History will remember what happened. These stories will remember what it felt like.

What does this moment in Jewish life feel like for you?
זיכרון • תקווה • שייכות • קול
Memory • Hope • Belonging • Voice
Not the headlines. Not the statistics.
But what it actually feels like.
The group chats that don’t stop blowing up. The weird drift between old friends. The moments of fierce, unexpected pride mixed with quiet exhaustion. The late-night conversations. The things you’ve never said out loud.
You’re Part of the Story:שותפים לסיפור is a global storytelling project connecting Jewish young adults through shared experiences, creativity, reflection, and community.
Each journal will travel hand to hand, town to town, collecting artwork, song lyrics, photographs, late-night poems, raw reflections, prayers, memories, and unfiltered questions.
No assignments. No right answers. No special qualifications.
Just your story.
A Story Still Being Written
Each journal travels from person to person, community to community, gathering stories, artwork, memories, questions, and reflections along the way.
What begins as a blank book becomes a conversation between people who may never meet but are living through the same moment in Jewish life.

Help more stories be told
Your support helps us print journals, distribute them across communities, host storytelling gatherings, preserve completed journals, and make participation accessible to young people everywhere.
Every contribution helps another voice find its way into the story. Together, we’re building something that will outlast this moment and help future generations understand what it felt like to live through it.
Host a Gathering

Bring the project to your community
In the future, we’ll be partnering with communities, organizations, schools, camps, synagogues, and cultural institutions to host storytelling events inspired by the journals.
These gatherings will create opportunities for people to connect, reflect, create, and share their experiences with one another.
