseberg.

Many young Jews today don’t connect to traditional Jewish forms of affiliation and practice, but still crave a meaningful relationship with Judaism and Israel. This is true not only for Jews in the USA, but around the world and in Israel too. How can Jews around the world work together to create new, relevant approaches to Jewish expression and engagement, and how can the Israeli secular Jewish renaissance serve as a model an inspiration? Come meet fellow young leaders from Cleveland for a meaningful conversation over drinks and snacks.

Each registrant will receive one drink ticket. Kosher snacks will be provided.
