A New Way to Tell Our Story
We are calling on all Jews—across generations, denominations, and geographies. From tiny towns and villages, from modern-day “shtetels” to melting pots, from urban centers to college campuses. From the deeply observant to the culturally curious. Converts, interfaith families, queer Jews, Jews of color, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Russian, Persian, Israeli-American, Ashkenazi, and everyone who identifies as Jewish in one way or another—to tell your own unique Jewish story!

Our Mission
Collecting and sharing authentic Jewish narratives to showcase our diversity while changing how the world sees us.
What We believe
What We believe
We assert the fundamental right of Jewish people to cultural self-determination through authentic storytelling. We recognize the value in every story. We believe that sharing rich traditions and the diversity found within Jewish identity, Jews can be encountered as they really are, not as they are often portrayed.
Who We Are
What We believe
We are a team of oral historians, archivists, educators and technologists who have come together to ensure that the Jewish Story is told by those who live it every day. We have spent more than three decades honing our skills building technology platforms for stories that can change the world.
