Newish Jewish Catalogue: A Guide for Co-Creators of Jewish Life

It is often alleged that when the Jewish community searches for the next big thing, we neglect tried and true solutions from the past. This project is a bold attempt by leading young academic and rabbinic scholars in their twenties and thirties to build on and update the 1970s -era “Jewish Catalogue” and replicate the impact the book had. 

The creative team sees this print and Web-based project as a resource for building creative Jewish life and imagining Jewish alternatives. They will invite users to explore ways of becoming co-creators and experimenting with new forms of Judaism beyond three previous categories of religion, Holocaust and Israel. From this team of talented academics and rabbis offering inspiring suggestions, readers of the Catalogue will be able to revitalize their Jewish lives by hosting their own discussion salons, festival observances, and life cycle events. 

The authors promise nothing short of a grassroots Jewish revolution. Want to join in?
